I'd like to recommend The Trojan Horse Affair. Its a limited series and a few years old now, but a a really interesting listen
Its about the scandal in the UK in 2013, where an anonymous letter 'exposed' an Islamist conspiracy in Birmingham schools to radicalise children.
The investigation in the podcast is helmed by two people; a rookie journalism grad who is muslim, and an experienced white journalist. The contrast in perspectives and emotion between them adds to it
And yeah it'll probably make you angry, and for those not in the UK it might key you in a bit on the tensions that do and don't exist with British Muslims, how they're viewed and treated by lots of parties here (including the Government)
Binged it and it was good.
