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.

Introducing… Who Trolled Amber? What comes to mind when you think of Amber Heard? Liar? Survivor? Narcissist? Millions of us watched the celebrity trial of the century, Depp v Heard, in 2022. Amber Heard lost and Johnny Depp was vindicated. But what if Amber was actually the victim of an organised trolling campaign? What if the online hate against her was manufactured?

It’s a story about how our own thoughts and opinions can be moulded without us even realising. All six episodes of Who Trolled Amber are now available to binge-listen.

When Sarah watched her 23 year old daughter cycle away from her in Chelsea - a well-off corner of London - she had no idea it would be the last time they’d see each other for 6 years. What would make a loving child from a life of privilege sever ties with friends and family, and disappear? It turns out, Sarah wasn’t alone in losing a daughter. Something strange was happening to other young women, too. And they all had one thing in common: a kind of therapist figure - a woman they were all seeing and sharing their problems, their secrets, their fears with. But it took years for the truth of what was happening behind closed doors to emerge, and the extraordinary things this woman led them to believe. Dangerous Memories is the story of young women who wanted to be healed that became, for us, a story about the healer, and what we risk when we let someone else into our mind, and our memory.

I’m sympathetic to Rob
9월 23일
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.
Ethically Precarious
11월 5일
Global Witness is an NGO and this is about spying involving NGOs, but they act as if they have the moral high ground without establishing that they actually do. Then this story gets laundered through Tortoise as some form of hit job on the main participant who withdrew consent. This podcast is icky and underhanded and feels like dressed up bullying. Ethically all of this seems questionable and leaves a bad taste.
Intriguing story but with some gaps
2023. 09. 29.
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.
