The Fairfax Files Podcast

Power. Corruption. Accountability.

Welcome to The Fairfax Files, a high-stakes interview series that pulls back the curtain on the world’s most significant investigative files. Hosted by Michael J. Hershman—former Watergate investigator, co-founder of Transparency International, and a global authority on risk—this channel explores where systemic vulnerability meets human nature.

Drawing on 40+ years of experience across 50 countries, we dissect the risks facing society, business, and government. Michael sits down with the architects of intelligence and law enforcement to investigate:

- Corporate Risk: Governance failures and compliance blind spots.
- Government Integrity: Public office, private interest, and systemic corruption.
- Global Oversight: Money laundering, fraud, and international transparency.
