 “Totally obsessed with the first one and this is just as good.”

 FINDING Q

They called themselves ‘Q’ and left a trail of cryptic messages for an increasing number of followers to obsess over. The conspiracy theory became a movement, crashing into mainstream politics and breaking countless families along the way. Journalist Nicky Woolf dives into the world of QAnon in his search to find the shadowy figure behind it all and the legacy they’ve created.  Listen now>>

“This is a beautifully made podcast, that really highlights the human cost of conspiracy theories”

STEPHEN FRY’S EDWARDIAN SECRETS

Perhaps thanks to TV period dramas, the popular imagination may picture the Edwardian era as an idyllic window between the wars, a time of manners and tea on the lawn. But below the surface lies a frenetic and often bizarre age where scientific leaps forward went hand in hand with belief in fairies, and secrets of sex, lies and murder simmered. Listen now >>

“A brilliant balance of entertaining storytelling and fascinating historical facts.” (Anon)
