Where the money goes
- Research time. Each episode starts from the primary sources themselves: platforms, laws, official statements and on-the-record interviews, read in full.
- Translation. Many of the sources are not in English. Quotes are translated and the original language stays beside them.
- The archive. Every source is saved and checked against that copy before recording, so each line in an episode still links to what it came from.
