Episode 302 - Grenfell Tower

LISTEN TO THE EPISODE

On 14th June 2017, a fire engulfed Grenfell Tower, a high-rise residential building in West London. 

72 people died, and the tragedy became one of the darkest days in recent British history.

But worst of all, the incident was completely avoidable. This is the story of how decades of government corruption and unbelievable corporate greed killed so many innocent people.

As part of our coverage of the Grenfell case, and to support those still affected today - we’re going to be donating a portion of our ad revenue from this episode to the Grenfell Foundation.
