Introducing: Sad Oligarch

Hi, Q Clearance Fans! Take a listen to the trailer for Sad Oligarch - an investigative podcast series that looks into the many Russian oligarch deaths of 2022.

About the show: Since January 2022, more than a dozen of Russia's wealthiest businessmen have been found dead. One was poisoned with frog venom. One was found hanged on a handrail with his wife and children killed with an axe. Several fell out of high windows. Most of the deaths are suspicious. Russia says most of them were coincidental suicides resulting from depression. We have a theory though that something much darker is afoot.

Sad Oligarch is a modern true crime style investigative podcast series that looks into the many Russian oligarch deaths of 2022, unravelling a dark tale of Kremlin corruption and Russian political influence across the world.
