A true crime and corruption series investigating stories from South Carolina and beyond.

Coco Berthmann became internet-famous by sharing her story of surviving sex trafficking as a young child growing up in Germany. She was sheltered and supported by families in Utah, where her faith and fame intertwined. But in 2022, Coco was arrested for raising money for a fake cancer diagnosis, and people began to doubt everything that she had ever said. Is her life story truly one big elaborate lie? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Sara Ganim and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning showrunner Karen Given investigate in Dear Media’s first true crime podcast.

In the golden age of air travel, flying was sold as glamorous, luxurious, and effortlessly chic. But for the young women working the aisles at 30,000 feet, the reality was very different. When Patt Gibbs joined American Airlines in the 1960s, she was trained to be slim, smiling, and subservient. Stewardesses like her were weighed like luggage, forced to retire at 32 years old, banned from marriage, and expected to endure sexual harassment with grace. One extra pound, one birthday too many, or one wedding ring and your wings were clipped. But when Patt walks into a union meeting on a whim, everything changes. The Girlfriends: Flight or Fight tells the story of the stewardesses who refused to be grounded. From secret meetings to landmark discrimination cases to high-stakes union votes, these women challenged America’s biggest airlines and the sexism baked into the industry itself. A powerful sisterhood began to form across cabin aisles and crew lounges. They weren’t just fighting for better contracts. They were fighting for control of their own lives.

One Minute Remaining is a true crime and prison podcast featuring first-hand stories from inmates serving lengthy sentences inside prisons across the United States. From murder and attempted murder to robbery, arson and claims of wrongful conviction, these are criminal cases told from behind prison walls.

Hosted by Jack Laurence, One Minute Remaining gives prisoners the opportunity to tell their stories in their own words. We examine the crimes, the evidence and the cases that led to their incarceration, while hearing directly from the people serving the sentences.

Some maintain their innocence. Others admit exactly what they did. Some are serving life sentences or decades behind bars. The purpose isn't to prove them innocent or guilty — it's to hear their account, examine the case against them, and let you decide what you think.

From murder cases and disputed convictions to extraordinary stories from inside the American prison system, One Minute Remaining takes listeners beyond the headlines and into cases they may never otherwise have heard.

Hosted by Australian podcaster Jack Laurence.

In 2003, Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty for the deaths of four of her children, and sentenced to 25 years in prison. All her children died as infants, and Kathleen has always maintained her innocence. But in the eyes of the law, she is Australia’s worst female serial killer. But now, almost two decades on, 151 scientists are petitioning for Kathleen Folbigg's release. They have found a gene mutation in two of Kathleen’s children and believe they died of natural causes. In this podcast Jane Hansen looks into the Kathleen Folbigg case. She tries to find out who Kathleen really is. Jane will give you insights into the history of her case, and then follow the inquiry into the new genetic discovery that could prove her innocence. 

This podcast is written and hosted by Jane Hansen, and produced and edited by Andrea Thiis-Evensen.
