Inside Counter Terrorism – podcast season 2 out now
The chart-topping podcast series from Counter Terrorism Policing is back for a second series, lifting the veil on the work of Counter Terrorism Policing. The first new episode landed on Thursday 12 March.
Inside Counter Terrorism Policing delves into the lives and careers of the incredible staff and officers working to protect the nation from terrorist and national security threats, and goes behind the scenes of some of the roles they do.
So much of what they do can’t be talked about publicly. But in season two, we're going behind the scenes with men and women who work across Counter Terrorism Policing, from those working in EOD, and in hostile locations overseas, to the legal teams, intelligence officers, and people managing terrorists in the community.
They’ll talk about the careers that led them here – the good stuff and the bad – and share their advice about working in policing.
For some of the people featured in this series, it’s the first time they’ve spoken publicly about their work. To make sure they can do so safely, their identities have been protected.
More episodes to come
Series one ranked in the Top 20 UK True Crime podcasts on Apple and Spotify and made it into the top 5% of podcasts worldwide, according to industry data.
There will be five brand new episodes to listen to. A new episode will be available on Acast, Spotify and Apple every Thursday:
• Episode 1 Clara: From hostage negotiator to hostile environments
