    Ep. 1: The Birth of The Dark Web
    Feb 8 2018

    [Contains explicit content] It's called the Dark Web, Dark Net or Deep Web but what is it? What makes this internet underground — rife with drugs, sex, and crime — possible? How do you even access the Dark Web?

    Geoff White, Channel 4 News's former Technology Reporter, has been looking into its shady origins and reveals why the U.S. Navy invented it in the first place.

    Ep. 2: The Untold Story of The Dark Web
    Feb 8 2018

    [Contains explicit content] The Dark Web's first success story was a drugs 'eBay.' Vendors sold narcotics and pharmaceuticals directly to each other freely and anonymously. Then the FBI shut it down and unmasked its owner, Ross Ulbricht. The sting operation was ridiculous.

    Geoff White, Channel 4 News's former Technology Reporter, speaks with a key player at the heart of the takedown. His story is astonishing.

    Geoff White, Channel 4 News's former Technology Reporter, uncovers the mystery of Bitcoin — and speaks to the Royal Mint about this potential competitor currency.

Geoff White presents an excellent coverage of this intriguing topic with a superb balance of interviews. The technical detail and actual experience of people in the field give it credibility and my full attention! Well worth the time to hear this through, and inspiring to learn more. With appreciation for the effort to create this! Jennifer Elwin

I was fascinated by the first chapter. I can't believe we haven't heard of this before! Highly recommend to anyone who uses social media and or owns are mobile. Very revealing and useful information.

I really enjoyed this, the topic was interesting. I liked how White starts at the beginning and explains what the dark web is, and then explores the various things it is, and could be, used for. The question of freedom and anonymity online is a complicated one. In countries like the UK and Australia, where I have lived, we have the freedom to use the so called bright web without restrictions (provided your endeavours are legal ones). It's easy for us to think the dark web is only needed for criminals. There are times when anonymity has positive benefits though, some if which are discussed here.

I thought White did a great job of covering a large topic, and keeping the information accessible to those who don't have a tech background. I'll definitely be looking for more podcasts by Geoff White to listen to
