My latest podcast lauches today... Fraudacious. An investigative deep-dive into a whole host of allegations about a mysterious wealthy woman who lives between Monaco and Mayfair
It comes after a year spent working with a top team at Novel Audio (in association with BBC Studios)

Love how podcasts have a life of their own. Always nice to be reminded of this story - it was a wild ride

[Antonio Arch @antonioarch]

I've JUST discovered Fake Psychic on Spotify. I found and bought Keene's book thirty years ago at an estate sale. Glad that it's getting the BBC treatment. Five stars!

[Vicky Baker @vickybaker]

@antonioarch Ah thank you! So glad you came across our podcast! Psychic Mafia is quite the book. I couldn't believe how much of it turned out to be true, and the turns the story took after its publication

[Vicky Baker @vickybaker]

@HannahPrice___ You did it! 🙌

This is a jawdropping story. Been waiting on the verdict so the TV slot kept moving, but it'll be on BBC Two at 8pm. Unusual slot for Panorama. Do watch. Also on iPlayer now. The Crime Bosses who Terrorised a City... https://t.co/msWeaKenj2
