The Opportunist is an original podcast hosted by Hannah Smith.

But REALLY!!!?

In reference to the latest season... HOW can people be so "supple"? How (no offense to the host) can this even be a story? The most frightening thing is that people are such idiots. It helps me understand the last couple of elections, but these situations are JUST BEYOND ME. All I can say is, "Bless y'all's hearts".

10 Thumbs Up

This is a great podcast. I think the stories are well chosen, and that the episodes are well written and planned out. The host is NOT annoying. I know that sounds weird but in a lot of these podcasts I feel like the narrator inserts too much personality. That’s not the case here. It’s all about the story. There is a lot of original audio, lots of interviews, and lots of original content. I’ve listened to three of the single episodes and now this series about the Rehab Mogul. It’s OUTRAGEOUS that people get away with some of this stuff. I like that it’s also not condemning people. It’s just a story and a presentation of facts. It’s also well edited and sounds like it has a professional score. WELL DONE!!! quickly becoming a favorite in my rotation!!!!!!!!!
