In this podcast you'll hear an emotional interview with Tom Hayes - a city trader who was fighting to clear his name for a decade.

He was jailed in 2015 for manipulating so-called Libor interest rates, used for loans between banks. He spent five-and-a-half years behind bars.

In July 2025 the Supreme Court quashed his conviction and now he is free to restart his life.
