- Facebook's Social Reckoning: Whistleblowers Frances Haugen & Sarah Wynn-Williams
A trillion-dollar company. Two women who worked inside it, years apart. And the exact same warnings, ignored twice.
This episode traces Frances Haugen, the Facebook product manager who walked out with a phone full of leaked documents and wiped six billion dollars off the company's share price in a single day, and Sarah Wynn-Williams, Facebook's former global policy chief, whose tell-all memoir Careless People landed her in emergency arbitration and a gag order so strict she's legally barred from discussing her own book.We cover the Instagram research on teenage girls, the Myanmar crisis both women separately flagged, China, Cross-Check, the Capitol riot, and the 2026 courtroom reckoning that's cost Meta over seventeen billion dollars so far.
One whistleblower built a legal shield before she ever spoke. The other found out, too late, exactly how exposed she'd left herself. Coincidence, or exactly the pattern you'd expect from a company this size?
Topics Included- Frances Haugen's path from Google and Pinterest to Facebook's Civic Integrity team
- The leaked internal research on Instagram's effect on teenage girls' body image
- Cross-Check (XCheck) and the rules that didn't apply to Facebook's most powerful users
- The Capitol riot, the Facebook Files, and Facebook's rebrand to Meta
- Meta's 2026 courtroom reckoning: Section 230, the New Mexico and Los Angeles verdicts, and the $17.1 billion settlement
- Sarah Wynn-Williams' six years as Facebook's global policy chief, and the Myanmar and China allegations in her book
- The arbitration order and gag order that followed her memoir, Careless People
- Arturo Bejar's testimony, and what happened to Meta's stock price after the settlement

1 hr 33 min - Unabomber Part 2: The Manifesto That Exposed Ted Kaczynski
For 17 years, the Unabomber hid behind handmade bombs, false clues and the initials F.C. Then his need to explain himself gave the FBI the break it had been waiting for.
Part Two turns from the bombing campaign to Ted Kaczynski himself. We trace the gifted, isolated child who entered Harvard at 16, the controversial psychological study led by Henry Murray, the anti-technology ideas that hardened into violent ideology, and the contradictions of his off-grid life in a tiny Montana cabin.
When Industrial Society and Its Future was published, Ted’s brother David recognised something chilling in its language. What followed was a covert investigation, an arrest built around a Forest Service ruse, a cabin packed with evidence and a legal battle over whether any of it could be used. Even with the case closing around him, Kaczynski fought the defence designed to save his life because it threatened the one thing he still wanted the world to respect: his ideas.
Topics Included- Ted Kaczynski’s gifted but socially isolated childhood
- Henry Murray’s controversial Harvard psychology study
- The private crisis Kaczynski called a turning point in his life
- Jacques Ellul and the roots of Kaczynski’s anti-technology ideology
- The reality of living off-grid in the Montana cabin
- The manifesto and the linguistic clues that exposed him
- David Kaczynski’s decision to contact the FBI
- The search warrant, mental-health dispute and guilty plea

1 hr 12 min - Unabomber Part 1: The Biggest Manhunt in FBI History
In 1978, a brown-paper parcel was found between two cars at a Chicago university. It looked ordinary. The professor named as the sender had never seen it before. Then it exploded.
That first device began a 17-year bombing campaign that moved from university campuses to an airliner, computer shops and private homes. Sixteen bombs would kill three people and injure 23, while investigators struggled with devices deliberately built from common materials and a bomber capable of disappearing for years.
What the FBI did have was strange: scrap-built components, pieces of wood, the initials F.C., a witness sketch and, eventually, a bomber who decided to start writing. Part One follows the creation of the UNABOM investigation, the long silences between attacks, the deadly return in the 1990s and the extraordinary decision to publish Industrial Society and Its Future.
Then, after thousands of bad tips, one lead arrived that pointed towards a name already inside the investigation: Ted Kaczynski.
Topics Included- The mysterious first package bomb found in Chicago in 1978
- How the university and airline attacks gave the UNABOM case its name
- The scrap-built bombs, pieces of wood and recurring F.C. signature
- The escalation from serious injuries to the first fatalities
- The 1987 eyewitness encounter and iconic hooded-man sketch
- The Unabomber’s six-year disappearance and sudden return
- Freedom Club and the demand to publish Industrial Society and Its Future

