The Foundry Files

Tam Leitch

The Foundry Files is an evidence-led documentary podcast exploring the myths, mysteries, cold cases, cover-ups, and forgotten records that changed the story. From historical myths and strange claims to wartime secrets, unsolved cases, propaganda, and dark chapters of the past, each episode follows the evidence rather than the legend. Some stories begin as folklore. Some begin as official records. Some begin with a version of history that was repeated for decades before the truth started to crack through. Featuring episodes from Fact or Fiction Foundry and Midnight Casefiles, this feed brings together clear, calm, investigative storytelling for listeners who want the facts behind the mystery. No hype. No conspiracy bait. Just the record, the evidence, and the story underneath. Myths, mysteries, and the records that changed the story.
