    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.

    S11 | The Murder of Andrew Bagshaw | Ep 6: Evidence of War Crimes Sep 28, 2026
    Show notes

    In the season finale, Bryan Bruce meets the Ukrainian military commander who was defending Soledar when Andrew and fellow volunteer Christopher Parry went missing. With the help of a battlefield map, he explains how the two men ended up in Russian-held territory and what Wagner mercenaries likely did to them. Bryan also travels to the town of Bucha, where the brutality of Russia’s occupation and the slaughter of innocent civilians is brought into chilling focus, before going on to Dnipro where he interviews the prosecutor investigating Andrew’s death as a possible war crime. With new evidence, but still many unanswered questions, Bryan’s investigation takes another step towards finding the truth about Andrew’s murder.

    S11 | The Murder of Andrew Bagshaw | Ep 5: Shot, Not Shelled Sep 28, 2026
    Show notes

    Disturbing evidence about what happened to Andrew Bagshaw and Christopher Parry is uncovered, including that a Wagner mercenary was using Andrew’s phone shortly after he disappeared. Bryan then visits the Kyiv morgue, where the pathologist who examined Andrew’s body confirms he died from gunshot wounds and not an artillery strike, as his parents had initially been told. So where did that story come from? Was someone deliberately trying to shape the narrative before the truth could emerge?
