> And, of course, in 2018 I helped create and produce the most ambitious project I’ve ever worked on: Caliphate.

> While I remain proud of our team and what we were able to accomplish with Caliphate, getting any aspect of any story wrong, by any degree, is a journalist’s worst nightmare. After Caliphate was corrected, in print and in audio, peers of mine in the audio industry, from outside of The Times, began to raise questions about why I had been allowed to remain in my position.

I can't speak to the rest of this resignation, but it's sort of wild to see Caliphate described this way. When my understanding is that the main person they interviewed was lying and the podcast is mostly fiction. And then he goes on to say that he had "engaged in rigorous and careful journalism".
