The Indo Daily
Most people may wonder from time to time who our parents really are, but growing up at least Joanne Briggs thought that she knew at least one aspect of who her father was.
He worked for Nasa, he was a famous scientist, he was an important successful man.
But Michael Briggs was also an absent father, a fraudster whose lies harmed people. He may even have been a spy.
Joanne Briggs worked as a barrister before becoming an author. Her latest work is called The Scientist Who Wasn’t There: A true story of staggering deception.
She joined Ciarán Dunbar to share her remarkable story and to grapple with the question: who was her father, really? Today’s Indo Daily comes from our sister podcast The BelTel.
