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…

Maurice and Jane O'Keeffe of Tralee, Co. Kerry set up Irish Life and Lore, an educational and commercial organisation, to record and archive oral history in Ireland. Now it's time to share some of the best recordings with you, and allow you to listen to first hand accounts of pivotal moments in Ireland's national and social history.

We hope you enjoy listening!

The Interesting Bits is an attempt to delve into the stories of some of history’s underdogs – the forgotten majority who never became historical celebrities but played their part nonetheless. It is designed as an antidote to the ‘big’ narratives of wars and politicians which dominate history books and which suggest history has some overall point. It is here to tell the stories of the mad, bad, stupid, wonderful, odd and improbable things that happened to our ancestors. They have no greater meaning, no direction and no overarching theme beyond being worthy of note, perhaps even memorable and reminding us that the past was as daft as the present and the people of the past were as daft as us. That’s what actually links us.

Kom helt tæt på reality-stjernen Sidney Lee, når hans nærmeste for første gang frem og fortæller om Sidneys vej til berømmelse og om faldet fra tinderne.
Podcast-serien går i fire afsnit bagom berømmelsen, bandanaen og den selvbrunede hud og fortæller historien om en mand, der oplevede store op- og nedture, en Peter Pan-figur, der aldrig ønskede at blive voksen.
Fortællerstemmen i podcasten er genereret af kunstig intelligens baseret på Sidney Lees stemme. Hans familie er sikker på, han ville have elsket det. Sidneys genskabte stemme er baseret på gennemgribende research, udtalelser fra personer helt tæt på ham og Sidneys egne ord, fra da han levede.
