ShortHand: Should We Support Paedophile Catchers?
To some paedophile catchers like Chris Hansen are online superheroes, protecting children and putting predators behind bars. To others they're vigilantes who enforce their own form of justice while putting people in danger. But do they have a place in the system? This week Hannah and Suruthi are jumping into the murky waters of self styled sting operations, hidden cameras, and entrapment to find out.

Shorthand: Why North Sentinel Island is Forbidden
There is an island in the Bay of Bengal populated by indigenous hunter-gatherers, who live much like our ancestors did some 60,000 years ago. They’ve made it clear they want no contact with the outside world, and in the 50s, India made it illegal for anyone to go within five miles of its shoreline. But a few years ago one man, who thought he was above that rule, snuck onto the island proclaiming to the local tribe that Jesus loved them. He has never been seen again. Hannah and Suruthi explain the background to John Chau’s evangelical mission – and discuss the few people who have successfully managed to connect with this isolated group.

256: Episode 256 – Norwegian Black Metal: Pure F**king Armageddon
The Norwegian black metal scene of the early 90s started with pigs’ heads impaled on spikes, buried clothes wrapped around dead birds, and other notorious onstage antics. In three years, it spiralled into dozens of ancient churches going up in flames, violent bigotry – and the gruesome deaths of three people. In this week’s episode, the girls chart the bloody origins of one band, Mayhem, and how they fostered the most feared music scene in history… Become a patron: Patreon Order a copy of the book here (US & Canada): Order on Wellesley Books Order on Amazon.com Order a copy of the book here (UK, Ireland, Europe, NZ, Aus): Order on Amazon.co.uk Order on Foyles Follow us on social media: Instagram Twitter Visit our website: Website Sources: https://tv.apple.com/gb/movie/until-the-light-takes-us/umc.cmc.1g292qd3qhrj40k63ocy4z6we?action=play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32iX5lbVDto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKX9OjNy_NI https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/mar/22/before-you-know-it-its-not-a-big-deal-to-kill-a-man-norwegian-black-metals-murderous-past https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/exploring-the-real-life-horror-of-90s-norwegian-black-metal/ https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20190213-lords-of-chaos-the-grisly-film-that-has-caused-outrage

But this wasn’t the first time that the paramedics had found a dead body at the Harrison family home.

254: Episode 254 - Jennifer Pan: Tiger Blood
When three masked men entered the Pan family home, it seemed like an opportunistic home break-in. But on closer inspection, things just didn't add up.  Why would the would-be robbers shoot Hann and Bich Pan in cold blood, but leave their 24-year-old daughter Jennifer relatively unharmed? Why didn’t they drive off in the expensive Lexus that was parked in the drive?  And why would Hann Pan run from the house, leaving his daughter tied to a bannister?

ShortHand: Why Madeleine McCann?
When Kate and Gerry McCann put their three-year-old to bed on a family holiday in Portugal, they could never have imagined how the next 15 years of their lives would unfold. The horror of their daughter’s sudden disappearance was followed by the most infamous missing-child case in history. In that time, millions have been raised, and Maddie’s name has barely left headlines. But when more than 600 people disappear without a trace around the world every day, what was it about this story that has kept Maddie’s name in the public eye? On the first episode of our brand new show, we ask: why Madeleine McCann?

253: Episode 253 - Victoria Cilliers: Terminal Velocity
Speeding towards the ground at over 60 miles per hour, former soldier and parachute instructor Victoria Cilliers was about to make history. She would be the first person in over a decade to experience a double parachute failure.  Miraculously, she survived the impact. But when Victoria’s equipment was examined, it became clear there was more to this “freak accident” than met the eye. There were gas leaks, gaslights and grounds to divorce.

But even the well-to-do residents of Southfields couldn't ignore a billowing plume of black smoke and the unmistakable smell of burning hair and flesh.

247: Episode 247 – The 2017 Manchester Bombing
On 22 May 2017, as Ariana Grande hit the high notes of her final song to a sold-out Manchester Arena, Salman Abedi hit the button on a homemade bomb. The resulting explosion killed Abedi and 22 other innocent people, and left over 1,000 more injured.  The country mourned, millions of pounds were raised, and we all promised not to let hate win. But as the dust settled, a worrying question started being asked: how did a known terrorist sympathiser who had fought alongside an ISIL militia slip through the UK’s counterterrorism net?
