Every scandal begins with a lie. But the truth will come out. And then comes the fallout and the outrage.
Scandals have shaped America since its founding. From business and politics to sports and society, we look on aghast as corruption, deceit and ambition bring down heroes and celebrities, politicians and moguls. And when the dust finally settles, we’re left to wonder: how did this happen? Where did they trip up, and who is to blame? From the creators of American History Tellers, Business Wars and Tides of History comes American Scandal, where we take you deep into the heart of America’s dark side to look at what drives someone to break the rules and what happens when they’re caught. Hosted by Lindsay Graham.

In this hit investigative podcast, Ryan Wolf investigates some of Australasia's most enduring unsolved criminal cases.
Season Four
On the night of 9th November 1996, Alana Cecil, who had only recently turned 16, was excited to attend the Djerriwah Bonfire Festival in the small city of Melton, just out of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. When she left home that night it would be the last time her family would ever see her alive. Sometime in the early hours of November 10th 1996, someone or some people took a syringe and injected Alana Cecil twice, once in each arm, with a lethal dose of Heroin. They then dumped her body in the back driveway of a vacant home. Eight years later a DNA breakthrough identified the semen of two men on and in Alana's body. One being a 49 year old man known to Police, who when questioned by Police simply answered 'No Comment'.
Neither these men, nor anyone else has ever been held accountable or responsible for Alana's death. And neither men have been able to offer a valid reason their DNA was present.
For 28 years Alana's family have fought for answers, and justice for Alana. Now through this podcast we're hoping that with your help those responsible for her death will finally get what they deserve.
In Season Four of GUILT - The Night of the Bonfire, Ryan heads Down Under, to Melbourne Australia to search for the truth. What happened to Alana Cecil?

Misdaadjournalist Wouter Laumans, Christian Flokstra en Ayse Çimen, allebei strafpleiter, praten met advocaten en officieren van justitie over bijzondere zaken die hen altijd zullen bijblijven. In deze BNR- podcast geven advocaten en officieren van justitie voor het eerst een unieke inkijk in geruchtmakende strafprocessen.
De podcast bestaat sinds het najaar van 2021 en wist vorig jaar als winnaar uit de bus te komen bij de Dutch Podcast Awards in de categorie crime. In iedere aflevering staat één strafproces centraal waarbij Laumans en Flokstra hun gast kritisch ondervragen en op die manier de zaak tot op de bodem analyseren.
In Napleiten hoor je de ene week alles over aan wietplantages gerelateerde ripdeals. In andere afleveringen word je meegenomen naar een crime passionel óf een ex-TBS-er die opnieuw in de fout gaat. Ook wordt regelmatig teruggekeken op gebeurtenissen die heel Nederland nog helder voor de geest staan. Denk aan de schietpartij in het winkelcentrum in Alphen a/d Rijn of de Damschreeuwer. Napleiten beperkt zich bovendien niet tot alleen maar strafprocessen in Nederland. Ook buiten onze landsgrenzen zijn immers volop interessante zaken te vinden!
Napleiten: wekelijks op BNR Nieuwsradio op zaterdag van 10.00-11.00 uur. Daarnaast zijn ook alle voorgaande afleveringen van de podcast beschikbaar op het BNR-platform of andere bekende podcastplatforms. Napleiten is in november 2023 uitgeroepen tot de Beste Podcast van Nederland.
Over de makers:
Wouter Laumans is misdaadjournalist bij Het Parool. Je kent hem waarschijnlijk als auteur van de bestseller ‘Mocro Maffia’ uit 2014. In 2019 verscheen het vervolg op dit boek: ‘Wraak’. In het verleden schreef Laumans voor NRC, Panorama en Nieuwe Revu.
Christian Flokstra is in 2008 in de advocatuur begonnen nadat hij eerst een jaar als docent en onderzoeker aan de Vrije Universiteit verbonden was. Flokstra was als strafrechtadvocaat onder meer betrokken bij grote strafzaken tegen de georganiseerde misdaad, zoals Passage, Marengo en Eris.
Ayse Çimen begon haar carrière in 2008 bij Spong Advocaten, waar ze zich heeft gespecialiseerd in het strafrecht. Sinds 2017 is Ayse partner bij Takens Admiraal Advocaten te Amsterdam. De praktijk van Çimen bestaat o.a. uit georganiseerde misdaad, witwaszaken, drugshandel, overvallen, inbraken, diefstal, moord, doodslag en overige geweldsdelicten. Op dit moment verdedigt Ayse één van de verdachten van de moord op Peter R. de Vries.
