Death in Westminster - who's hiding behind London's empty mansions? (Trailer)
Introducing DEATH IN WESTMINSTER, a new four-part investigation from Novara Media and Planet B Productions. Featuring Nick Bano, author of Against Landlords (Verso Books, 2024). In 2018, a man named Gyula Remes died just metres from the buildings that govern Britain, on a street surrounded by unimaginable wealth and rows of vacant properties. His death should have been impossible. Instead, it was treated as inevitable. How could this happen on Parliament’s doorstep, at the centre of one of the richest cities on the planet? In this podcast, Kojo Koram – author of Uncommon Wealth – traces Gyula’s story, asking how someone could die of homelessness in the shadow of British power, while so many nearby homes stood empty and untouched. But asking that question quickly takes him far beyond Westminster’s pavements. Death in Westminster begins with one life lost but soon spirals outward – from a tube station tragedy to offshore tax havens, from imperial history to modern finance. It’s a story about secrecy, stolen wealth, and how Britain’s imperial afterlife has turned its capital into a global money laundering machine – leaving people like Gyula in its wake. Listen now on novaramedia.com, or search Death in Westminster, wherever you get your podcasts.

Overshoot: Navigating a world beyond 1.5°C (trailer)
Today we're posting a trailer for OVERSHOOT, an exciting new series forthcoming from our friends over at Planet B Productions. OVERSHOOT is hosted by Laurie Laybourn, author of Planet on Fire: A Manifesto for the Age of Environmental Breakdown, published by Verso Books. In 2015, the world agreed to limit global heating to 1.5°C. Ten years later, temperatures are spiralling beyond this and climate chaos is wreaking havoc across the globe. In this major four-part series, host Laurie explores how the world ended up here and uncovers the huge misconceptions and the high-tech fantasies that hold us back. And we meet people with the ideas to navigate what comes next, from protesting pensioners to climate negotiators, Pacific islanders to pre-eminent scientists. Listen and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. For essays and bonus content, sign up at overshootpod.com or follow @overshootpod on social media. Writer and presenter: Laurie Laybourn Researcher: Ben Shread-Hewitt Production coordination: Daniel Norman Script consulting: Daniel Trilling Sound design and mix: Ben Heyderman and James Fox Original music by Haniell With special thanks to Aaron Thierry, Mirte Boot, James Dyke, Henry Throp, Stephen Backhouse
