Hey, it's Alexi here. I'm the investigations editor at Tortoise. Three years ago we released our investigative podcast Sweet Bobby. It's the incredible story about a young woman whose life was almost destroyed after she became entangled in a sophisticated catfishing scam. Until, of course, she discovered the truth. The story traveled around the world, topped the charts, and now, very excitingly, it's become a documentary.

The film lands on Netflix on October the 16th, which gives you just enough time to go back and catch up on our original podcast. Or if you haven't listened to it before, well now's your chance. You can listen to all six episodes wherever you get your podcast. And to listen to our exclusive bonus QA episode with Kirat, the woman at the centre of this incredible story, just subscribe to Tortoise Plus on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify or become a Tortoise member.
