Jen Shah’s Million-Dollar “Shah-Let”
Episode description
KP Parker and Matt Bragg welcome comedian Deanna Ortiz (host of Hatch’s Crime For Bed podcast) for a true-crime bedtime story ripped from reality TV headlines.
What You’ll Hear
Spam Calls & Scams: With Jen Shah freshly released from prison, Deanna walks KP and Matt through the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star’s infamous telemarketing scheme — and how a life of luxury unraveled on camera.
The Rise & Fall of a Housewife: From the “Shah Chalet” to a nationwide fraud operation, the trio traces the line between fame, illusion, and accountability.
Reality Bites Back: KP, Matt, and Deanna ask what redemption looks like for a housewife turned headline — and whether fame will come calling again.
