Gerald Posner is one of the most successful investigative writers in the world. He joins Andrew and Phil to discuss his personal history and beliefs and discusses bestselling books on subjects as varied as the assassination of President Kennedy (he wrote the definitive anti-conspiracy theory account, ‘Case Closed’) and the evil experiments of Nazi doctor Josef Mengele.

Our focus is the dark history of the Vatican bank, the subject of his bestseller ‘God’s Bankers: a history of money and power at the Vatican’. From the Bank’s WW2-era origins to the still-unresolved death of Roberto Calvi, found hanging under London’s Blackfriars Bridge, this is a fascinating tale of intrigue, murder and corruption. 

You can buy all of Geralds book - and many thousand more - in our own online bookshop where profits are shared between independent booksellers and podcasters.
