A CATFISH NAMED JANESSA (A Special "LOVE, JANESSA” Crossover Event) with Katrina Onstad

In today's epic semi-crossover event, we charter into the waters of the highly regarded podcast, Love, Janessa. Co-produced by the CBC and the BBC, Love, Janessa is a fast paced, edge-of-your-seat hunt for Janessa - one of the most used "identities" by catfishers worldwide. As the chase for Janessa unfolds, we are taken into the highly organized and sophisticated criminal networks that specialize in catfishing schemes. This ain't your MTV's Catfish folks! Together with Katrina Onstad (esteemed journalist and producer of Love, Janessa), we delve into how these catfishing schemes run, and ask: Is catfishing really just inception?, Who are most susceptible to being catfished?, Can catfishing ever be positive or justified?, Does love make fools of us all? And we examine how I would fare if I were to perform a Love Heist. Join us! It's a funny, sad, sometimes beautiful, sometimes tragic and always, a very curious ride.      And of course check out Love, Janessa which is out right now! I swear it's good but I know my word means nothing to you so rest assured, it has been named as one of the year’s best new shows by The Guardian, Vulture and Esquire. See? I told you! Now, let's go fishing, friends and foes. Thanks for coming by. I hope you stay a while.
