The Opportunist tells true stories of regular people who turn sinister by embracing opportunity. How does an everyday person turn into a thief, a scammer or a cult leader? Perhaps the most dangerous person is the one who appears the most normal. Perhaps there is a dark potential lurking inside all of us that is just waiting for the right opportunity to emerge. The Opportunist is an original podcast hosted by Sarah James McLaughlin.

So educational. Well thought through covers both sides which is SO important. I’m constantly playing these while cooking, cleaning, driving, brushing my teeth, you name it. Excellent show.

To echo others reviews, this show used to be one of my favorites and now I can’t even make it through a full episode. The host makes even the most interesting information unlistenable. Wildly annoying.
Older Seasons Bingeworthy

Really really enjoyed the podcast when the host was Hannah Smith. Binged nearly every story in a one month period. Great reporting, engaging, and I found myself laughing out loud at some quippy lines. The latest seasons seemed so interesting and I love the ones with multiple parts and I couldn’t get more than 5 minutes into the Tim one from 2024 because of the voice/ tone. Not sure who the next host is but sad to have lost Hannah and won’t be listening anymore. So bummed!
Terrible AI Voice!

I loved this podcast in the early episodes when Hannah Smith was the host. Now this AI voice is so terrible I can’t even listen to the content. Y’all made a terrible mistake when you changed over. Unfortunately I’m unfollowing.
Why don’t you listen to the listeners?

I’m an unsubscriber now, however I used to reaaaaaaally like this show. I like the premise//idea of the show. I don’t think it’s executed well anymore. I think the reviews give you feedback on how to improve……. Then you continue doing what everyone gives you negative feedback on. This absolutely will not be a podcast that reaches top charts. It’s pretty unbearable to listen to these days. I think the potential of this podcast is so high, yet I don’t care to stick around while you figure it out. While this is your job and you need to make money somehow, putting in one million ads ultimately pisses people off. It doesn’t help. Making everything a listener+ episode also pisses people off. Be smarter and maybe you’ll find more subscribers
Bad host, bad editing
Feb 14
The host’s tone and pacing feel unnatural. Her voice is not engaging which makes the story difficult to follow. If she is a real person, she needs a lot more training. Why are there so many random pauses? I used to enjoy this show. This is no longer the same show I subscribed to. Unfollowing 😞
It lost me

They changed hosts and added music. I can’t enjoy it anymore.
New host is AI

Bring back a real human being to host.
I unfollowed since it is now puts stories behind a subscription firewall. No thanks.

I’d rather listen to ads than have to subscribe for all of the content and after reading other reviews, AI and not Hannah? Talk about being opportunists!
4th ad break in 10 minutes

Unlistenable. Too many ads now.
