Our take on Call Bethel podcast

Call Bethel is The Telegraph's new podcast about child abuse. It focuses on tales that involve the Jehovah's Witnesses. This podcast follows a year-long hunt into the Jehova's Witnesses by the Telegraph's team. Featuring brave whistleblowers, Call Bethel follows a long chain of data exposing all these events chronologically. The Telegraph journalists tell this story of heinous acts by individuals purporting to have the bests interests of children sensitively and accurately. Call Bethel gives child abuse the special attention it has been lacking in the mainstream media.
