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.

  • so engaging!

    I came here from Spotify because I needed more! my favorite is when Alice makes Matt giggle. I loved the guests when Matt was out, it lessoned the blow of him being gone. but I was oh so happy to have him back. what a duo these two are! I like the banter and the on going in jokes. I find myself smiling and often laughing along. please never stop!

    I watched most of the Horizon enquiry.

    Similar to these podcasts, it achieved little.

    We need to use the names of those responsible.

    Until these highly paid crooks are prosecuted, these travesties will continue... more
