Darknet Diaries tells its stories through interviews with people who were there and the podcaster's own experiences and research. I am not sure I would call the account 'factual', but he makes his best effort to get as close to the source as possible. More like investigative journalism.
In any case, not sure I agree with the attitude regarding reading a transcript. Does everyone expect the "facts" (whatever those actually are) to be handed to them on a silver platter or something? No juice no squeeze...
- vmception 5y agoWhen most of these events can be explained in two and a half minutes but the podcast has to stretch it for hours with expose’, yes.
- h0l0cube 5y agoI recall the actual discovery process by security consultant was interesting, revealing, and perhaps even instructive to anyone who might take an interest in infosec. There also emerged a palpable sense of danger to the main protagonist as the story progressed. I don't think a dry textual synopsis would convey those details as well as the podcast format does
- tomc1985 5y agoBecause it's storytelling. I'm sure you can look up the 'facts' on Google News like everyone else. But personal experiences don't lend well to such summarizations
- vmception 5y agoIts funny we wind up debating this instead An alternate way of including people un this format is to tell them what happened and then tell them there is a captivating version they can watch For example the Costa Concordia incident is easy: ship sank off the coast of Italy, disaster. But I watch an hour long video about it for the sensation.
