Investigative Texts Can Be Boring. But the Stories of How They Were Made Are Not

On the hunt for new series ideas? Watch out! The true-crime podcast series Protagonista brings the reporters who became at the centre of their story. The agitators, exposing the truth and willing to fight for it.

The podcast interviews will tell the fails, challenges, drama, and absurdities behind the biggest investigative stories in Europe, and why they matter. Reporters from the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, ICIJ, Bellingcat and publications across the continent take us through the story through their eyes: how they got caught up in exposing powerful businessmen while taking care of the dying grandma, investigating corrupt companies while falling in love with a colleague – whilst exposing ugly truths about corruption, devastation and organised crime in Europe.
