麻豆约拍

A trucker leaves a deathbed tape about an appalling crime. It leads two journalists into a criminal underworld. But what did the man in the tape know? His plea - dig it up.

In this 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 podcast series, investigative journalists Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor deep-dive into one of the worst environment crimes in UK history - the secret dumping of a million tonnes of waste near a city. They uncover missing documents, fears of toxicity and allegations of organised crime, and realise they've stumbled into something much bigger. As they pick at the threads of one crime, they begin to see others. Could Britain be the home of a new mafia, getting rich on our waste?
