Listeners react to Love Janessa and how a ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ journalist exposed this online dating scam. Plus the podcastβs commissioning editor tells us how they handled adult themes.
Love Janessa is the podcast series that examines an online so-called βcatfishing schemeβ which deceives mostly men into falling for and giving money to an apparently beautiful young woman called Janessa. But, the seven-part series asks - just who is Janessa Brazil? We hear your thoughts on the series and weβ are joined by journalist Hannah Ajala who set out to uncover the truth behind this form of fraudulent online dating.
