  • Makes you wish you were in the room

    Great Podcast : entertaining and informative - also a great illustration of the importance of good quality journalism for a functioning democracy.

    Loved hearing the stories from individual journalists working on this story: and the descriptions of secret “bunker” rooms with pizza boxes piled high!

    One small (technical) issue - episode 2 has some short pauses in audio - probably missing the music interlinking sections? (Not a big deal - but I thought I had hit pause inadvertently!)

  • Changed my perception

    The inside story of the expenses scandal. Very well researched and produced. I have a new fond respect for The Telegraph and MP Norman Baker who shine in this otherwise grubby tale of how our MPs systematically dipped into taxpayers money for their second homes, smart TVs abs Duck houses.
