  • The Nazi 'Ratlines'
    Jun 4 2026

    How did some of the worst Nazi war criminals slip through the fingers of the Allies and end up living freely in South America, the Middle East, Africa, and even… the US?


    Reporter Darren Boyle has written a piece for the Daily Mail about the secret Nazi 'ratlines' - the covert networks that funnelled Hitler's henchmen out of Europe at the end of World War Two.


    He joins Deep Dive host Chris Pleasance to retrace these routes, exploring how the men did it, what became of them, and whether justice was ever done.

  • Iran War: The Looming Economic Crisis
    May 28 2026

    When the US began bombing Iran back in February, Iran's response was swift: close the Strait of Hormuz, the vital waterway through which roughly a fifth of the world's oil flows. America has since added its own blockade on top of that, reducing traffic through this artery of global trade to a trickle. At the time, economists warned this could lead to global economic meltdown, but three months later, things feel surprisingly normal. But, three months on, life has largely carried on: petrol is more expensive, energy bills are up, but there's been no economic meltdown. So have we dodged the bullet?


    Not quite, says economist David Lubin. Deep Dive Host Chris Pleasance is joined by the Chatham House senior research fellow to explain why the real pain is still coming, and why the UK is especially vulnerable. From rising bond yields and interest rate hikes to the spectre of fuel rationing, tax rises, and a potential US stock market crash, Lubin maps out what happens if America and Iran fail to do a deal - and why the longer the strait stays shut, the worse the shock will be to the global economy.

  • Keeping the Black Cab Rapist Behind Bars, with Carrie Johnson
    May 21 2026

    In 2009, John Warboys - the so-called black cab rapist - was convicted and jailed, believed to have attacked more than 100 women, making him one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders. Nearly twenty years later, ITV's drama Believe Me has brought his crimes back into the national conversation.


    Host Nicola Thorpe speaks to two of those survivors: Carrie Johnson, who has written about her experience for the Mail, and "Sarah", who has chosen to remain anonymous. Together, they describe what it took to keep Warboys behind bars - a crowdfunded judicial review that put them at risk of losing their homes if they lost - and the landmark changes to parole board transparency that their campaign helped bring about. This is a story about female friendship, and a justice and policing system that still has a long way to go.
