Top 29 British Podcasts

In a country obsessed with gossip, the great and the good fear one thing more than any other - scandal.

British scandals change the course of history. They bring down governments, overthrow the rich and cause the mighty to fall. Some are about sex, others about money. In the end, they’re all about power.

But often at the heart of a scandal, there are ordinary human stories. Stories of those caught up in the swirl of outrage.

From the creators of Business Wars, American Scandal and Ghost Story, comes British Scandal. Each week, hosts Alice Levine and Matt Forde delve into the murkier side of the British elite, from Phone Hacking to Profumo to the short-lived premiership of Liz Truss. Because sometimes the truth doesn’t set everyone free...

Bernie Katz was an institution in London Soho's club scene for over 30 years. Friends with the rich and famous, Bernie was the former front-of-house manager of Soho's exclusive Groucho club and the guy who could get anything done.

In August 2017, Bernie was found dead in his North London flat aged 49 under mysterious circumstances. There was an outpouring of love for Bernie. But what wasn't clear from the thousands of tributes was that in his final months, Bernie’s life had unravelled quickly, quietly and catastrophically. He was removed from his position at the Groucho Club, all the money from his private art collection was gone and he was being pursued by Albanian gangsters.

Who was the real Bernie Katz? And what led to his untimely death? In this three-part podcast series, journalist Mark Edmonds speaks to Bernie's close friends and the celebrities who knew him well to understand how Bernie became 'The Prince of Soho' and the demons he left behind.
