True crime podcasts are all the rage in today’s times. They dissect horrific tragedies of the world in a way that repulses the listeners while also gratifying them. Investigative journalist, Alexi Mostrous has downed this formula to the T as he dives into the world of lies, satanism and conspiracies. Mostrous gives an entertaining touch to an otherwise grim story in his latest podcast, Hoaxed.
The six episode-series sees Alexi investigate and bring forward a 2014 story from the British town of Hampstead. Hoaxed revolves around how a lie told by two children, forced by their mother, Ella Draper and her partner, destroyed the life of Ricky Dearman, their father and 175 others.
