Impact Podcasts
Impact podcasts create narrative investigative podcasts that shine a light on major crimes or scandals in communities covered by DC Thomson brands such as The Courier and The Press and Journal.
Impact’s first season, Hunting Mr X, centred on the story of former North Sea oil diver Julian Chisholm who orchestrated a £100m cocaine deal with the Cali cartel. It was shortlisted for best podcast at the UK Society of Editors’ Media Freedom Awards in 2023.
Season two - ’Vanished: The Arlene Fraser Murder’ - is also now available.
Follow investigative journalist Dale Haslam as he uncovers what really happened in Scotland’s biggest ever missing persons case.
In 1998, 33-year-old mum of two Arlene Fraser was at her home one minute - and gone the next.
The team involved in Impact includes reporters Dale Haslam and Brendan Duggan, Senior Audio Producer Morven McIntyre, and Special Projects Editor Cheryl Livingstone.
