- V proud of this one Sweet Bobby is my new @tortoise podcast investigation into what’s likely to be Britain’s worst-ever catfishing case It’s the story of a woman scammed for more than 10 years... by someone she never expected Ep1 out now! #sweetbobby pod.fo/e/f32ae
- See you in court isn't much of a threat to a judge. "I'll see you in your workplace where you tend to be most of the time."SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!
- Very excited to introduce #WhoTrolledAmber, a new 6-part series for @tortoise. It's my investigation into what happened to Amber Heard online. Was she the victim of an organised hate campaign? And if so, who was responsible? 1st 2 eps out on 27th Feb
- Extraordinary stat in @FT. Beijing is the world's most monitored city, with 470k cameras. London is 2nd, with 420k. Third place is Washington DC - with just 30,000 cameras. We're living in a surveillance duopoly.
- Can’t quite believe it but #SweetBobby is now the *Number 1* podcast in the USA 🇺🇸 Very proud of the whole team: @GaryJMarshall90, @claudiabromley, @basialcummings and everyone at @tortoise And of course @JustKirat - the star of the show.
- Turns out Johnny Depp and Saudi Arabia have some *seriously* intriguing connections. #WhoTrolledAmber lnk.to/WhoTrolledAmber
- Coming on Monday: a special @tortoise podcast. *Hunt for the Porn King* It’s about trying to find Bernd Bergmair, the secretive owner of MindGeek and Pornhub. His identity has never been revealed before now. Trailer below...
- Fascinated by the timing on this story, especially given it was first reported.... in 2008 🤔Johnny Depp kindly donated entire salary to Heath Ledger's daughter 👇 virginradio.co.uk/entertainment/… #HeathLedger #JohnnyDepp
- In the wake of the @guardian's excellent investigation into the royals, I spoke to a former head of the civil service about how the Queen is funded. He told me the system was a "lie" cooked up by ministers and Buckingham Palace to "hoodwink the public". tortoisemedia.com/2021/02/12/hoo…
- Adam Waldman, Johnny Depp's lawyer, seems more comfortable posting my email to him online than answering my questions about his work for the Russian state 🤷♂️“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” -Bob Dylan
- Hoaxed. The @guardian podcast of 2022. 🎉 @AlexiMostrous @tortoise @gemmanewby theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
