Caleb Flynn - Part 1: The Murder of Ashley Flynn | #475 Nov 05, 2026

Show notes

When the wife of former American Idol contestant Caleb Flynn was shot twice in the head at close range – while her two daughters slept just metres down the hallway – Caleb blamed an intruder.

What he didn’t reveal (at least at first) was his affair with the significantly younger Alleigha Botner, who he’d met at church. Or, how dependent he was on Ashley’s father’s family business. But none of that would stay a secret for long.

ShortHand: Centralia – The Real Silent Hill Nov 03, 2026

Show notes

A fire has been raging under the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, for more than 60 years – and it’s nowhere near done.

After the vast underground coal deposits under the former mining town caught alight, sinkholes in the road opened up into flaming pits, billowing thick smoke through town. Toxic fumes seeped up through the floorboards and poisoned people in their homes. And in the town’s cemeteries, the flames even reached up from below and swallowed up the dead themselves…

ShortHand: Big Witch Special Part 3 - The Witches Take America Oct 27, 2026

Show notes

At first, stories of European witch-panics were nothing more than idle gossip to the settlers of New England. But soon – faced with inexplicable blights, punishing winters, and stories of people carried off into the night by indigenous tribes – suspicions of black magic became very real indeed...

Picking up where we left off in Europe, H&S explore how the madness of the witch-hunting craze made its way to the New World. So strap in for sinister rituals, lots of piss-based magic, and how it all came to a head in the little village of Salem, Massachusetts.

ShortHand: Big Witch Special Part 1 - The European Witch Craze Oct 20, 2026

Show notes

Believed for over a thousand years to be local soothsayers who used their powers for everyday charms and spells, European witches' PR machine finally turned against them in the 16th and 17th centuries: when the continent suddenly became gripped by the idea that they weren't so wholesome after all...

In fact, they might just be part of a demonic army on a mission to cloud the whole world in evil.

For spooky season, we're treating our listeners to a redux of our epic two-parter ShortHand exploring the witch-hunting mania that gripped Europe for a huge chunk of its history – and led to the state-sanctioned executions of over 200,000 people.

FROM THE VAULT - David Fuller: Monster in the Morgue | #369 Oct 19, 2026

Show notes

Since it's October, we're revisiting one of the most sickening, spine-chilling cases we've ever covered on RedHanded...

The horrifying case of David Fuller: the so-called Monster in the Morgue.

At first, police thought they were only looking for a double murderer.

Nicknamed the ‘Bedsit Killer’ in the press, the suspect’s reputation for savage violence already loomed large in the town of Tunbridge Wells in the late 80s. But it was only when they caught David Fuller – more than 30 years later – that they learnt the blood-curdling truth: that for years, the mortuary worker had been acting out his sick fantasies with the bodies of the dead.

ShortHand: Hell Oct 16, 2026

Show notes

Boiled in blood, hacked at by knives, torn apart by iron dogs… the world’s religions differ on what exactly might await sinners in the afterlife. But one thing they can all agree on is that if you were naughty on Earth, you are in for one hell of a horrible time.

We take a quick tour of history’s grimmest netherzones: from freezing poison rain in the Norse Helheim, to a river of excrement, where monstrous aquatic beings eat your flesh, down in the Hindu Narakas. Welcome to Hell.
