Seems the interview was a phone call between Heidi Blake and Milbank carried out on English soil!
Does Heidi work for the New Yorker? If not, how did the tape recording end up in the USA?
The new Yorker is an American Magazine Snow, it was based on New York City Cultural life, I think it ventured out into investigative Journalism later in the 90s or later in the 2000? I’ve not read too much but they did a piece on Lucy Letby, and I think it got banned in this Country. I think the age of the internet changed a lot of things in the News and Journalistic industry Snow.
There’s been several Miscarriage of justice cases that the Journalistic investigation industry took off with in the USA, namely making a murderer then you had the staircase and the West Memphis three, looks like the New Yorker is tapping into the UK with Letby and Bamber.
I think Heidi lives in London Snow, but works for the New Yorker, she visited Phil Walker at his home on the South Coast somewhere. You don’t have to live in New York to work for the New Yorker Snow, everything is done through the internet now days anyway, a lot of these writers will use AI as well for research
The Trouble with Podcasts, they’re easily edited, your not seeing the person and when listening to the Audio of the phone call you don’t hear it in its entirety, so they cut it off and move it on when ever it suits if that makes sense. That’s why it never went to the CCRC in my opinion.
The BBC are a classic example (I’m not saying the New Yorker did anything like this) the Panarama team spliced two different clips of Trumps Speech together to make it look something else.
Anyway hope this helps Snow 👍
