Scams are no longer run by individuals. Instead, the bulk of scams now come from a network of high-security compounds in SE Asia, where an estimated 400,000 people live in slavery and are forced to run scams 24/7. In this multi-part video podcast, we'll dive into the terrifying world of 'scammer farms'. We'll meet people who've been trapped and escaped — and others who are desperately trying to rein in this exploding new business model.

What happens when you confront the darkness within?

Journey with the Bear is a raw and deeply personal podcast that follows filmmaker and former police officer Ken Matheson as he embarks on a solo kayak expedition through the Great Bear Rainforest. Haunted by memories of loss, violence, and inner turmoil, Ken confronts his shadow self — the part of him shaped by trauma, grief, and fear.

In this journey, the bear becomes more than a symbol — it’s a guide. In Indigenous traditions, the bear embodies strength, introspection, and healing. Like the bear emerging from hibernation, Ken’s path is one of awakening — facing his buried pain, embracing his capacity for both great violence and profound compassion, and learning to walk forward with that duality in balance.

Through powerful storytelling, Ken weaves together his past experiences — the death of a child in his arms, the tragic aftermath of a life taken too soon, and the adrenaline-fueled clarity that once defined him. As he navigates the wild coast, he faces the challenge of embracing his inner darkness — not to suppress it, but to learn from it and find strength in the process.

Journey with the Bear explores themes of resilience, healing, and self-discovery. It’s a testament to finding balance between strength and vulnerability, rage and compassion, shadow and light.

Join Ken as he paddles into the unknown, seeking peace with his past — and himself. my very interesting podcast

Clare Balding and guests share inspiring conversations while walking in the great outdoors.

Fresh air and nature, wonderful views and uplifting chat, each week Clare hikes in a different part of our glorious countryside. Walking side by side is the perfect way to cover a huge range of subjects: literature, art, wildlife, nature, taking on personal or physical challenges, dealing with grief, confronting preconceptions about the kind of people who love to ramble.

The conversations are as varied as the landscapes we find ourselves in. If there's a recurring theme, it's the accepted truth that 'solvitur ambulando' - 'it is solved through walking': The sense of wellness, the benefits to mental health, easy companionship, or sometimes just the sense of solitude that being alone in nature brings.

Few things are better than going for a good walk. That's what we aim to share each week on Ramblings with Clare Balding.

Introducing... Hoaxed, the new series from Alexi Mostrous and Tortoise, who brought you Sweet Bobby.

In 2014, two children told police a shocking story: that they were being abused by a Satanic cult; a cult headed by their father and by parents and teachers at their school in the wealthy London suburb of Hampstead. The story was a lie. But on the internet, that didn't matter. 

Hoaxed is an investigation into one of Britain's most serious-ever conspiracy theories. A story about a modern-day Satanic panic; about the victims whose lives were destroyed and about the conspiracists who spread the lie around the world. Oh, and it's about our hunt for the perpetrators - the people who forced the kids to lie - the ones who started it all. 

All 6 episodes are available now to listen for free. You can listen to the full series ad-free and get access to exclusive bonus content by downloading the Tortoise audio app or subscribing to Tortoise+ on Apple podcasts. Or join Tortoise as a member, where you can access more of our reporting, live events and support our work. Just visit the Tortoise website and use the code Alexi50 for half price membership.
