The Upright Citizen’s Brigade alum is light on her feet and quick with a joke. The cons that the Scam Goddess herself, Laci Mosley, covers each week with a different guest are (relatively) low stakes: They include famous frauds like the Bling Ring but also smaller, lesser known cons you missed, like that time a teenager in England hacked the director of the C.I.A.

When Pam Shriver came forward with sexual abuse allegations against her longtime coach, Don Candy, she gave her first interview to The Tennis Podcast. Their dedication to the sport has earned the respect of legends like Billie Jean King. Charmingly, all three become rather frustrated by anything that distracts from the tennis itself-including, this year, Djokovic’s Australian court case and Nick Kyrgios’ off-court antics.

With two of the greatest athletes of all time, Serena Williams and Roger Federer, retiring from tennis, the sport finds itself in at a moment of transition.
