City Slickers: Episode 240

Todays story takes us back to the heady days of the dot com bubble around the turn of the century. In this episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I look at the behaviour of some of those working in the media at this time. It is a real tale of winners, losers, luck and coincidence.
