The art of the audio investigation. Meet the authors of the DIG Awards 2025 podcasts

Devastating environmental contamination in the United Kingdom. The murky stem-cell business in Switzerland. Tours of the October 7 attacks in Israel. The secret real-estate empire of a Bangladeshi minister. The bloody grip of capitalism in Colombia. There is no topic that cannot be told through a journalistic podcast: this is what the finalists of the DIG Awards 2025 demonstrate. In this session, they will share what drove them to dig deeper in order to create their audio investigations, revealing to the Festival audience the hidden stories behind their outstanding work—including those that the recorder could not capture.
