Customer Reviews
Riveting
A very clear and non-biased report, exceptionally investigated and produced. The one character that is being investigated by Canada had also fooled US CIA operatives and the Times announce this in every episode. It did not spoil the entire story.
Why is this still available to listen to?
The core of this project was completely debunked. A total waste of time to listen to, unless you want to listen to a fictional story.
Surprised!
It’s unbelievable that this podcast is still available knowing it is fake/Hoax. The Times has accepted it failed again in reporting and posting this podcast but again “fear sells”.
