Secrets. I’ve had a week of them. Three different podcasts, all attempting to solve forgotten mysteries. But these aren’t your everyday cold murder case shows. Instead, the secrets are wrapped inside wars (both cold and not so much); they weave around high-value art; they concern spies, the British establishment, the 1980s New York scene, a Khmer Rouge child soldier. The topics are far wider than usual, and the podcasts are trying to answer questions that others would rather weren’t even asked, let alone answered.
