About Open Source Network

Open Source Network is an independent podcast network for documentary-style investigations built on documents. Court filings. Leaked emails. Indictments. Regulator reports. The kind of public-record material that's too large for most newsrooms to read in full.

We're transparent about being AI-assisted. The editorial review is human. Every claim is sourced. Nothing is opinion.

The FIFA Files is OSN's launch show. The next show is already in development.

Sources

Every episode is built from documents that anyone can read. We list them in the show notes for each episode, and we link to the public versions where they exist.

The full source library — court filings, indictments, regulator reports, journalistic investigations — is browsable by episode. New bibliographies publish at the close of each arc.
