Raynor Winn’s memoir The Salt Path was a bestseller and literary phenomenon with millions of people captivated by this true story of financial ruin, terminal illness, and healing through nature. Raynor Winn has since published two more books and The Salt Path has been adapted for the big screen, starring Jason Isaacs and Gillian Anderson.


At its heart it is a simple tale, of a couple embarking on a 630 mile trek in the face of stark adversity. When faced with nothing, they chose to walk.


But when reporter Chloe Hadjimatheou received a tip-off that the memoir may not be the "unflinchingly honest" account it claimed to be, suddenly things began to unravel. And the questions, about what is and isn't true, began mounting.


How far can you bend the truth before it begins to break?


Episode 1 will be available to listen on Tuesday 13th January.

Multi faceted story of a catfished young woman who needs to forgive herself for falling into the psychopathic catfisher's web.

No accountability Catfisher

Well done and tastefully insightful! While the ability of someone to pull this off in modern times baffles me there are too many cases on record to dispute that it does, everyday.With podcasts like this, Catfish the Movie and the wildly popular MTV Show Catfish hopefully more and more people are becoming educated on this subject. Often on the TV Show the Catfish perpetrator is either unwilling to state motivation or seemingly unable for whatever reason. That just shows how truly sick and deplorable they really are.

I sincerely hope the UK Police Authorities take some legal action to hopefully give Kirat a senae of justice but I fear the Authorities will once again be a let down. The laws that Govern our socities are behind the times of these sorts of crimes and unfortunately often take way to long to catch up. Same as when computer or internet based offenses started trending but little could be done in terms of criminal charges. Today there are a plethora of laws covering computer crimes but it took precious time to make headway in the beginning. Hopefully Catfish types of Laws won't take so long but I'm not holding my breath.

My heart goes out to Kirat and I hope she once again finds in life the very happiness and peace her voice depicts and radiates on her radio show. As for the "Fake Bobby" my only desire for her and others like her in the world is to rot. Whether they rot one day in jail, in hell or in their personal lives, either or all is justified.Catfishing is a heinous crime that robs a victim of their emotional security and takes away pieces of themselves day by day. The journalist who worked on this podcast, Alexi Mostrous, and others have done amazing work here and I wish them all success in future endeavors.

Again, well done!

The quality of the production is exceptional. Fans of the film and TV show Catfish will find it a familiar, and often maddening, story.

Excellent podcast
