Hot Money is back. In this series, Financial Times reporter Miles Johnson investigates a mysterious murder in a small town that leads to a web of drugs, money laundering and state-sponsored assassinations stretching from Dublin to Dubai. At the centre is a cocaine super cartel that is revolutionising the global drugs market. This eight-part investigative podcast, published twice-weekly, probes the links between criminals and legitimate businesses, and between governments and gangsters.

Customer Reviews
Weird ending
Great podcast overall, and really well researched + produced. The only thing I found odd was the hosts criticism at the end. It seemed misguided, and offered no chance for those he was criticizing to respond.
Season 2 a bust
Season 1 was excellent. Season 2 failed to engage. Narrative was off and sometimes defied credulity. Too much acting
Great reporting
Great reporting, and I’m enjoying the podcasts thoroughly. Thank you!
