  • Las Vegas Stripped Bare
    With its reputation for glitz, glamour and gambling, Las Vegas has become one of the world’s foremost tourist destinations, with over 40 million visitors a year. But the bright lights and breathtaking architecture conceal a murky past. After gambling was legalised in Nevada in the 1930s, a raft of hotel-casinos sprang up under the control of gangsters such as Bugsy Siegel and Frank Costello – a state of affairs that continued well into the 1960s.

  • Weapons of Mass Surveillance
    Middle Eastern governments are using high tech mass surveillance tools to monitor their citizens. Western companies, including Britain’s largest weapons manufacturer, BAE, are among those selling surveillance technology to these governments. The trade is attracting criticism from human rights organisations who question whether a British company should be selling such equipment, much of it classified, to repressive regimes in the Arab world. BBC Arabic’s Nawal Al-Maghafi investigates.

  • UK Election: Something Happened, but What?
    British politics has become unpredictable. As voters were going to the polls in the UK general election on 8 June, many were contemplating a landslide for the Conservative Prime Minister Theresa May – nearly all polls predicted it. And of course Theresa May and the Conservative Party did win - but they are the largest party in what is a hung parliament - they no longer have overall control, so what happened? Why did people vote the way they did?

  • The Death of the Cockfighters
    Carlos Dews was brought up in a poor area of rural east Texas, travelling every weekend to cockfighting tournaments across the southern states. “I remember,” he says, “limp necks and the lifeless swaying heads of beautiful birds as they were carried by their feet to barrels for burning.

  • Radio Doc: Man met de microfoon - Onvoorstelbaar | 11-06-2017
    Man met de microfoon - Onvoorstelbaar: Voor de podcast Man met de microfoon reist radiomaker Chris Bajema met zijn oranje Ford Transit-busje door zijn eigen wijk, op zoek naar opmerkelijke korte verhalen. Één van die verhalen was zo ongelofelijk dat hij er een complete aflevering gaan wijdde en dat we er in Radio Doc een heel uur voor hebben vrijgemaakt.Het begint bij een bijzondere zoektocht. Jaren geleden werkte Marijtje in een muziekwinkel waar ze gebeld werd door een oudere vrouw. Die vertelde dat er een straatnaam naar haar overleden man was vernoemd. Haar man bleek, zonder dat zij het ooit geweten had, voor de oorlog een bekende jazzdrummer te zijn geweest. Chris zoekt het verhaal achter dit telefoontje uit en ontdekt gaandeweg een ander, nog veel onwaarschijnlijker, verhaal.
