Chasing the Story is the International Center for Journalists' podcast. In every episode, an outstanding journalist in the ICFJ network takes us behind the scenes to better understand how they conducted some of the world’s most important investigations. Reporters will explain how they chased - and landed - a major story, from following dark money across the U.S.-Mexico border to going undercover to expose sexual harassment in Nigerian universities.
