What has happened to the world of podcasts this week? In the last seven days, seemingly all of the year’s most exciting pod-based releases have come at once. This week the Guardian launches its first true-crime podcast: a sobering, gripping six-parter that sees journalist Sirin Kale look at a decade-long campaign of stalking (listen to the trailer here). Plus, today marks the delayed release of Hoaxed – the followup to 2021’s podcast of the year, Sweet Bobby – a grimly fascinating tale of a satanic conspiracy theory that left terrified Hampstead residents forcing tracking devices upon their children.
