The Truth Illusion
‘The Truth Illusion’ explores one of the most profound questions that philosophers through the ages have tried to answer. What can we prove to be the truth?
In today's deeply divided societies, is it even possible for people to agree on a common ‘reality’?
Al Jazeera investigates how those deepening divisions began and how they have eroded faith in authority – creating conspiracy theories and ‘alternative facts’. -
Degrees of Abuse: The Impact
When Al Jazeera's I-Unit released its investigation into sexual misconduct against women at British Universities in late 2021, it created a storm on social media. But after the revelations, has anything changed?
In this episode, Degrees of Abuse: The Impact, we find out what’s happened to the four male academics accused of abuse. We also hear from women in each case about how it felt to finally hear the names made public and what kind of response they've received.

Degrees of Abuse: Part 6: ‘He lies to avoid accountability’

Degrees of Abuse: Part 5: ‘He had deliberately obscured who he was’
The PhD student at Glasgow University was charismatic and charming and part of his appeal was his tragic past. But his relationships with several women became abusive and controlling. As our investigation dug deeper into his history in his home country, we uncovered his lies and the real story of his murdered wife.

Degrees of Abuse: Part 4: ‘I was absolutely destroyed’
Four women delivered separate complaints to Glasgow University about the behaviour of the same lecturer. Their experiences were strikingly similar but the University found the only person to have done anything wrong, wasn’t the accused, but the accuser.

Degrees of Abuse: Part 3: ‘It became emotional and then it became sexual’
Students started off admiring this lecturer at the University of Glasgow. They thought he cared about their academic careers. But when his comments and messages became more intimate and personal, they say he crossed boundaries and started grooming.

Customer Reviews
As good as it gets
Investigative journalism at it’s finest from a perspective that is new to me but insightful and truly top notch!
2 episodes in and wanting more
Really great information and well produced. The story sheds a light on something I was totally unaware of.
I’ve only listened to the first two episodes and eagerly waiting for the final 2 parts of the series. Keep up the good work! Hope there’s plenty more where this came from.
Real journalism
Refreshing to hear authentic journalism for the sake of the craft—to illuminate the shadowy spaces and bring understanding and awareness to the mind. Al Jazeera consistently delivers and this new podcast is enjoyable, and I’m looking forward to future episodes.
