Episode 238 - The Satanic Panic: QAnon and the Case of Matthew Taylor Coleman Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

What could drag a seemingly normal man, from being a fun-loving Christian surf instructor to killing his own children in fear of their "serpent DNA"?
In part two of our deep-dive into the evolution of the Satanic Panic, we talk bout how anonymous messages left on 4chan became a global cult and started a chain of events that has led to real-world violence including the 2021 Capitol riots, and the deaths of two children. It's time to talk QAnon…

Show notes

On the 14th of April 1984, the body of a baby boy was found on Cahersiveen Beach, County Kerry in Ireland. The baby had been stabbed 28 times and its neck was broken. The Garda quickly found a suspect; Joanne Hayes. And soon, this police investigation became a medieval witch hunt and a dissection of motherhood itself.

Every parent's worst fear is that their child is taken away from them.
Some imagine that if they relax for a second their child could be snatched from their grasp. But what if you did everything right?
What if you identified the danger?
What if you told the police?
What if your child was tricked and manipulated right in front of your eyes?
That is the living hell experienced by Lorin LaFave and Barry Bednar, and that is the story of Breck Bednar and Lewis Daynes.

Episode 234 - The Hillsborough Disaster Feb 24, 2022

Show notes

The deadliest event in UK sporting history took place on the 15th of April, 1989. In the starting minutes of the F.A. Cup semi-finals between Liverpool F.C. and Nottingham Forest, a disaster unfolded which to date has claimed the lives of 97 people. and left 766 others injured on the day.
These innocent people were the victims of the complacency, ineptitude, and sheer incompetence of those whose very jobs were to ensure their safety.
Institutional coverups, police corruption, evidence tampering, and lies in the media made it take almost 30 years for the truth to come to light.

Episode 233 - Peter Kürten: The Vampire of Düsseldorf Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

In the world of true crime, the media is often accused of inaccuracy, dramatisation, and sensational headline writing, but there's an exception to every rule. Never has a killer fitted their moniker more than Peter Kürten, 'The Vampire of Düsseldorf'...
Kürten may well have had a reflection and he may not have hung from the ceiling like a bat, but in one very key aspect, he was every bit Deutschland's Dracula.

Episode 232 - Novichok Eau de Toilette: Sergei & Yulia Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

On the 4th of March, 2018, the residents of Salisbury, England, watched on in horror as British soldiers flooded their streets, and people in hazmat suits cordoned off their roads.
Earlier that day, a man and a woman had collapsed on the high street; both were convulsing and foaming from the mouth.
The people of Salisbury had no idea that their sleepy little town was ground zero for the first chemical weapon attack, using a deadly nerve agent, in Western Europe since WW2.
