Coming to Paramount+ as a 3-part docuseries on October 28, 2025 - Don't Date Brandon.

Ex-Wives Undercover is a powerful true crime podcast that exposes the hidden world of charming con artists, narcissists, and master manipulators—men who cheat, scam, and gaslight their way through relationships, leaving devastation behind. Told by the women who lived it, these are the real, raw stories of survival, sisterhood, and taking back power.

Our stories have been featured on Netflix’s Love Con Revenge and Paramount+’s Don’t Date Brandon, bringing even more attention to the dangers of toxic relationships and the strength of the women who escape them.

This isn’t just about the con—it’s about the comeback.

Listeners will gain insight into the red flags of emotional abuse, learn how to spot a scammer before it's too late and hear firsthand how women rebuilt their lives after betrayal. Whether you’ve been through it, know someone who has, or just love true crime with a deeper purpose—this podcast is your reminder that knowledge is power, and healing is possible.

Bad Women: The Blackout Ripper: The streets of wartime London are pitch black and the darkness offers cover to a murderer every bit as terrible as Jack the Ripper. During one awful week in February 1942 he viciously attacked women night after night. But the victims of the so-called Blackout Ripper are now all but forgotten. Historian Hallie Rubenhold and criminologist Alice Fiennes share new details from the archives to tell the extraordinary and moving stories of the women who died and why their deaths were swept from view.    

Bad Women: The Ripper Retold: In the fall of 1888, five women were brutally murdered in the slums of London. But everything you think you know about Jack the Ripper and those murdered women is wrong. Hallie reconstructs the lives of the five victims - revealing the appalling treatment they faced as women in the 1880s, and completely overturning the accepted Ripper story.

In 2005, Joseph O'Callaghan's testimony helped convict two drug-dealing gangsters for murder, and he became the youngest person ever to enter the Witness Protection Programme in Ireland.

Now, as the men he put away agitate for release, he tells his extraordinary life story in his own words for the first time.

Following the publication of Nicola Tallant’s best-selling book The Witness, The Witness: In His Own Words is an ambitious and powerful documentary podcast series produced by the team behind The Stand with Eamon Dunphy.
