Membership is informal. Discretion is not.
In this on-location series, Angus Blair and David Ludlow take you inside the real rooms where espionage history was made โ the corner tables, hotel suites, smoky clubs and quiet side streets where spies exchanged envelopes and empires quietly shifted.
These are not fictional thrillers. These are the real stories of charming traitors, elegant double agents and the cities that made them.
New city. New spy. Same bad behaviour.

In 2001, Leslie Preer was found brutally murdered, her body left in the shower of her home in the wealthy suburbs of Washington, D.C. Investigators initially set their sights on Leslie’s husband as the prime suspect — until bombshell DNA evidence revealed the presence of an "unknown male" at the scene. With extensive access to the original police tapes and interviews with the cold case detectives who worked to solve the crime, Blood and Water tells the story of a decades-long wait for justice for Leslie’s daughter and the cutting-edge investigative techniques that finally caught the killer.
A six-part series from 20/20 and ABC Audio, hosted by Stephanie Ramos. New episodes Tuesdays. -

You think you know evil? Think again.
If Ted Bundy sent shivers down your spine, brace yourself for Christopher Wilder โ the serial killer who was even more cunning, even more hypnotic, and whose reign of terror is far from over.
He was the ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing: tall, handsome, seemingly respectable โ the Australian-born son of an American war hero. Behind this polished exterior lurked a ruthless predator. For 20 years, this wealthy businessman and race car driver stalked America's most beautiful women. Someone's daughter. Someone's sister. Girls who never made it home.
Now we're finding them. Catching Evil is an explosive eight-year field investigation spanning two continents that refuses to stay buried in the 1980s. This isn't just another cold case podcast โ this is a live investigation. As hosts Andy Byrne and Mark Llewellyn dig deeper, they uncover new bodies, new victims, and shocking evidence that connects one of Australia's greatest unsolved murder mysteries to a serial killing rampage across America.
This is victim-driven true crime at its most authentic and unflinching. We're giving voice to the forgotten girls, honouring their stories, and standing alongside the families still devastated by one man's evil decades later. Because lives are still being destroyed. Justice is still being denied. Their stories matter. We can't let them be forgotten.
Join the chase for truth. Leave us a rating and review to let us know how you're experiencing their stories.
Catching Evilโข is a production of Sticky Toffee Media and hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information

In 2003, 14-year-old Charlene Downes mysteriously vanished from her hometown of Blackpool. Chilling stories started to spread. And when two men are arrested for murdering Charlene, they are accused of cutting up her body โ and using her remains as kebab meat.
The story of what happened to this young girl has haunted Blackpool for more than twenty years. It has twisted and turned, taking in police, paedophiles, and far-right protests. But not all is as it seems โ and so much of this story remains hidden in the shadows.
Broadcaster Nicola Thorp is the same age as Charlene. She grew up in Blackpool too. Now, Nicola is revisiting this case โ to uncover the truth, and the lies, about what really happened to Charlene.
After all, Somebody knows Something.

The night before Halloween 1975, 15-year-old Martha Moxley was found bludgeoned to death outside her family’s home in the tony Greenwich, Connecticut, enclave of Belle Haven. The local police, used to dealing more with traffic stops than a high-profile murder, grappled with a lack of forensic evidence – or a motive. They had their suspects of course. The creepy neighbor. The eldest teenage son of the Skakel family next door. The Skakel children’s burly tutor. But without concrete evidence or a confession, the case stalled out. For decades, it remained unsolved and it seemed like no one would ever be charged with her killing. But then, a series of improbable events involving, among others, Dominick Dunne, William Kennedy Smith, and Mark Fuhrman, compounded to deliver the public a new suspect – 39-year-old Michael Skakel, who’d been 15, like Martha, at the time of the crime. The arrest made national headlines – and not just because Michael Skakel was an accused killer. He was also a cousin of the Kennedys. Skakel’s 2002 high-profile murder trial was a media feeding frenzy. Reporters wondered – would this rich, privileged son of a scion get away with it? Despite flimsy evidence and witnesses with questionable backgrounds, a jury convicted Michael. For many, it felt like a fitting end to the Moxley case. Finally, justice was served. Sentenced to 20 years to life in prison, Michael Skakel, who’d always proclaimed his innocence, fought for his freedom. In 2018, his conviction was overturned – and prosecutors declined to re-prosecute. Innocent in the eyes of the law, Michael remains guilty in the eyes of many. Where does the truth lie? Dead Certain: The Martha Moxley Murder, is an immersive, fresh take on this infamous case. The series is hosted by veteran journalist Andrew Goldman, hired a decade ago by Skakel’s cousin RFK Jr. to research a book about the case. But after the book was published, Goldman found he couldn’t let it go. New episodes every Tuesday through January 20, 2026.

This is the story of a mass-murder that divided a nation - a story that began in a rickety old home on a cold June morning in 1994, where five members of a seemingly ordinary New Zealand family were gunned down. There were two suspects. One lay dead from a single bullet to the head. The other was the only survivor: David Bain. Since then the country has asked: who killed the Bain family? David or his father Robin? In this podcast, Martin van Beynen explores the case from start to finish, picking through evidence, the mysteries and motives, and interviewing never-before-spoken-to witnesses. He seeks to finally answer the question: Who was the killer?

Once the most revered philanthropist in New Zealand arts, James Wallace’s world started crumbling when a young man accused him of sexual assault.
After the emergence of more victims and a six-year legal battle, Wallace was convicted of multiple crimes, no longer able to keep name suppression and stripped of his knighthood.
The case raised major legal questions about the justice system, its treatment of abuse victims and name suppression laws.
It also forced the arts sector to examine whether it had turned a blind eye to Wallace’s offending, in return for millions of dollars worth of patronage.
Featuring new in-depth interviews, including Wallace’s only media interview since conviction, this is the story of his rise and fall, crimes and punishment - and his survivors.
Warning: The Artful Dodger podcast contains references to sexual abuse. Some listeners might find this distressing. Click here for where to get help in New Zealand.
