Listen to all six episodes today. Rob Moore had a successful career in television until one day he ran out of ideas. After a stint as a gardener, a more enticing door was opened for him. He was offered a job in the shadowy world of corporate intelligence - he became a spy. Tasked with working undercover to extract information from an environmental campaign group, Rob Moore says he eventually became sympathetic to the campaigners’ aims. He decided to turn on his employers and support the group he was meant to be infiltrating. Only it wasn’t that straightforward. He never told the campaigners who he really was and he never told his spymasters what he was really doing. Neither side knew the whole truth. That was until 2016, when after years of being in control of these two disparate worlds he was unexpectedly outed. Now, the campaigners see him as a traitor who betrayed their trust. He sees himself as a misunderstood whistleblower. From the team that brought you Sweet Bobby, and over three years in the making, Into The Dirt is a story about truth, spies and the stories we tell ourselves The six-part series launches Tuesday 27th June.

I’m sympathetic to Rob

Rob got tough treatment from these podcasters. He did ultimately do the right thing and paid a very high price for it. I wish there had been more coverage of the international asbestos industry, especially in Vietnam.
Intriguing story but with some gaps

Overall I enjoyed this series a lot. I learned about corporate espionage, asbestos, and appreciated the nuanced exploration of what truth is. The one aspect I felt this series fell short is delving further into Rob’s side of the story. I didn’t really get to hear the perspectives of people who view Rob positively, such as his Buddhist friends. Unless I missed it, there didn’t seem to be any explanation for what Rob thought he actually uncovered (what was his theory, even if it’s a conspiracy theory). The narrative seems to be that Rob is deluding himself on the importance and impact of his actions, but I would’ve appreciated being given more specific details of what is it that he thought he achieved to decide for myself if he’s claims hold water.
Another gem

Everything these people produce is excellent.
Some missed opportunities
2023. 07. 15.
I’m a big fan of Tortoise but I had some issues with this show. I found the first several episodes very hard to follow. I also wish there had been an explanation for how Tortoise was able to publish this podcast if Rob Moore withdrew his consent partway through. Finally, and in my view, the biggest missed opportunity was having some sort of conversation/expertise introduced about Mr. Moore’s mental health. For nearly the whole show, I found myself thinking that there is likely some (undiagnosed?) mental health issue(s) that’s creating an inability to have true empathy for the impact of his actions as well as an inability to reconsider his perception of himself. I wish him peace. You can hear how distressed he is by the experience of doing this podcast, especially in the last couple episodes. Lots of ethical dilemmas here, in both the original story and the choice to tell this story.
