Because sometimes the truth doesn’t set&nbsp;everyone&nbsp;free… Listen to British Scandal on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen early and ad-free on Wondery+.

Matt Forde and Alice Levine sit down with her to discuss how she keeps the show on track, and what you can and can’t say about a live investigation. Plus, Alice finds out how much dirt she could publish on Matt without him taking her to the cleaners.