1 hr 8 min - VAULT - Aileen Wuornos: The True Story Behind Monster
Aileen Wuornos killed seven men along Florida's highways between 1989 and 1990, but the question at the centre of her story has never been quite as simple as whether she was a serial killer.
Wuornos said her first victim, Richard Mallory, violently attacked and raped her before she shot him in self-defence. She later gave dramatically different accounts of what happened, eventually claiming that robbery, not survival, motivated the killings. Even then, her story continued to shift.
Behind those contradictions was a life already shaped by abandonment, alleged childhood abuse, homelessness, sex work, violence and an intense relationship with Tyria Moore.
We follow Wuornos from her brutal childhood in Michigan through the Florida highway murders, the investigation that finally identified her, Moore's role in obtaining her confession, the trial that sent her to death row, and the questions that remained when she was executed in 2002.
This is the true story behind the woman Charlize Theron portrayed in Monster.
Topics Included- Aileen Wuornos's childhood, abandonment and allegations of abuse
- Her relationship with Tyria Moore
- Richard Mallory and Wuornos's self-defence claim
- Seven killings across Florida between 1989 and 1990
- The fingerprint and vehicle evidence that helped identify Wuornos
- How Tyria Moore helped police obtain a confession
- Wuornos's changing explanations for the murders
- Her trial, death row years and execution

1 hr 21 min - Lizzie Borden: What Netflix’s Monster Got Wrong
In a respectable Massachusetts household in 1892, two people were hacked to death in broad daylight, and nobody in the house heard a thing.
This episode traces the Borden family from Andrew's rise from nothing to a $10-million-in-today's-money fortune he refused to spend, through the locked doors, the pigeon massacre, and the property dispute that split the household in two. Then: the morning of August 4th, the two-hour gap between the murders, the botched police investigation, the burnt dress, and the trial that put actual human skulls in front of a jury.
Lizzie Borden walked free. Whether that was justice or a masterclass in reasonable doubt is still argued over more than 130 years later — and we give you the evidence to decide for yourself, including how you can go and spend the night in the room where it happened.
Topics Included- Andrew Borden's fortune, and his refusal to spend a cent of it on his own family
- The 1891 house robbery and the household's growing paranoia and distrust
- The pigeon massacre and the Ferry Street property dispute that split the family in two
- The morning of August 4, 1892, and the unexplained two-hour gap between the murders
- The Fall River police's botched investigation and their first, wrongful suspect
- Lizzie's shifting testimony, the burnt dress, and the poison purchase ruled inadmissible
- The 1893 trial, the skulls brought into court, and the fast acquittal
- What happened to Lizzie, Emma and Bridget Sullivan afterwards — and what you can actually do at the house today

1 hr 9 min - Nasubi: The Real Life Truman Show
Nasubi thought he had agreed to a private television challenge. What he didn’t know was that millions of people were already watching him, alone, hungry and completely naked.
In 1998, the aspiring comedian was taken to a bare Tokyo apartment and told he had to survive entirely on prizes won through mail-in sweepstakes. No food. No clothes. No running total. To finish A Life in Prizes, he had to win goods worth one million yen.
And while the door to the apartment was technically unlocked, what was keeping Nasubi hostage was the fact producers had taken his cloths and the belief that leaving would destroy his only chance at a television career. As the weeks became months, producers broadcast his most private and vulnerable moments, They published his diary and more shockingly they kept moving the finish line. The wild part is Nasubi had no idea millions of people were watching. all while he remained unaware that he was famous.
This is the story of Japan’s so-called real-life Truman Show, the ethics of early reality television, and how Nasubi rebuilt a life after an experience that left him struggling to trust other people.

1 hr 17 min - The Tromp Family Mystery: The Australian Family Who Fled Their Own Minds
In 2016, five members of the Tromp family fled their farm in a single car, leaving behind their passports, credit cards and mobile phones. Why they fled remains one of Australia's greatest modern mysteries—a mystery that not even the Tromp family can fully explain.
Over the following week, the family scattered across two states. One son, Mitchell, abandoned the journey and caught a train home. Two daughters, Riana and Ella, stole a car near the Jenolan Caves before reporting their own parents missing more than 100 miles away. Riana was later found catatonic in the back of a stranger's pickup truck. Their mother, Jacoba, turned up wandering the streets of Yass, while their father, Mark, disappeared into bushland.
Today, we retrace the family's bizarre road trip, examine the many theories—from contaminated water and cults to supernatural cave spirits—and explore the explanation psychologists keep returning to: “folie à deux”, the rare condition in which one person's delusions spread to those closest to them. It's a remarkable true story about just how fragile—and contagious—the human mind can be.
Topics Included- what happened in the Tromp family disappearance
- the empty farm, the abandoned passports and the missing Peugeot
- the frantic drive north and the phone thrown from the window
- the Jenolan Caves and the folklore surrounding them
- why the family scattered one by one across two states
- Riana found catatonic in a stranger's pickup
- the theories, from farm chemicals to cults to cave spirits
- folie à deux and the science of shared psychosis
- the Eriksson twins and other real cases of shared delusion
- how the Tromps were found and what they said afterwards

