Introducing: Poison


Listen Later

Twenty two-year-old Tom Parfett took his own life in October, 2021. His grieving father’s search for answers leads investigative journalist James Beal from a quiet British town to a freezing carpark in Canada, where he tracks down a man allegedly selling death online.


In this award-winning series, James Beal uncovers the global trade in a lethal substance, searches for the man alleged to be at its centre, and exposes the systemic failures that allowed it to thrive.


WARNING: this series contains discussions about suicide. If you or someone you know has been affected or needs to talk to someone, please get in contact with the Samaritans online https://www.samaritans.org/ or call them for free on their 24-hour helpline 116 123.
