Transcript

This is an episode of Inside the Tent, a podcast going behind the scenes of Campside’s award winning shows.

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.

Dr. Ronald Dante was a talented hypnotist (and not an actual doctor) whose mind-bending schemes spanned decades.

Dante worked the smoke-filled nightclubs of 1960s Hollywood and rode the self-help craze of the 1980s and 90s, hypnotizing women out of their fortunes, taking out his rivals and opening up one of the biggest fake universities in history.

Host Sam Mullins says Dante loved being onstage and loved controlling people - hypnotism was his calling. Dante was even the person whose relationship with Lana Turner made her swear off men forever.

Mullins (host of Campside’s chart-topping Wild Boys) tracks him through yacht clubs, prison cells, trailer parks and theme parks to uncover the unbelievable true story of the greatest con man you’ve never heard of.
