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.

Sinners are often people who believe they deserve every little thing they desire, and hurting others along the way...well that’s just road kill. On a small scale it’s scary, but on the scale these people have done it it’s down right evil. Preachers, church, your faith are your most trusted source of comfort...but what happens when that world is shattered... Season 1 of Seven Deadly Sinners took on the world of Televangelists and cultish child sexual predator, Warren Jeffs. Seasons 2 and 3 of Seven Deadly Sinners, we’re traveling to the depths of hell, expanding our realm and covering Preachers, Cult Leaders and Religious Organizations linked to horrific crimes...and some of these cases involve leaders who kidnap, rape and murder the ones who trust them the most. What if, after leading you in prayer, he lures to the bedroom. What it the same preacher who captures your heart, kidnaps your child. What if, the priest serving you communion used those same hands to dispose of a corpse. These Preachers committed heinous crimes - right under ...your.... nose.. - with a bible next to their bed - and a cross around their neck. Rachael O’Brien is the host of Seven Deadly Sinners, and she guides you on this hellish journey of deception all under the guise of Faith.

Welcome to The Devil Within, the podcast that explores true stories of demonic possession and the supernatural. With new episodes every week and new, immersive seasons every year, The Devil Within begins where the answers run out... and the truth, no matter how extraordinary, will be brought into the light. From ancient spirits to modern day ghost stories... demonic possession to creatures of legend. For all things unexplainable - and more than few that are better left alone - The Devil Within has you covered. BINGE THE FIRST THREE SEASONS NOW! Season 1: The Jersey Devil - The brutal slaying of BETTY ANN SULLIVAN shocked the small town of Jefferson Township, New Jersey. The violence of that evening shocked the nation for the perpetrator... was her own son, a boy of fourteen who would take his own life only hours later. What the investigation revealed left a community in tatters, unwilling to believe the evil that had befallen them. Season 2: The Demons of Yorkshire - In 1974 after experiencing financial hardship, Michael Taylor joined a local church in the rolling hills of Northern England. After falling in love with a young, beautiful preacher, Michael’s personality began to change. The mild-mannered family man became abusive and unhinged. His new church believed he was possessed by no fewer than 48 demons and would require an exorcism to save his soul and protect his family from evil. But the supposed remedy would come at a very steep price... Season 3: A Season in Hell - In the late 1970's New York City had it all: Hip Hop, Punk Rock... and the Son of Sam. The third season of The Devil Within takes listeners into the belly of the beast and explores the wicked origins, reign of terror and ultimate capture of one of the most feared serial killers in history. With exclusive interviews from journalists, FBI agents, historians and mental health experts this season promises to be the most comprehensive - and most terrifying - account of how one man brought New York City to a standstill.

Journalisten Lammert de Bruin en Babs Assink, bekend van podcasts als De Showbizzmoord, Mathilde's Mysterie en De Butlermoord, duiken diep in opvallende nationale en internationale misdaadzaken. In dit derde seizoen van hun serie 'Lammert & Babs' staat Bureau Warmoesstraat centraal. Drugs, prostitutie, gokken en moorden op de Amsterdamse Wallen zorgden ervoor dat Bureau Warmoesstraat het bekendste politiebureau van Nederland werd. Maar ook corruptie en de boeken, series en films van oud-rechercheur Appie Baantjer droegen daaraan bij. Bijna 25 jaar geleden sloot het markante bureau zijn deuren, maar de verhalen zijn nog niet vergeten. Lammert en Babs halen deze verhalen op bij betrokkenen door met ze terug te gaan naar de plekken op de Wallen waar het allemaal gebeurde.

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?

New episode will be coming soon. Subscribers will get early access, bonus episodes and ad free listening. You can subscribe for the price of a coffee every month and support this and all our investigations via Apple through your app, or by following the Acast+ link below.

Season Three

In 1989 two Swedish backpackers, Heidi Paakkonen and Sven Urban Hoglin arrived in New Zealand for the trip of a lifetime. And never went home. They were last seen alive together in Thames on April 7th 1989. One year after their mysterious disappearance Urban Hoglin's body would be found and confirmed a brutal murder. But to this day Heidi's body has never been found. Season 3 of GUILT will see Ryan attempt to finally bring an end to this mystery and send Heidi home to her family where she belongs. Ryan will uncover never before heard witnesses, fresh evidence in a Season of the podcast that really has to be heard to be believed.


Season Two

21st June 2004, Jim Donnelly goes to work as usual at the Glenbrook Steel Mill, places his lunch on the bench, gets changed into his work clothes - and is never seen again. In Season Two of Guilt Ryan travels to Waiuku New Zealand in an attempt to finally solve this 18 year mystery, and discovers a baffling and mysterious story with twists at every turn.

When Elizabeth Short, also known as The Black Dahlia, was brutally killed in 1947, it gripped the entire country. More than 70 years later, it remains America's most infamous unsolved murder. Many believe Dr. George Hodel was the killer, thanks to an investigation by Hodel's own son. But murder is just part of the Hodel family story, one filled with horrifying secrets that ripple across generations. Now, through never-before-heard archival audio and first-time interviews, the Hodel family opens up to reveal their shocking story. In this eight-part documentary series, sisters Rasha Pecoraro and Yvette Gentile, the great grand daughters of George Hodel, take a deep dive into their family history to try to figure out what really happened, and where do they all go from here? Root of Evil is the companion podcast to TNTs limited series I Am the Night. Inspired by the true story of the Hodel family, the series stars Chris Pine and comes from acclaimed Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins.

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.

Previously known as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight is the intersection of True Crime, journalism and systematic corruption. Celebrated journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are taking their style of reporting beyond Alex Murdaugh and his co-conspirators. We expose the truth wherever it leads giving voice to victims like Mica Francis, Sara Lynn Colucci, and Christa Gilley, while still pursuing justice for all the victims you've met so far like Stephen Smith, Dallas Stoller, and others. True Sunlight is the antithesis of True crime. True Sunlight values accuracy over "access journalism". True Sunlight is shed with empathy — not exploitation. True Sunlight was created as a matter of public service — not just entertainment. While the name of the podcast has changed, our mission, values and team have not. We are simply expanding our horizons while continuing to shine a much needed bright light on crime and corruption wherever it appears. Ranked #1 and #2 globally in 2021 and 2023 respectively as the Murdaugh Murders Podcast, True Sunlight provides unmatched insight into the crimes and criminals exposed on MMP and dives deep into new instances of where crime meets corruption across the US. We empower listeners to understand their legal and judicial systems through investigative journalism while providing tools to hold agencies and public figures accountable in order to change those systems for the better.
