Acerca de esta escucha

When investigative journalist Shiv Malik was betrayed by a source he considered a friend, he spent almost fifteen years tracking down the truth about what happened. The Messenger is an extraordinary audio tale of friendship, lies, betrayal, terrorism, the destruction of a marriage, and the insidiousness of fake news long before it went viral. In the wake of the 7/7 London bombings, Shiv Malik began working for the BBC to discover how young South Asian men like him had turned into suicide bombers. That's when he met notorious Islamist spokesman Hassan Butt, who told Shiv that he'd repented and left al-Qaeda. Hassan wanted Shiv to write his biography, and Shiv thought he'd found the biggest story of his life—a story that would help to change the world for the better. Little did he know that Hassan Butt would almost destroy his life. Over the next three years, Shiv and Hassan became friends, until one day there was a knock on the door from police investigators and everything fell apart. In eight revealing episodes, featuring Shiv's own audio recordings of his conversations with Hassan, Shiv searches for where he can place his trust: in the reams of evidence, in the cops, in a terrorist who swears he's changed, or in a friend who has no one else to turn to?

What applicability to all people in today's social media and mainstream media world. I'm amazed that Shiv revealed the level of self honesty he did. That's what I liked so much about this podcast. Well worth listening to.

A reporter is conned by his subject, or was he? The reporter wants to know why he fell for the con, but was he conned? At the end, the questions remain, the reporters family life and career are in shambles because the subject of his reportage conned him. But was he conned? You decide.

Wow! Not what I was expecting at all!

It’s sad so many lives have been ruined by the biggest lie of all “Religion”

A gripping story

This was a great story describing the human experience. The concept of using actual recordings to enhance the story is great, IF the recording is discernible & of even modest audio quality.

Intriguing non-fiction (or is it)

Wow, definitely not what I was expecting. This story was well worth signing up for a free trial of Audible. Episode after episode, I just wanted to hear more. I wanted to know what happened. “Was the reporter scammed? Was he conned?” Questions your left with, after listening. Awesome work.

I just wanted to hear more.
