About this listen

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 Even The Rich, comes British Scandal. We tell the stories of the murkier side of the British elite, from Phone Hacking to Saville to Profumo who show us the reality of power, the price of pride and the failings of the great and good. Because sometimes the truth doesn’t set everyone free…

What could be an interesting and immersive podcast is completely ruined by wooden but rapid narration by Alice interspersed by terrible banter and even worse jokes by Forde.

This is really bad

British Scandals at their finest. I've had many weeks of listening and actually learning, too. Some reviewers have commented on Alice & Matt's banter ... I love it. I've thoroughly enjoyed almost every scandal.

LOVE IT!

I absolutely love British scandal. It is so funny and informative. Alice and Matt are really funny. Great listening for any time I have listened to it over and over again and it never gets old.

Absolutely love it.

Both funny and sensitive…. I’ve discovered so many interesting things listening to this, and had a laugh along the way. Can’t get enough.

My favourite podcast

This is terrible. They deal with incredibly serious, sad and interesting matter like teenagers laughing at their own belly buttons. Be professional and your podcast might just be taken seriously.

That my original review was deleted.
