Number 1: Guess who’s back! + Agatha’s Greatest Mystery | Ep.149 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
Yes, six years after MEGXIT, the dynamic duo are headed back to Britain and - whisper it softly - maybe a return to some royal duties too. But will bygones ever be bygones and what’s really going on behind the scenes? Then Laura Thompson returns to the pod to discuss her new book ELEVEN DAYS, the most detailed investigation into the mystery of Agatha Christie’s famous. ‘Disappearance’ ever undertaken. To write it Laura stepped into the shoes and followed the same routes that Agatha herself did. Her conversation with Phil is a real treat for any fan of Christie’s books (Laura is a super-fan) or anyone interested in a brain-stretching psychological puzzle. Laura’s book is available here... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eleven-Days-fascinating-mysterious-disappearance/dp/1835015735 Here’s information and extracts from Phil’s own book here.

Number 2: Professor Walter Mitty? Plus BIG PHARMA Scandals | Ep.148 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
Phil thought that the controversy over Professor Jason Arday - allegations of plagiarism and a somewhat inflated resume - was simply a sad story of lowering standards at his old University. But then it was revealed that the UK police got involved to investigate a senior education correspondent just for sending the Prof questions in an email. Now Phil think’s this is a full blown scandal, with much wider ramifications. Phil is then joined by his American chum Gerald Posner to talk about his groundbreaking investigative work on the power and importance of the Pharmaceutical industry. Did you know you could get heroin and cocaine by mail order in the age of the Wild West? And that’s only that start of a saga of - in Gerald world - greed, lies and poisoning. Gerard’s book is available here... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pharma-Greed-Lies-Poisoning-America/dp/1501151894 Here’s information and extracts from Phil’s own book here.

Number 3: Andrew Lownie Returns to Talk More Fergie and Andrew | Ep.144 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
Yes, Andrew is back once again with news of the paperback of his hugely successful book ENTITLED, which includes a new, long and scandal-packed chapter all about the astonishing events of the last 6 months. Andrew is at his feisty and funny best in this rather hair-raising interview with Phil. You can get the new book here - at our own bookshop!... https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/entitled-the-rise-and-fall-of-the-house-of-york-andrew-lownie/b66b23561541b2d1?ean=9780008775490&next=t There’s information and extracts from Phil’s own new book here... https://sites.google.com/view/1945thereckoning/home You can order his book on Amazon UK and Amazon Australia, India and NZ - and it is available all around the world as an e-book and an audio book... https://www.amazon.co.uk/1945-Reckoning-Empire-Struggle-World/dp/139971449X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=# ***We now have a Thank You button (next to the ’three dots’) for small donations that help support our work*** Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you’d like to get scandalous with?

Number 4: Britain’s Rogue Agent + Starmer’s Voice Coach Scandal | Ep.104 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
Phil reacts to the emerging story of a possible new British political scandal. Having come to power partly because Boris Johnson fell foul of Britain’s tough Covid rules, did our current Prime Minister break them too and, if so, should it even matter? Phil’s article from 2022 is also relevant here. https://thecritic.co.uk/im-done-with-po-faced-politicians/ Then writer James Crossland joins Phil to discuss his fascinating and exciting book about one of the most dramatic - and scandalous - British spy stories of all time. Sir Robert Bruce Lockhart was an impressive figure: a diplomat, intelligence agent, conspirator, journalist and propagandist who played a key role in both world wars. He was a man who charmed his way into the confidences of everyone from Leon Trotsky to Anthony Eden. A man whom the influential press baron Lord Beaverbook claimed ‘could well have been prime minister’. Lockhart placed himself at the centre of world changing event during the Russian Revolution - and very nearly died as a consequence. Yet he died almost forgotten and near destitute, a footnote in the pages of history. You can buy James' book, and all the books we feature on the podcast here in our special Scandal Mongers shop, along with thousands of others... https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/rogue-agent-the-troubled-life-and-dangerous-times-of-robert-bruce-lockhart-james-crossland/7624180?aid=12054&ean=9781783968046& Please follow James here... https://x.com/DrJCrossland ***We now have a Thank You button (next to the ’three dots’) for small donations that help support our work*** Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you’d like to get scandalous with?

Number 5: Opium! The British Empire’s Dirty Drugs Scandal | Ep.103 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast
This week Prof Alan Lester joins Phil to lift the lid on a little known - but certainly scandalous - slice of British imperial history - the Opium Wars. There’s much debate today about slavery and how much - or little - it contributed to the wealth of the great European empires. But much less is known about the role that Britain and other empires played in the hugely profitable opium trade, and the one-sided wars that were waged to stop Chinese emperors from banning it. It’s a fascinating tale of greed, opportunism and skulduggery in high places. You can buy Alan’s books, and all the books we feature on the podcast here, along with thousands of others... https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-truth-about-empire-real-histories-of-british-colonialism-alan-lester/7595887?aid=12054&ean=9781911723097& ***We now have a Thank You button (next to the ’three dots’) for small donations that help support our work*** Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you’d like to get scandalous with?
