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

Binged the Post Office ITV drama #MrBatesVsThePostOffice - outstanding and very emotional. Highly recommend watching this Panorama doc too, if you want to see the real Jo, Noel and all. It's also brilliant. Maddening and moving. From 2022 and on iplayer > #PostOfficeScandal.
Find out more about the most widespread miscarriage of justice in British legal history and the lives that were devastated by it . Panoramaโs The Post Office Scandal is available to watch on @BBCiPlayer now.
