Summary
In this bonus episode of Codename Badger, presenter Eugene Henderson and producer Andy Clark go behind the scenes of the podcast’s creation. Hear additional details from the investigation that didn’t make it into the main series. They discuss how they first uncovered the story of John Cottell, the challenges of researching a case that spanned more than 70 years, and how they shaped decades of mystery, deception, and evidence into a six part series. Plus, psychologist Dr Drew Curtis, an expert in lying and deception, explores how the falsehoods at the heart of the story were able to endure for so long, and why so many people believed them.
