Journalist Frank Swain investigates those who want to reverse ageing to live forever in Buying Time. Plus: five of the best relaxing podcasts
What is it about conspiracies and the wealthy London suburb of Hampstead? One of last year’s finest podcasts, Hoaxed, looked at the terrifying movement attempting to convince people that a Satanic paedophile ring was operating in a leafy corner of north London. Meanwhile, this week sees the launch of Filthy Ritual, a new series from the podcasters behind RedHanded which explores an astonishingly prolific scammer/healer who used spurious claims of ancient wisdom to extract nearly £1m out of local residents – and keep her in luxury handbags. Two wild podcast tales of hoaxes hailing from the area in six months – will there be a third? For residents’ sakes, we hope not.
In slightly less worrying news, this week we’re also looking at the top shows to relax to. From soothing pub tales to mesmeric sonic voyages courtesy of Björk, there’s plenty of calming listens for you. Particularly good news, should you hail from a certain north London suburb.
