Coining It tells the astonishing true story of a Bitcoin glitch that made one man millions, but ended in ruin
Global, the Media & Entertainment Group, has today announced the launch of Coining It, a gripping six-part narrative podcast series that tells the extraordinary true story of James Parker, a man from a dingy flat in Blackpool who stumbled across a Bitcoin glitch that made him millions and changed his life forever.
Hosted by Lewis Goodall, presenter of the award-winning daily podcast The News Agents and Sunday with Lewis Goodall on LBC, Coining It follows Parker as he navigates instant wealth, the temptations it brings, and the devastating consequences that follow.
From the streets of Blackpool to luxury hotels in Dubai, Coining It is a rollercoaster tale of loyalty, greed, and the consequences of money that seems endless, until it isn’t.
With exclusive interviews with Parker’s friends, associates and the man who tried to catch him and unprecedented access to the police interrogation tapes, Coining It will give listeners the most detailed account of the story ever told.
The full six-part podcast will land on Global Player on Tuesday 30 September, allowing listeners to binge the whole series and hear the complete, true story of money, greed, and loyalty gone wrong.
“Coining It is one of those stories that sounds too wild to be true, but it happened. It’s about money, yes, but also about people, justice and morality- and when those last two things are out of sync. I can’t wait for listeners to hear the series.”
Lewis Goodall
Coining It is exactly the kind of story that listeners will want to binge in one sitting. It’s gripping, surprising, and almost unbelievable, yet entirely true.
With Lewis Goodall at the helm, this series shows the very best of what narrative podcasting can deliver.”
Vicky Etchells, Director of Podcasts at Global
