The Podcast Scam You Didn’t Know About (ft. Everyone)

I received an anonymous email from one of my subscribers alerting me to a potential podcasting scam.

UPDATE (10 Jan, 2024): I've just received an email from Corey Henry, Director of U.S. Corporate Communications for Philip Morris International (which owns Zyn), clarifying that "we have no relationship with any of the podcasters noted in your video and any allegation that a relationship exists is categorically false."
