Lauren Layfield introduces Joanne McNally Investigates... on the series recommendation show Your Next Podcast.
Twelve months ago Joanne McNally was a comedian with a love of conspiracy theories. Now, she's an intrepid investigative journalist who will stop at nothing to root out a story, and her latest assignment will thrust her into the world of international espionage, politics... and Furbys.
In the 1990s the Furby was the fuzzy friend that every kid wanted – a futuristic soft toy which could talk to you, learn from you, listen to you. But could they have been more than just toys? Were they, as the rumours claim, a listening device which threatened the safety of the world as we know it?
In her latest adventure, Joanne McNally sets off to discover the truth, telling the story of the Furby, its rise to prominence, and the technology behind it.
