    DELVE: Powder Keg – newsroom.co.nz

    SERIES 5 – POWDER KEG: Some stories grow from a green shoot; some explode like a powder keg. The global supplement market is worth $200 billion a year, and Chris Ashenden is a rock star of the industry. Yet in his home country of New Zealand, nobody had heard of him. Investigative journalist Jonathan Milne wanted to tell his story – but when Chris proved elusive, alarm bells began to ring. In the latest electrifying podcast from DELVE, we investigate the superstar endorsements, the science and the safety of the world’s favourite green powder, AG1. Listen to a story that will entangle the biggest names in audio, from Joe Rogan to Andrew Huberman to Gwyneth Paltrow. We follow the money, dig into the crimes and commission our own lab analysis. From the chill of the Southern Ocean to a record Mexican heatwave, from Colombia to the Caribbean, we chase down AG1’s founder to tell the story he didn’t want told. 
    Only on DELVE, the home of gripping, in-depth investigative podcasts, including award-winning The Boy in the Water, and Fractured.

    S7 | Welcome to Season 2 of Fractured Feb 20, 2025
    Show notes


    Step into the gripping world of Fractured, the acclaimed investigative podcast from Melanie Reid, as it returns for its second season.


    In season 1 we uncovered the harrowing story of a controversial medical diagnosis from a New Zealand hospital, and the devastating chain of events that followed.


    A baby taken. A mother jailed. A family torn apart. And a couple facing deportation without their daughter.


    Crushed under the immense pressure of government departments working in unison, this is the story of how the dream of starting fresh in a new country spiralled into an unimaginable nightmare.


    In this hard-hitting second season, Melanie Reid and her team take the x-rays that were used to convict a young mother and put them before international experts. Their findings challenge the Starship doctors’ original diagnosis, and ask whether there is a troubling pattern with a medical hypothesis that has led to wrongful convictions around the globe.

    Fractured Season Two doesn’t just tell one family’s story, it reveals a chilling phenomenon that could have far-reaching consequences.

    S7 | Fractured Season 2 | Bonus Episode: The Syndrome Feb 10, 2025
    Show notes

    We’ll be launching season 2 of Fractured soon, but before we do, we are going to play you some extracts from a US documentary called The Syndrome. It’s a film that challenges the scientific validity of Shaken Baby syndrome and highlights the impact of wrongful convictions on families, featuring a group of doctors who consider the diagnosis to be junk science. It also reveals the history and politics behind Shaken Baby Syndrome in the US, drawing parallels with the discredited Satanic ritual abuse panic of the 80s and 90s.


    Also available to read today on newsroom.co.nz is an update on the couple at the centre of our Fractured case.


    As mentioned in this episode, here are 33 different medical conditions that could be misdiagnosed as Shaken Baby Syndrome:


    Sickle cell anemia, Meningitis, Vitamin C deficiency, Vitamin D deficiency, Vitamin K deficiency, Lobstein syndrome, Glutaric aciduria, Thrombocytopenia, Cryoglobulinemia, Reye's syndrome, Hemophilia, Dysphagic choking, Marfan syndrome, Von Willebrand's disease, Vascular malformations, Bacterial infections, Viral infections, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Menkes disease, Rickets, Terson syndrome, Osteogenesis imperfecta, Homocystinuria, Sudden respiratory distress, Venous thrombosis, Rebleed of a hematoma, Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Allagille syndrome, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Congenital heart disease, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, Other natural or accidental causes.

    S7 | Fractured Season 2 | Bonus Episode: The Uplift Jan 29, 2025
    Show notes

    As we prepare for season two of Fractured, we are publishing this special bonus episode. In 2019, Melanie Reid and the Newsroom team released a groundbreaking video investigation that exposed the practice of newborns being taken directly from hospital birthing units in New Zealand. As with our Fractured series, we questioned the policies, practices and actions of our state agencies. This story sparked four inquiries into Oranga Tamariki and an urgent Waitangi Tribunal hearing. Now, for the first time, that pivotal investigation is available as an audio episode. Listeners can also watch the original video on Newsroom.
