The Tip Off

The Tip Off is an independent podcast created, produced and hosted by Maeve. In each episode she takes you behind the scenes of some of the best investigative journalism from recent years, hearing from the journalists behind the work as they tell us about the leads, the dead-ends and of course, the tip offs.

There are car chases, slammed doors, terrorist cells, meetings in dimly lit bars and cafes, wrangling with despotic regimes and much more. If you’re curious about the fun, complicated detective work that goes into doing great investigative journalism- then this is the podcast for you.
