Wondery to release its first UK originated podcast

Podcast publisher Wondery is to release its first ever UK-originated podcast, British Scandal later this month.

The series explores the stories, characters and critical questions arising on a journey through some of the biggest UK scandals.

Narrated by co-host of the award-winning podcast My Dad Wrote a Porno and ex-Radio 1 presenter Alice Levine, alongside writer, Absolute Radio presenter, and former political advisor Matt Forde, each season tells the story of a major modern-day scandal that not only rocked the UK but sent shockwaves around the globe.

Season One launches with a story of espionage, intrigue and speculation as Wondery explores the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian dissident who dared to take on the Kremlin and subsequently fled to the UK, to be granted asylum in 2000.

British Scandal is available everywhere including Apple podcasts, Amazon Music and Wondery+ from 27 April.
