Buried

From a deathbed tape to a witness in protection, Buried is the award-winning true-crime series digging into some of the most disturbing environmental stories in history. "It's buried isn't it? But it's coming back." The haunting words of a witness who claimed he'd discovered a toxic chemical secret half a century ago that would affect us all. In this thrilling new investigation, Buried: The Last Witness, Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor team up with the film star Michael Sheen, who recorded the witness before he died. Together, they dig into the unseen files of a man who said he was beaten up and put under police protection, after alleging that a chemical had contaminated the food chain. It is a story straight out of a Hollywood drama: an opera-loving British gentleman clashes with an American corporate giant, claiming there was a conspiracy to silence him. Was the witness right? Science and shadows collide in this true-crime epic, as the hosts search for the truth, testing soil, food and even their own blood - to uncover what one chemical can do at its worst. Buried is a bingeable, fast-paced true-crime series exposing urgent environmental stories you've almost certainly never heard of. Husband-and-wife investigative duo Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor delve into thrilling mysteries - bringing to light never-before-heard recordings or boxes of explosive legal documents, inviting the audience to unpick crimes or scandals with them. Their stories throw them - and us - into secret worlds, be it the organised crime unfolding in our waste, or trails of toxic chemicals that go right to our plates.

But ridiculously short episodes.
Too crucial to complain

Just binge this! Ppl moaning abt the ads and short eps - all eps are out and you CAN skip ads! This is WAY too important a story, not to mention chilling and exceptionally thoroughly researched, that I cannot believe people are rating based on length. Ofc it’s not ideal but I disagree that there is too much ‘filler’ - I think that 95% of what is there is important info so we can make an informed decision about the truth and what sort of long-lasting, serious health consequences are involved here. Putting up with skipping some ads and having to jump to the next ep is really minor compared with the quality and importance here.
Overly produced / minimal content

The first episode is essentially a teaser with 2-3 minutes of material strung out to 15 minutes. Netflix documentary series tend to rely on atmospheric recreations as filler to an excessive degree -- this a first for me to hear a podcast rely on such a method. I support the journalistic effort, but I can't support the gratuitous creative choices. 👎
