Who was really behind the Lockerbie bombing? On 21 December 1988, a plane explodes over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people. A Libyan man, Abdelbaset al-Megrahi, is convicted. Despite a global investigation Megrahi's conviction, and the failed appeals that followed, are still tainted - for some - with doubt and conspiracy theory. Myles Bonnar wants to find out why. Now, almost four decades on; fresh evidence and a new trial. The alleged bomb maker Abu Agila Masud is in custody, with a trial expected to begin any day. He denies any involvement in the Lockerbie bombing. Journalist Myles Bonnar (Dead Man Running, Shiny Bob) picks apart the original investigation and finds himself in a world full of militant groups, top secret files and grieving families who will never give up on the pursuit of the truth. Intrigue: 'Jaw-dropping', 'gripping', 'bingeable,' 'thrilling' - dramatic true stories and investigations that reveal how the world really works.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T14:21:23.187433+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intrigue-6878178"},"episode":{"title":"Ransom Man: 5. 635 Years of Suffering","slug":"ransom-man-5-635-years-of-suffering","published_at":"2026-02-17T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intrigue-6878178/ransom-man-5-635-years-of-suffering","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/intrigue-6878178","url":"http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002q871","audio_url":"http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/redir/version/2.0/mediaset/audio-nondrm-download-rss/proto/http/vpid/p0mvt473.mp3","summary":"Within a month of the Vastaamo data breach, Tomi Haustola, a Finnish stand up comedian, is on stage making jokes about it. But Tomi himself is one of the thousands of victims. He tells Jenny how he went to Vastaamo because he was burnt-out and anxious and couldn’t tell anyone - except his therapist. When he discovers a hacker had stolen his therapy notes, Tomi decides to share his story with the audience. Many of them are victims themselves. But he doesn’t expect a letter to arrive for him, years after the hack, inviting him to view the trial of Julius Kivimäki, the man authorities suspected of being the extortionist ransom_man. Bringing the case against him is the Prosecutor Pasi Vainio. Kivimäki is defended by the lawyer who has been with him since the beginning - Peter Jaari.