1 hr 6 min - MKUltra: The Dark History of CIA Mind Control and Frank Olson
A man falls from a New York hotel window. The CIA calls it suicide. Decades later, the story starts to look much darker.
MKUltra is one of the most disturbing secret programmes in CIA history: a Cold War attempt to find out whether drugs, hypnosis, interrogation, sensory manipulation, and psychological pressure could break the human mind and reshape it. At the centre is Frank Olson, a biological warfare scientist who was secretly dosed with LSD at a CIA retreat and died days later after falling from Room 1018A of the Hotel Statler.
But Olson’s death is only one part of the story. This dark history moves from Nazi research and Operation Paperclip to Project Bluebird, Project Artichoke, Sidney Gottlieb’s LSD experiments, Donald Ewen Cameron’s psychic driving, Operation Midnight Climax, destroyed records, congressional hearings, and the questions that still refuse to die.
Because MKUltra was not just about mind control. It was about secrecy, power, and what governments are willing to do when “national security” becomes the magic phrase that makes human rights disappear.
Topics Include
- what MKUltra was and why the CIA created it
- Frank Olson’s death at the Hotel Statler
- Cold War brainwashing fears and Project Bluebird
- Project Artichoke and CIA interrogation experiments
- Sidney Gottlieb and CIA LSD testing
- Donald Ewen Cameron and psychic driving
- Operation Midnight Climax
- destroyed MKUltra records and surviving financial files
- Rockefeller Commission and Church Committee revelations
- the unresolved questions around modern influence and control

1 hr 33 min - [REVISIT] Lucy Letby: The Evidence, the NHS Failures, and the Question That Won’t Go Away
Lucy Letby was convicted as Britain’s most prolific child serial killer, but the case has never stopped raising questions.
At the Countess of Chester Hospital, a sudden rise in neonatal deaths and collapses led consultants to suspect a young nurse who seemed impossibly ordinary. The prosecution said the pattern was clear: insulin poisoning, alleged air embolisms, overfeeding, suspicious notes, Facebook searches, hospital documents under her bed, and one nurse present again and again.
But this Lucy Letby case does not end neatly at conviction. We look at the medical evidence, the shift chart, the NHS failures, the role of expert testimony, and the later claims from specialists who argue that natural causes or poor care may explain far more than the trial allowed.
This is British true crime at its most uncomfortable: if Lucy Letby is guilty, a hospital failed to stop her. If she is innocent, the failure is even harder to face.
Topics Included
- lucy letby and the countess of chester hospital
- the rise in neonatal deaths and unexplained collapses
- the insulin evidence involving baby f and baby l
- air embolism, overfeeding, and medical evidence
- the shift chart used against lucy letby
- hospital management and nhs safeguarding failures
- the handwritten notes and hospital documents found at her home
- why some experts question the conviction
- the criminal cases review commission and possible appeal questions
- the emotional impact on the babies’ families

1 hr 34 min - [REVISIT] Michael Jackson: From Gary, Indiana to the Biggest Star Alive
A boy from a two-bedroom house in Gary, Indiana becomes the most famous human being alive. But the same childhood that built Michael Jackson may also be the thing that began to break him.
In Part 1 of this two-part story, we go back to the very start: a steelworker father with stalled musical dreams, a houseful of children, and rehearsals enforced with belts and fear.
From talent-show wins to a Motown deal, from the Jackson 5 to "I Want You Back" topping the charts, Michael's rise is explosive, and so is the pressure. We follow the road from disco and Off the Wall to the record-shattering Thriller, the moonwalk that stopped a room, the Pepsi fire that left lasting damage, the billion-dollar music catalogue, and the appearance that kept changing under the world's gaze.
By the time he buys Neverland and the first allegation surfaces, the King of Pop's story has already turned. Music history, family, fame, and the cost of all three.
Topics Included
- How a boy from Gary, Indiana became the King of Pop
- Joe Jackson's brutal rehearsals and the abuse allegations within the family
- The real story of who discovered the Jackson 5
- The Motown years and four consecutive number-one hits
- Off the Wall, Thriller, and the moonwalk at Motown 25
- The 1984 Pepsi commercial fire and the start of a painkiller dependency
- Buying the Beatles catalogue and the billion-dollar fallout with Paul McCartney
- Why Michael Jackson's appearance changed, including vitiligo and surgery
- Neverland Ranch and the first allegation that changed everything
