🎙️ CONmunity Podcast (formerly Conning the Con)
From Sarah Ferris Media
When your gut says something’s off… do you follow it?
Welcome to CONmunity Podcast, the investigative true-story series that explores trust, belief, and the fine line between ambition and illusion.Each season follows a different real-world investigation — told through the voices of those who lived it, questioned it, and tried to make sense of it.
Season 1 (Conning the Con) followed my sister and me as we uncovered one of New Zealand’s most audacious relationship deceptions.Season 2 (The BADmiral) unpacks the rise of a global humanitarian organisation called IntSAR and the extraordinary claims surrounding the man who led it.Over eighteen months of reporting, I’ve traced how veterans, ex-law-enforcement, and humanitarians were drawn in by a vision that promised purpose and service — and how difficult it can be to see what’s real when hope is the hook.
Independent, empathetic, and grounded in firsthand testimony, CONmunity brings listeners inside complex human stories — without assigning guilt, but always asking the questions that matter.

With Andrew in Australia and out of our reach, we get creative....or maybe a little desperate!
In the last Episode
We explored Andrew's past in Hobart, Tasmania.
By the end of May, police are still building the case against him.
Andrew had fled the country and was apparently living in Australia.
He has told Emma he is working for the government as a spy and was going into one serious last mission.
