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.

Search all you want but you may never find a podcast with better chemistry than this one. Informative, cheeky, and entertaining. Love this duo
So I just wrote a long review singing the praises of this podcast but I think I deleted it while trying to type too quickly. Hate that. But what I love is this podcast. Smart, fun/funny, pitch-perfect. Nothing voyeuristic. Every story touches on topics that go beyond the story itself. There’s always something meatier to chew on… universal topics like money and power, politics and fame, personal ambition, family, delusion vs reality, crime & punishment, justice & the law, etc. —- The only reason I subscribe to Wondery is to support this pod. And while I follow & listen to boatloads of podcasts, this is the only one for which I’ve written a review. (I suppose this reflects badly on me, but it’s meant to be praise for BritScan!) Thank you, BritScan team — researchers, writers, producers, sound mixers, et al — for this gem that you all created. I am already dreading the day you announce that the show has run its course. Not ready for that.
Only discovered this podcast last week and have devoured about 10 seasons (oops!). Charming hosts/narrators walk us through well-written and researched cases from history and add their own delightful insights. Just fantastic! Thank you!
I just finished the first four episodes and the story telling is the best I’ve heard. I have approximately 40 podcasts I listen to regularly and this is #1. The hosts are great. They have great chemistry. I’m trying to figure out if they are a couple. Must listen!
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.
