The recurring cast
Real Hustle, Real Fix
The same handful of hustlers come back season after season, so you can watch a business actually change — not get fixed in one dramatic episode. Each one gets the same four-part read, with a printable placard planned for every case.
Drawn from the book's cast and from listener questions — composite scenarios, real situations.
