Journalists Rebecca Thomson and Nick Wallis cover the ongoing Post Office Horizon IT scandal which led to the most widespread miscarriage of justice in UK legal history. Hundreds of people were wrongly criminalised, thousands lost money and when the Post Office and government realised what they had been doing, they covered it up. To date, no one has been held accountable. Made with thanks to Whistledown for their production support.

33: Ep 33 - The Stamp of Innocence
Nick and Rebecca interview Noel Thomas and Aled Gwyn Jôb, who with Sian Thomas have co-written a book about Noel's experience of being prosecuted by the Post Office for theft and false accounting.
The book is called The Stamp of Innocence (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CMD5VZCH/ref=sr_1_4). It has just been published and currently only available as an e-book from Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CMD5VZCH/ref=sr_1_4), but there are plans to make it available as a paperback, most likely early in 2024.
Noel has already published the Welsh language version of his story ("Llythyr Noel: Dal y Post (https://www.gwales.com/search_basic/)"), which you can buy in paperback from www.gwales.com (https://www.gwales.com/search_basic/) and of course, from all good Welsh language bookshops.
In the podcast Noel and Aled talk about the experience of putting the book together, read from both the Welsh and English versions and give their thoughts on the wider Post Office Scandal. Sian sadly had a sore throat so couldn't participate, but she set up the technology to make it all work in Ynys Môn/Anglesey.
