Welcome to The Tip Off- the podcast where we take you behind the scenes of some of the best investigative journalism from recent years. Each episode we’ll be digging into an investigative scoop- hearing from the journalists behind the work as they tell us about the leads, the dead-ends and of course, the tip offs. There’ll be car chases, slammed doors, terrorist cells, meetings in dimly lit bars and cafes, wrangling with despotic regimes and much more. So if you’re curious about the fun, complicated detective work that goes into doing great investigative journalism- then this is the podcast for you. Hosted on Acast.

episode 27: Ep. 27 Mother
Ep.27 Mother
Lorna Tucker doesn’t think of herself as a journalist, more of a collector of stories. So years ago, when she stumbled on a story that needed to be told, she knew she wouldn’t stop until the truth came out.
This is how she helped to document the stories of several Native American women who had undergone forcible sterilisation in the USA.
Correction: Maeve mistakenly refers to former US president LBJ as Lyndon Boyd Johnson, it is of course Lyndon Baines Johnson. Apologies.
