Initially hired as an undercover operative to infiltrate an environmental campaign group, Moore is tasked with extracting information for his corporate employers. His story takes an unexpected turn when he gradually becomes sympathetic to the cause. Host Ceri Thomas interviews Moore and those caught up in his lie to unravel the dynamics of Moore’s double life. Neither the activists nor his employers knew the complete truth until 2016, when Moore was unexpectedly exposed. No longer trusted by either side, Moore loses everything.

For listeners fascinated by investigative journalism and true crime, Into the Dirt will offer more than just an entertaining tale of espionage. It is an exploration of personal transformation, ethical dilemmas, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our actions. By presenting multiple perspectives and refusing simplistic moral judgements, the podcast grapples with complex questions about trust, betrayal, and the line between right and wrong.

WHERE TO LISTEN- You can find Into the Dirt on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Acast, and Audible.
