Unmissables: Explosive Lies

Sticking with investigative podcasts, this new six-part series fronted by Alice Levine looks at how governments and security services backed an innovative cutting-edge bomb detector and used it in conflict zones.

Only, it was a scam. It created millionaires of the scammers who flogged the products, but it also cost countless lives from those who had trusted the technology. Levine unpacks the con, not forgetting its devastating consequences.

All episodes are available to listen to now. If you listened to the series fronted by The News Agent’s Lewis Goodall on a bitcoin glitch (that we featured in this newsletter a year ago), you can find the podcast on the same feed.
