This isn't our usual show, but it’s a conversation every parent needs to hear.

We’re sharing a special episode from The Briefing podcast where Matt sits down with Sacha Barbour Gatt to tell a deeply personal story: the moment he realised his son was being targeted by an online predator.

It’s a tough listen, but an incredibly important one. Matt opens up about the "sextortion" scam that hit his family, what he wishes he’d done differently, and the red flags we all need to watch out for.
