About The Overturn

We’re taught to believe that our justice system is fair. That it’s almost impossible for an innocent person to go to prison for a crime they didn't commit. But what if that isn’t the case? From teenagers jailed over group-chat messages, a former police officer alleging he’s been stitched up by colleagues, to four men claiming a corrupt undercover police sting led to their terrorism conviction, The Overturn brings their fight for justice to the forefront. Produced by Marnie Duke. Executive Producers are Jon Robins & Calum McRae. The series is supported by The Future Justice Project.

"Fighting a miscarriage of justice is the most herculean task imaginable"

In a bonus round-up episode, Marnie Duke talks to the human rights lawyer and criminal appeal specialists Glyn Maddocks KC and Dr Jon Robins, executive producer on the series – and journalist and lecturer in criminology at Brighton University. They talk about where the stories covered in the series came from and why they are so difficult to resolve – if they ever are. They highlight the failures in the justice system and pay tribute to the heroism of campaigners who dedicate their lives to getting justice in a system where there so often is none. Glyn and Jon are directors of the Future Justice Project which sponsored the series.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
