The SCANDAL Mongers Podcast

With so many new revelations concerning the Jeffrey Epstein scandal we begin this episode with Andrew and Phil’s assessment of what it all means for Prince Andrew and his hopes of returning to public life (and what it may also mean for our Andrew’s book on the Prince!)


Top magazine editor and author Tina Brown then joins us from New York to discuss all things royal. Tina has had an incredible career running, amongst other things, Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and Talk. Some of the world’s best reporters have worked for her and she helped create a model for ambitious, high end and beautifully illustrated contemporary writing. Her books on the British royal family are impeccably sourced and packed with insights from real insiders, along with Tina’s own trademark ‘smarts’.


She tells Andrew and Phil where the various feuding factions of the Windsor clan stand in America and the wider world, and where she thinks King Charles is taking the family. And she delivers some typically sharp pen portraits of Andrew, Fergie, William, Kate, Meghan and Harry!


You can buy Tina's books - and many thousands more - at our very own bookstore, which profits shared between podcasters and independent booksellers.

Fergie’s Back & The Thorpe/Maxwell Scandals | Ep.48 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

It’s New Year’s Day 2024 and we’re starting the year with a double dose of scandal, as writer John Preston joins as our main guest. But first Phil and Andrew react to the surprising sight of Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, back at the heart of a royal family Christmas for the first time in decades. What does it mean for her, for her embattled husband Prince Andrew....and for our Andrew’s upcoming biography of them both?


John Preston is one of Britain's most successful true crime writers whose tragi-comic books about great British scandals have been hugely popular and formed the basis for some excellent TV dramatisations in recent years. He discusses his work with special reference to two of the most outrageous British political and business scandals of the 1970s and 80s. Jeremy Thorpe, Leader of the Liberal Party, is the subject of John's book ‘A Very British Scandal’, which deals with his role in a bungled plot to murder his former gay lover. Robert Maxwell, a politically powerful media tycoon - and father of Ghislaine Maxwell - had an equally colourful rise and fall...ending in a literal fall off a boat when his many shady business dealings began to unravel.


You can buy John’s books - and many thousands more - at our very own bookstore, which profits shared between podcasters and independent booksellers.

Post Office UPDATE & a 19th Century Royal Sex Scandal | Ep.50 | Scandal Mongers Podcast

We begin with the latest from the Post Office Scandal that we first covered with investigative journalist Nick Wallis 8 months ago. In recent weeks a powerful

ITV drama has made the behaviour of the Post Office - and the cruel treatment of its employees - front page news in the UK. It’s truly blood boiling!!


Then writer Neil McKenna joins Andrew and Phil to reveal a story of 19th Century sexual, political, royal and legal intrigue - the infamous ‘Cleveland Street Affair’ which shook

the British upper classes and prompted fevered speculation all around the world. Could it be that a senior member of the royal family was a patron of London’s most notorious gay brothel?


With incredible details of the society of this time - and the way that wealth and privilege could guarantee legal protection - Neil lays out all the details of a saga that’s as fascinating as it’s shocking.


You can buy Neil's books and other books by the authors we feature here in our own Scandal Mongers bookshop - along with thousands more.

Looking for the perfect gift for a special scandalous someone - or someone you’d like to get scandalous with? We’re here to help.
