Dan Ashby & Lucy Taylor talk to Bethan Rhys Roberts
Toxic Chemicals Scandal in Wales: Inside the Investigation
– St Mary’s Church
Hear the eye-opening account of one of the world’s first ever whistleblowers on toxic chemicals – and a scandal that leads from a Welsh farm to the heart of corporate America.
Husband-and-wife duo Dan Ashby and Lucy Taylor are award-winning investigative journalists and the force behind the BBC’s Buried podcasts. When they come across confidential evidence from a crucial witness to the scandal, it leads them to an unlikely friendship with actor Michael Sheen… but they soon find themselves knee-deep in toxic chemicals and chasing down gangs, going all-out in pursuit of a question: could the chemicals be killing people today?
Hosted by veteran Welsh journalist Bethan Rhys Roberts.
