Limited Podcast Series ‘Royal Swindle,’ About High Society Scam, Set From Blanchard House, USG Audio and Exactly Right Media (EXCLUSIVE)

Blanchard House, USG Audio and Exactly Right Media have set a new limited podcast about a high society scam.

Titled “Royal Swindle,” it tells the story of two Australian women who infiltrated London high society, becoming toast of the town. Soon the women, who it also turns out are lovers, offer an “exclusive investment opportunity” and the money is rolling in.

“But this mysterious millionaire duo are concealing a dark past and dastardly intentions,” reads the synopsis. “Everyone from England’s horse-loving elite to unsuspecting businessmen fall under their seductive spell. Even Queen Elizabeth II gets a dose of the couple’s irresistible charms. But it won’t be long before a small-town detective gets wind of their exploits and vows to stop them. The only problem is that these two are exceedingly hard to catch.”

Journalist Becky Milligan unravels a story of love and greed – and even manages to track down one half of the duplicitous duo, persuading her to tell her tale.

The eight-episode series launches July 23.

“Move over Tinder Swindler! There’s a new scam artist story in town and this time they’re coming for your horses,” said Karen Kilgariff, CEO of Exactly Right Media. “We’re honored to be the home of this kind of original storytelling that our friends at Blanchard House are so great at bringing to life.”

Jordan Moblo, EVP of creative acquisitions at Universal Studio Group, added: “At its core, ‘Royal Swindle’ is a story of two women who loved each other deeply and conned the world just as fiercely. That compelling blend of passion, chaos and charisma is exactly the kind of story we champion at USG Audio, and we’re excited for listeners to experience it.”

Blanchard House CEO Rosie Pye said: “I can promise listeners, this is a story you’ll never forget. Perfect for bringing on a travel day, you’ll be right there with our two intriguing protagonists, following them in their wild adventures, from sex dungeons to the Royal Enclosure. It’s a gift of a story, and one that we were so pleased to bring to audiences with such excellent partners.”
