*Caleb here: Neither Greg and I are from Texas and clearly neither of us looked at a map of Texas before we recorded this podcast. Then you look at a map, and San Antonio isn’t really in west Texas. It’s more like south-central Texas. Apologies to west Texas. Or maybe to San Antonio? Either way, no one there is paying state income tax.

What is Oh My Fraud?

"Oh My Fraud" is an irreverent podcast from CPA/comedian Greg Kyte and blogger/former CPA Caleb Newquist.

The two come together to unpack their favorite frauds and explore the circumstances, psychology, and interpersonal dynamics involved. They also fully indulge in victim-blaming the defrauded widows, orphans, infirm and feeble-minded—because who can resist?

If you fancy yourself a trusted advisor—or prefer your true crime with spreadsheets instead of corpses—listen to this show to learn what to watch out for to keep your clients, your firm, and even yourself safe.
