In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal.

British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, they’re all about power.

But often at the heart of a scandal, there are ordinary human stories. Stories of those caugh... more

  • the osbournes

    Currently listening to the Osbournes episodes and it is just so much fun! Matt Forde doing his Sharon Osborne voice is nothing short of brilliant! His Ozzie voice is good too, but Sharon is just hilarious! Love listening to Alice Levine giggle and her commentary is priceless! Just perfect during these dismal days!

  • Fantastic

    Great for binge listening - intriguing enough to keep my attention for HOURS (how else can I get my house clean?!), topical enough that current issues are covered with sufficient depth and respect but not becoming too preachy (I’m the choir, I don’t need to be even more outraged), while the stories of major injustices and unappreciated heroes and heroines are given much-needed airtime. Ticks every box for enjoyable listening.

  • Two stars for the voice acting

    I enjoy the detail and content of this podcast but unfortunately I’ve had to stop listening to a few of the series due to the distractingly bad character voices. The most recent Ozzy and Sharron enactment scenes are diabolical.

  • Good topics

    I like the short banter between the hosts, but the voice changing based on which characters are speaking is so incredibly distracting!!! For starters, if it’s a male character, perhaps use a male voice? Or just was the text without sounding like you’re doing a puppet show for kids. Ruins it every time!!!
