Pipeline

Hosted by Isabelle Stanley for The Crime Desk (Daily Mail Podcasts), Pipeline: Left to Die reconstructs the February 2022 disaster in which a group of professional divers were pulled deep into an oil pipeline off the Caribbean coast. The series digs into the lucrative contracts, cut corners and secretive political relationships that put them there in the first place, and asks who should be held responsible.

Our editorial verdict is "Must listen". It scores 9/10 on binge factor. The Crime Desk's investigation into four professional divers sucked hundreds of feet into a Caribbean oil pipeline in 2022 — and the failing safety standards that put them there.

Pipeline is ideal for: Listeners who enjoy following a single case from start to finish; Fans of original investigative journalism over retold news; Binge listeners who want something they can't stop at one episode; Listeners interested in British cases and the UK criminal justice system.

We recommend starting with Episode 1. As a serialized show, it's best to listen from the beginning of a season.

Pipeline is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify. Search for it by name on any of those apps.
