Thoughts on The Thing About Helen and Olga

I just started this podcast about two old ladies running an insurance scam. They pretended to help homeless men and then murdered them to collect the insurance money. And just like in the classic film noir Double Indeminity, they were tripped up by an insurance investigator.

People's greed and their ability to convince themselves that they've figured out all the angles never ceases to amaze me. They honestly believe that there won't be any red flags and the insurance company will simply pay the money, no questions asked.

Insurance companies are businesses though. They like their money and don't like paying out. It's not just the cops they have to fool. It's insurance investigators, friends, family, lawyers and private investigators, just to name a few. I do enjoy watching them figure out that they're not as clever as they thought they were.
