Jacob Haendel has been handed a death sentence. He has a terminal progressive disease that’s eating away at the white matter of his brain. In six months, he’ll be dead. As the months progress, Jake slips into a coma, laying there in total darkness. But something odd has happened… Jake is fully conscious. Nobody knows that he can hear them. They’re certain he’s no longer in there. With the promise that Jake will never recover, friends and family visit less and less. Until there is just one person left. A person who begins to whisper strange admissions in his ear. It is here, helpless in his hospital bed, that Jake realizes what may have gotten him here in the first place. The scariest thing in the room is no longer the potential of dying, but rather, the person sitting right next to him. This is Blink, the untold true story and survival of Jacob Haendel.

The Binge – feed your true crime obsession.

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. Kristy, who has always dreamed of being a mother, shows signs of strange, erratic behavior—secretive doctor visits, odd late-night activities, and a fierce insistence on keeping Jared at a distance. As he digs deeper, Jared uncovers secrets that reveal a side of Kristy he’s never known. Beneath her sweet, small-town charm lies a monster willing to go to unimaginable lengths to protect the life she’s crafted. The love that brought them together now binds them in a twisted game of deception and betrayal, where truth is elusive, and reality unravels one chilling clue at a time.

True crime authors and podcasters, Vikki Petraitis and Emily Webb, join up to create The Unthinkable, a podcast exploring stories of people who have experienced unthinkable events but who have come out the other side, stronger and wiser. They share their stories and their wisdom in double episodes that give each guest the time and space to explore what they experienced and what they learnt from it.

Amika Mota was a young mother, a midwife, and the daughter of a feminist icon. One night she caused a fatal crash that would separate her from her family and brand her as a criminal.  

Trapped inside prison, looking for any way out, she gets the call to join an all-female crew of incarcerated firefighters. When the alarm sounds, they drive out into the community on fire trucks as heroes – pulling bodies from crash scenes, saving lives and fighting fire. Every call brings her the chance to reclaim the world she lost.
