About A Gambler's Bluff

Xander, a true crime podcast host, is intrigued with the story of Chia Teck Leng - a finance manager at Asia Pacific Breweries who swindled over $100 million from banks to fuel his gambling addiction. With help from his producer Priya, Xander digs into the case by speaking to key people in Chia's life: his conflicted best friend, a casino agent who enabled his addiction, and the determined inspector who arrested him. Chia ultimately received the highest sentence for a white-collar crime in Singapore's history; a 42-year prison sentence. A Gambler’s Bluff is a gripping journey into addiction, ambition, and the price of deception. Was Chia playing the game of his life, or did he simply miscalculate the stakes?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
