Audible has released the latest series of its award-winning podcast British Scandal, now as an Audible Original, The Post Office Scandal.
The four-part series explores the story of Jo Hamilton, who took over a rural Post Office in Hampshire in 2003.
Initially excited to run a thriving village hub, Jo soon encountered repeated cash shortfalls after the introduction of the Horizon accounting system. Accused of theft and publicly shamed, the crisis devastated her health, finances, reputation and business.
Years later, Jo met Alan Bates and uncovered the alarming truth: she was far from alone. Hundreds of sub-postmasters across the UK had been falsely accused, leading to ruined lives.
Together, Jo and Alan fought to expose a decades-long institutional cover-up that reached into the heart of the Post Office, highlighting corruption and systemic failure within the criminal justice system.
The final episode features an interview with barrister Paul Marshall, who played a crucial role in revealing the truth behind Horizon and risked his career in the process.
Hosted by Alice Levine and Matt Forde, British Scandal is a three-time British Podcast Award-winning series that tells stories of high-profile cases and shocking wrongdoing in the UK.
British Scandal: The Post Office Scandal is available now as an Audible Original, with all four episodes available on Audible (membership may be required).
Episode one is also available on all podcast platforms, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly.
