  • Hi, it's Helen here.

  • Today in Focus is on our summer break, and in our absence,

  • we wanted to give you the chance to listen to this really excellent series called Missing in the Amazon.

  • It's hosted by The Guardian's Latin America correspondent, Tom Phillips,

  • and it's from our new narrative strand, Guardian Investigates.

  • It's a feed where you can find all of The Guardian's award-winning narrative podcasts,

  • plus every new series we release.

  • I love it.

  • That was the one that, I think,

  • made everybody completely lose the plot and break down in tears, right?

  • And a second one by...

  • Lady Eye.
