From elite hackers to how psychedelics can heal trauma: hot new podcasts for summer


Listen Later

This week, we're listening to the best new summer releases – starting with a riveting investigative podcast from the UK.
The Lazarus Heist podcast charts the cybercrime exploits of an elite team of hackers allegedly connected to North Korea – a charge the secretive state denies. Season one told the story of the group's malware attack on Sony Pictures, among others, and the recently released season two picks up on what the hackers did next.
And this time, there's a Canadian connection – a dark web fraudster called Big Boss is one of the North Korean hackers' international accomplices, who helped to carry out so-called jackpotting heists – whereby the hackers took control of ATM machines located across 28 countries, and stole some $14 million dollars in just a couple of hours.
Plus, can psychedelics help to heal racial trauma?
Truth Be Told is an award-winning podcast that explores Black liberation. The show is back for a fifth season. This time around, host Tonya Mosley looks at "the psychedelic renaissance in Black America."
When paired with therapy, it's believed psychedelics can help to heal racial trauma, whether it's diagnosed PTSD or the kind of trauma that comes from being Black in a racist world.
But a history of racism in healthcare along with the war on drugs has made it difficult for people of colour to explore psychedelic-led therapies.
All that and more on this week's show.
Featuring:
