A new podcast tells the extraordinary true story of James Parker, a man from Blackpool whose life was transformed after he uncovered a Bitcoin glitch that made him millions.
From Global, Coining It is hosted by LBC and The News Agent presenter, Lewis Goodall. It follows Parker’s journey from a dingy flat in Blackpool to luxury hotels in Dubai. Along the way, it explores themes of greed, loyalty, and the dangers of sudden wealth.
The podcast draws on exclusive interviews with Parker’s friends and associates, as well as the man who tried to catch him. It also includes never-before-released police interrogation tapes, offering unprecedented insight into the case.
Goodall said: “Coining It is one of those stories that sounds too wild to be true, but it happened. It’s about money, yes, but also about people, justice and morality – and when those last two things are out of sync. I can’t wait for listeners to hear the series.”
Vicky Etchells, Director of Podcasts at Global, added: “Coining It is exactly the kind of story that listeners will want to binge in one sitting.
“It’s gripping, surprising, and almost unbelievable, yet entirely true. With Lewis Goodall at the helm, this series shows the very best of what narrative podcasting can deliver.”
All six episodes of Coining It will be available on Global Player from 30 September.
