  2. Worse Than Murder

    29 AUG

    Worse Than Murder

    Lauren Layfield introduces Worse than Murder on the series recommendation show, Your Next Podcast. In the winter of 1969, Muriel McKay, the wife of Rupert Murdoch's deputy chairman at News Limited, was abducted from her home in Wimbledon, Southwest London. The kidnap was a shocking case of mistaken identity – the kidnappers claimed "We tried to get Rupert Murdoch's wife [Anna]. We couldn't get her, so we took [Muriel] instead". Sadly, Muriel was never seen again. ‘Intrigue: Worse Than Murder’ is a new podcast from BBC Radio 4 which tells the story of what happened the night Muriel was taken, and in the days, months and years that followed. It was an unprecedented case that obsessed the nation, baffled a police force, and led to the biggest manhunt of its day as the Metropolitan police raced against the clock to find Muriel. But the kidnapping of Muriel McKay was something else too: a story that helped make the British tabloid press into the kind of beast we know today. Using intimate testimony from members of the McKay family and previously un-broadcast recordings of telephone conversations with the kidnappers, Worse Than Murder sensitively explores the impact the abduction has had on Muriel’s family for 54 long years, and what it tells us about the tabloid press at a pivotal moment in its history.

  5. Dangerous Memories

    8 AUG

    Dangerous Memories

    Lauren Layfield introduces Dangerous Memories on the podcast recommendation podcast - Your Next Podcast. When Sarah watched her 23 year old daughter cycle away from her in Chelsea - a well-off corner of London - she had no idea it would be the last time they’d see each other for 6 years. What would make a loving child from a life of privilege suddenly sever ties with friends and family, and vanish?  It turns out, Sarah wasn’t alone in losing a daughter. Something strange was happening to other young women, too. And they all had one thing in common: a kind of therapist figure - a woman they were all seeing and sharing their problems, their secrets, their fears with. But it took years for the truth of what was happening behind closed doors to emerge, and the extraordinary things this woman led them to believe. Dangerous Memories is the story of young women who wanted to be healed that became, for us, a story about the healer, and what we risk when we let someone else into our mind, and our memory.You can follow Dangerous Memories and listen to all of the episodes on Tortoise+, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music or wherever you get your podcasts. https://podfollow.com/tortoise-investigates

    Lauren Layfield introduces Coatbridge on the podcast recommendation podcast - Your Next Podcast. For decades, Sandra Brown’s life has been intertwined with someone she has never met: an eleven year-old girl named Moira Anderson – who disappeared from their hometown of Coatbridge, Scotland, in 1957. It became one of the oldest cold cases in Scottish history. Sandra lived just around the corner from Moira. She grew up hearing about the missing girl, whose memory haunted the town. But she never imagined that, one day, she would be the one trying to uncover what happened. Or that her search for answers would reveal secrets and lies so close to home. In her own words, Sandra tells the full story, of a lifetime spent confronting doubt and resistance. Can she break the silence and find the truth? And how much pain will it cause? You can listen to Coatbridge on Audible: https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Coatbridge-The-Disappearance-of-Moira-Anderson-Audiobook/B0D81JPDP6

  8. Boom! from The Economist

    18 JUL

    Boom! from The Economist

    Lauren Layfield introduces Boom! on the podcast recommendation podcast - Your Next Podcast. Why are two old, unpopular men the main candidates for the world’s most demanding job? It’s the question John Prideaux, The Economist’s US editor, gets asked the most. And the answer lies in the peculiar politics of the baby boomers. Since 1992, every American president bar one has been a white man born in the 1940s. That run looks likely to span 36 years - not far off the age of the median American. This cohort was born with aces in their pockets. Their parents defeated Nazism and won the cold war. They hit the jobs market at an unmatched period of wealth creation. They have benefitted from giant leaps in technology, and in racial and gender equality. And yet, their last act in politics sees the two main parties accusing each other of wrecking American democracy. As the boomers near the end of their political journey, John Prideaux, The Economist’s US editor, sets out to make sense of their inheritance and their legacy.  You can subscribe to Boom and listen to all of the episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or The Economist app.
