A kidnapped child whispers dark secrets from his past into a cassette tape in a language no one around him understands. Decades later, that lost cassette tape resurfaces and reveals the terrifying truth that he’s not the person everyone thinks he is. What happens when the life you made collides with the life you lost? Stop Rewind: The Lost Boy tells the true story of Taj, a child in India who was taken from his family and sent to an adoptive family half a world away. Taj never forgot who he really was – or that he was taken. But without the language or tools to return, and with no one who understood his story, the details faded, and Taj’s past was quietly boxed away . Told through rare original recordings, immersive sound design and unforgettable first-person testimony, Stop Rewind is a story of a stolen childhood, the quest for truth, the triumph of love and the long road to belonging. This ten part series is published weekly on Mondays, but all episodes available early and ad -free to subscribers on Apple Podcasts.

A 19th-century empress chases eternal beauty, while a 20th-century thief risks everything to steal her crown jewel. Their fates are fixed to the same dazzling treasure: a perfect cluster of diamonds, the Sisi Star. Empress Elisabeth of Austria loves that star. She uses it to defy the rules of her time and carve out her own legacy of beauty and power. Its pursuit drives her to her very limits. And when petty crook Daniel Blanchard spies the jewel, it's the challenge he's been waiting for. His plan to steal it is high-stakes: a daring night-time parachute jump. If he can get his hands on the star, he knows it will launch him into the criminal big-leagues. His exploits unleash a relentless game of cat-and-mouse, as a determined police team tracks Daniel across continents – even as time and again he vanishes from their grasp.
