    524 - The British Post Office Scandal
    Nov 5 2025

    Between 1999 and 2015, over 900 British subpostmasters were convicted of theft, fraud and false accounting. The thing is, they were all innocent and were the victims of faulty accounting software. This is an astonishing story of a year's long cover up and extreme miscarriage of justice, and the fourth most voted topic of Block 2025!


    This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 08:11 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
