Hotel K & The Bali 9: The Indonesian Drug Trafficking Prison | #260
What do Gordon Ramsey’s brother, drug traffickers, rapists, gangsters, terrorists, thieves, and some of the unluckiest tourists in the world have in common? They’ve all spent time in Bali’s infamous Kerobokan prison, otherwise known as Hotel K: the name that strikes fear into Australian travellers everywhere. Built around 40 years ago to house 300 inmates, Hotel K is now home to over 1400, over three-quarters of whom are in for drug charges, in a country with some of the most draconian drug laws on the planet. Welcome to Indonesia, where being caught with narcotics could end with you with your back against a wall, staring down the barrels of a firing squad. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Richard Huckle: Britain's "Gap Year Paedophile" | #259
Richard Huckle's grooming, exploitation and sexual abuse against some of the world's poorest children were posted on the dark web all to see. From Malaysia, Britain's "Gap Year Paedophile" conducted a nine-year-long, systematic campaign of abuse, authored a how-to-guide for paedophiles, and contributed to one of the largest child sexual abuse networks ever discovered. Then, in October of 2019, prison officers at HMP Full Sutton in West Yorkshire discovered Huckle's body, after being subjected to 89 minutes of torture and strangled to death by another inmate. This is the story of the incredible officers who brought him down, how online anonymity and safeguarding failures enabled his abuse, and what this case reveals about international child exploitation. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Alex Skeel: Male Domestic Abuse and Coercive Control | #258
Alex Skeel's torture, imprisonment, isolation and starvation at the hands of his girlfriend, Jordan Worth, is one of the UK's worst cases of domestic abuse against a male victim. Described by the first officer to arrive as “the worst domestic scene” they’d ever witnessed, the brutality of what Alex Skeel endured was shocking. Alex had deep gashes on his arms, burns upon burns, and according to his family, he smelt like he was dead. But his years of isolation and abuse weren’t the work of a kidnapper – they came from the woman he loved. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Kathleen Folbigg & Patricia Stallings: Mothers Not Killers | #257
The theory “1 sudden infant death is a tragedy, 2 is suspicious and 3 is murder” has pervaded criminal investigations for decades – so when Kathleen Folbigg’s daughter, Laura, became her fourth to die mysteriously, Kathleen found herself labeled “Australia’s Worst Female Serial Killer”. Today the girls delve into two unbelievable miscarrriages of justice – mothers wrongfully convicted of killing their children – which highlight the immense challenges of the intersection between science and justice in the courtroom. And discover how a series of bizarre circumstances and medical anomalies could have led to the deaths of 5 babies and the imprisonment of two women. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Norwegian Black Metal: Pure F**king Mayhem | #256
The notorious Norwegian black metal scene of the early 90s – driven by Per Olin, aka 'Dead', and his band of teenage outcasts, Mayhem – started with pigs’ heads impaled on spikes, buried clothes wrapped around dead birds, and other notorious onstage antics. In three years, it spiralled into dozens of church burnings around Norway, violent bigotry – and the gruesome deaths of three people. In this week’s episode, the girls chart the bloody origins of Mayhem; its central figures Dead, Euronymous, Varg Vikernes and more; and how they fostered the most feared music scene in history… -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Who Killed The Harrisons?: Mississauga Murders | #255
In 2013, when paramedics found the strangled body of 40-year-old Caleb Harrison lying in his bed in Mississauga, Ontario, there was an eerie sense of familiarity. Because this wasn’t the first time that the paramedics had found a dead body at the Harrison family home. In fact, in the space of just five years, three members of the Harrison family had died in separate and bizarre incidents in the same house… Was the house haunted by a murderous ghost, or was the family being preyed upon by a calculated and patient killer? -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Jennifer Pan: Tiger Blood | #254
When three masked men entered Jennifer Pan's family home in Markham, Ontario, it seemed like an opportunistic home break-in. But on closer inspection, all the clues pointed back inside the house – and a family murder beyond all comprehension. After all, why would the would-be robbers shoot Hann and Bich Pan in cold blood, but leave their 24-year-old daughter Jennifer Pan relatively unharmed? Why didn’t they drive off in the expensive Lexus that was parked in the drive? And why would Hann Pan run from the house, leaving his daughter tied to a bannister? -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Victoria Cilliers and the Parachute Plot | #253
When police discovered that ex-soldier Victoria Cilliers' parachute had been sabotaged – it could only have been one thing: murder at 10,000 feet. Speeding towards the ground at over 60 miles per hour, former soldier and parachute instructor Victoria Cilliers was about to make history. She would be the first person in over a decade to experience a double parachute failure. Miraculously, she survived the impact. But when Victoria’s equipment was examined, it became clear there was more to this “freak accident” than met the eye. There were gas leaks, gaslights and grounds to divorce. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Boyzone obsessions and black magic paedophile rings consumed the mind of Sabrina Koudier. But her neighbours turned a blind eye to the strange woman's violent outbursts, and vile treatment of her French au pair, Sophie. It wasn't their place to get involved. But even the well-to-do residents of Southfields couldn't ignore the billowing plume of black smoke and the unmistakable smell of burning hair and flesh... -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / Instagram

Episode 247 – The 2017 Manchester Bombing
On 22 May 2017, as Ariana Grande hit the high notes of her final song to a sold-out Manchester Arena, Salman Abedi hit the button on a homemade bomb. The resulting explosion killed Abedi and 22 other innocent people, and left over 1,000 more injured. The country mourned, millions of pounds were raised, and we all promised not to let hate win. But as the dust settled, a worrying question started being asked: how did a known terrorist sympathiser who had fought alongside an ISIL militia slip through the UK’s counterterrorism net?

Episode 245 - ‘The Satanic Verses’: Fatwas & Faux Pas
If the contents of a 546-page book can get one man murdered, two more seriously injured and its author forced into hiding for nine years, you can be confident of its subject: religion. But despite its reputation, ‘The Satanic Verses’ isn’t a page-by-page deconstruction of Islam. It’s a work of fiction; one that prompted the leader of Iran to call for a worldwide manhunt of anyone involved in its publication. So how did one man’s literary skill get another man literally killed?

When police rushed to respond to a triple murder in one of South Africa’s most exclusive gated communities, it seemed as though Henri van Breda had had a lucky escape. They found him standing on his family lawn, dead-eyed and covered in blood and urine. According to the neighbours, he had been eerily waving to them while he waited for the police. All understandable, when three of your loved ones have been hacked to death by an axe-wielding maniac. But as police dug further into the burglary-turned-homicide, things just weren't adding up...
