Hoaxed

Hoaxed is a compelling investigative podcast that delves into the chilling true story of the Hampstead Satanic cult hoax, a fabricated accusation that spiraled into one of Britain's most damaging conspiracy theories.

The podcast distinguishes itself by not only recounting the events but also by rigorously investigating the origins of the lie, the mechanisms of its global spread, and the profound impact on its victims. It appeals to listeners fascinated by true crime, the psychology of conspiracy theories, the societal consequences of fake news, and the power of investigative journalism to uncover hidden truths and expose perpetrators. The show's style is a deep-dive narrative, offering a critical examination of how easily truth can be distorted in the digital age.
