Copying Goalhanger’s playbook, Global have launched another in the ‘Agents’ podcast stable and this time they have pinched yet more presenter talent from the BBC in the form of sedentary stalwarts Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan.

If you like the mountains true crime content Wondery have previously released – and there’s so, so much of it – then you’ll like this offering, guessing by the tone of the trailer.
