Simon Leviev, the con man behind Netflix’s Tinder Swindler, says his years of lying to matches make him the right person to build an app that protects people from dating scams. Miranda takes us to Head Trip in Indio, California, where lightning shut down the first night, and Calvin Harris’ rescheduled set gave her generation a weekend she calls healing. Los Tigres del Norte bring their songs about immigrant life to NPR’s El Tiny, and lead singer Jorge Hernández has a message for the younger fans filling their shows.
