Lurkers

Lurkers is a narrative true crime podcast about real cases that begin online and turn into real-world danger. We follow the digital trail behind catfishing, grooming, cyberstalking, sextortion, deepfakes, romance scams, and other forms of manipulation that cross from screens into everyday life. Hosted by Frank Battiston, each episode combines careful research, immersive sound design, and a focus on the people at the center of the story. We look at what happened, how investigators uncovered the truth, and what these cases can teach us about trust in the digital world. New episodes every two weeks.
