@overcastfm release notes for ios18.1 “Fixes an issue in Podcasts where unplayed episodes are marked as played” You been moonlighting for friends in Cupertino? 😅. Anyway, glad to say Overcast feels back on an even keel, and in the best possible way, it just feels this is the way it’s always been.

Nick Wallis was one of the first journalists to regularly report the emerging scandal of the sub-postmasters prosecuted and sacked from their jobs by the Post Office.

As a young local journalist it was Nick who brought the story to the BBC. Now he's made a gripping 21-part podcast looking back at the scandal, explaining the terrible effects on the accused postmasters and the recent developments. It's an essential listen.
