The Tip Off

Welcome to The Tip Off- the podcast where we take you behind the scenes of some of the best investigative journalism from recent years. Each episode we’ll be digging into an investigative scoop- hearing from the journalists behind the work as they tell us about the leads, the dead-ends and of course, the tip offs. There’ll be car chases, slammed doors, terrorist cells, meetings in dimly lit bars and cafes, wrangling with despotic regimes and much more. So if you’re curious about the fun, complicated detective work that goes into doing great investigative journalism- then this is the podcast for you. Hosted on Acast.

Thank you to Maeve McClenaghan and the team for a show that is always gripping in its presentation. You learn so much about the craft of investigative journalism while being riveted by the stories of the people who made it and the subjects of their reporting. Moreover, it introduces you to remarkable work far from your backyard. I always stop what I’m doing when a new episode comes out. Keep up the phenomenal work!

Just found this podcast. Love this approach that I find hard to describe. Maybe, honest? Not much of that honesty in journalism here in USA and,😉around the world concerning Covid, especially in the msm. Thank you! Also, the sound quality, the music, general production is top notch. All greatly appreciated, staying subscribed to hear new episodes🙏

In an age where fake news is everywhere, these investigative reporters bring us stories that are tirelessly researched and fact based, mind blowing and riveting . The amount of work that goes in to each story is incredible . The job is thankless and I am grateful for their passion, diligence and tenacity.Well done!
Fantastic journalism podcast

Excellent podcast for journalists and the public alike. If you want to go behind the scenes and learn how reporters get leads, talk to sources and produce their stories, this is it. Host is based in England with many of the episodes occuring in the USA too. My favorites episodes are: Ep. 29 Proof with CNN correspondent Ashley Fantz about the destruction of rape kits as police evidence, and Ep. 17 with Ken Armstrong and T. Christian Miller and their investigative reporting that has lead to the Netflix Special "Unbelievable." Highly recommended!! (I am a journalist)
YOU’RE BACK

Never leave us again!!! Your podcast combines the intrigue and tension of true crime podcasts (without the frustration of the unresolved ending), and current/ world events, in a niche-er way. We need you for entertainment and hope in this world that seems to be falling apart!!
Addictive peak into world of investigative journalism

I randomly rumbled upon this podcast and got hooked. Each episode takes you behind the scenes of investigative reporting, with a wonky appreciation for "how did they pull that story off." The host is charming and has a way of translating complicated (and often dark) stories into captivating episodes.
Fantastic and Underrated

Very compelling and well produced show... great guests, great mixing and great host. This show is criminally underrated and deserves more attention. Definitely worth listening to!
