True Anon Podcast Explores Andrew Crispo's Dark World
Episode 545 of TRUE ANON TRUTH FEED takes a deep dive into the story of disgraced New York art dealer Andrew Crispo, with author Rachel Corbett as guest.
American podcast TRUE ANON TRUTH FEED released its 545th episode on May 4, 2026, under the title True Crime Time. Featuring author Rachel Corbett as guest and running 83 minutes, the episode focuses on one of the most talked-about and controversial figures in American true crime history: art dealer Andrew Crispo, who rose to prominence in New York's elite art world before becoming a central figure in one of the city's darkest criminal cases.
Rachel Corbett and the Book Behind the Episode
Rachel Corbett is the author of The Monsters We Make, which serves as the content foundation for the episode. Corbett joins as both expert and storyteller, and the conversation revolves around the intersection of criminal profiling and what happens when powerful men operate in the gray zones between the art world and outright criminality. Corbett's approach combines rigorous journalistic research with a deeper psychological understanding of what drives people toward extreme behavior — a theme that runs throughout The Monsters We Make.
The episode illustrates how true crime podcasts are increasingly drawing on books and academic expertise rather than relying solely on court documents and interviews with those directly involved. The result is a more nuanced and analytical take on complex cases that rewards listeners looking for depth over sensationalism.

Crispo's case is a textbook example of how fame and wealth can function as a shield — and of how devastating a fall from the very top of society can be.
