In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal. British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, they’re all about power. But often at the heart of a scandal, there are ordinary human stories. Stories of those caught up in the swirl of outrage. Who was really to blame for what happened? Why did they do it? And when all is said and done, did anything really change? From the creators of Business Wars, American Scandal and Ghost Story, comes British Scandal. Each week, hosts Alice Levine and Matt Forde delve into the murkier side of the British elite, from Phone Hacking to Profumo to the short-lived premiership of Liz Truss. Because sometimes the truth doesn’t set everyone free… Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of British Scandal ad-free right now. Join Audible today by downloading the Audible app.

This is my favorite history podcast!! The two hosts are not only great storytellers, they are hilarious! I literally laugh out loud every episode. Their banter is the best part of the show! Keep the episodes coming!
I’m obsessed with this podcast. The subjects, storytelling, and banter are all “chef’s kiss”. I’m on my way to hearing every single episode. Even the guests who stood in for Matt while he was out were fantastic! One of the best shows out there, period.
I love this podcast- it makes me laugh, and reconnects me to my British half. And I appreciate so much that it’s rarely triggering. Alice and Matt, please don’t quit this!
I'm usually not a big fan of the "Buddies Cracking Jokes" podcast format but in this case both hosts come across as professional entertainers who have a great rapport and are both genuinely clever. I enjoy the historical subject matter as well as the British pop culture references. An engaging and informative foray in to all things Blighty and Mighty!
I love this podcast, and new episodes dropping were among the highlights of my week. Now I can’t keep track of when a new series will appear, and am falling out of the habit of weekly listening. I think you’re going to lose listeners with this new format.
