Fakes, Phonies, Frisbees

Studio 360

Kurt Andersen and art expert Thomas Hoving look at how we still get fooled by artifice, and how the line between fake and authentic sometimes gets blurry. We’ll hear from an art forger in England who did time for his crimes, and about the actors who impersonated presidents during radio’s early days.
