Can I tell you a secret? – trailer

More ways to listen

We wanted to tell you about another Guardian podcast series from our colleagues in the UK.

It starts the same way … a seemingly innocent message from someone who appears to be a young woman: ‘Can I tell you a secret?’ But as this six-part investigative podcast explores, people are rarely their true selves online – and one man took it much further. What happened when this cyberstalker wreaked havoc across the internet and ruined people’s lives for more than a decade? And why did he do it?

Can I Tell You a Secret? is a Guardian podcast series about obsession, fear and the lives we lead online.
