The Rise and Fall of Diddy

For decades, Sean “Diddy” Combs stood at the top of hip-hop—a mogul who built an empire and redefined celebrity, power, and influence in the music industry. But behind the platinum hits and red carpets, a darker story was beginning to emerge. As accusations of abuse and misconduct gained momentum, the shine began to fade.

Hosted by Jesse Weber, Season 2 of The Rise & Fall of Diddy picks up where the story left off. With a federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial now underway, we go deeper into the allegations threatening to dismantle one of the most iconic legacies in entertainment history.

With courtroom drama unfolding in real time, this season tracks the legal battles, key witnesses, explosive evidence, and the unraveling of a cultural icon once thought untouchable. 

The spotlight is harsher. The stakes are higher. And the fall may be final.

Cover – BBC Radio 5 Live

A new investigative series from the production team behind ‘Where Is George Gibney?’ This new series will focus on another figure who lived a double life and was eventually forced to live under cover. And it’s a story, like the George Gibney one, that many would prefer was never told. So, from this point on, this feed will be renamed ‘Cover.’ Series 1 one of which was ‘Where Is George Gibney?’ and series 2 is Stakeknife. In Northern Ireland from 1978 to 1994, the IRA killed over 40 alleged informers; people accused of passing information to the police and the British Army. But the man who often found, tortured, and sometimes killed these men and women was himself an informer, a secret British Army Agent with the codename Stakeknife. Using secret recordings, reporter Mark Horgan traces the astonishing double life of Freddie Scappaticci. Why was he protected? How did he walk the tightrope between the IRA and British Army intelligence for so long and when murders, often of entirely innocent people, were sometimes allowed to take place despite state security force surveillance, who gets to play God? This series is about far more than just one man; it’s about the state structures that protected him. From the production team behind the international award-winning ‘Where Is George Gibney?’, Stakeknife tells the story of one of the most-contested and darkest episodes of the Troubles. When neither side wants the story of Stakeknife to come out, how does society try to reconcile the truth about what happened? You can continue to contact our production team about either series via our new email cover@bbc.co.uk and rest assured, any significant future movements in the story of George Gibney will also be covered right here. Talk to you again next week. Read More

The Unborn

Jared and Kristy Akron are the couple everyone admires; living the small-town, Pennsylvania dream: a recent wedding,  a new home, and twins on the way. But when Jared begins noticing cracks in their seemingly perfect life, his suspicions lead him down a dark and twisting path he never anticipated.

Inside McKamey Manor

In Nashville, Tennessee sits an unremarkable house, it’s red brick, set back from the road, with a green lawn. It looks…completely normal, but online it’s become infamous.


Over this eight part series, journalist and horror enthusiast Elizabeth McCafferty explores the world of McKamey Manor - labelled the most extreme haunt in the world. McKamey Manor is an American haunted house in which there are no limits, where thrill-seekers sign a waiver that allows the actors in the house to do anything, including real physical harm. There is allegedly an award for completing the haunt…but no one has ever succeeded. Now there’s a petition to close the manor, and some participants say it’s not a haunt at all, but a torture house, blurring the lines between fear and endurance - all run by one dangerous man - Russ McKamey.


Inside McKamey Manor explores what really happens behind the doors of one of the most controversial extreme attractions, finds out who Russ McKamey is and unpacks the industry of scaring. What’s the psychology that drives people to seek out fear and why are so many people willing to risk everything for the thrill of real fear?
