Hello everyone, Lewis Goodall here.

Hope you enjoyed coining it.

And maybe you also checked out filthy ritual.

If you haven't, what is taking you so long?

Both series are right here.

And I've got some big news.

Another series is dropping in this feed, which I think you're going to love. It is another

core cut of a story. It's one of those scams that is so unbelievable, so jaw-dropping,

you almost admire the nerve, sound familiar, until, of course, you see the damage done. It's

brought to you by the incredible Alice Levine, who is with me now to give you a sneak peek. So, Alice,

handing the bat on over,

what can you tell us about the series? Yes, thank you for having me in the feed. Thank you for hosting me. This is obviously for people who enjoy stories that have twists and turns and

take on forms that you couldn't have expected from episode one by the time you reach the end of

the series. This on one level is a kind of

funny, absurd tale about a man who betrays his best friend. But then when you zoom out, this is actually

a story about a man who takes in militaries and governments around the world. He's a master

criminal. When it first crossed my desk, maybe a year before I started

working on it, I couldn't believe I'd never heard about it before. And then I couldn't stop thinking about it until the point that we started recording it. And I think people are just going to have their jaws on the floor. I mean, it is a breathtaking story. I mean, it's always the way with these things you can't believe no one else has told. You always are just like checking to make sure no one else has done it

because you can't quite believe, right?

That no one has.

Yeah, I mean, there's bits and pieces out there on the internet, don't know if you've heard of the internet, but like nobody has really taken this deep dive and that's what's so great about these shows that you've got the time to really get into the detail and the detail is honestly unbelievable. So can you tell us the name? Drum roll. If I told you the name, I'd have to kill you. And it's explosive lies. Oh, right. Okay, right. Well, that sounds absolutely brilliant. I will definitely be listening. If you haven't already, follow this feed to find out more in the coming days and some more really exciting news. This feed is now going to be the home to all of our most unmissable podcast series.
