The Malicious Majesty of Mad Queen Ranavalona

Into the darkened tapestry of Madagascar’s throne, we whisper the name — Queen Ranavalona, the mad monarch of mayhem!

A fitting tale for a throne of such lavish isolation, where loyalty was bought with fear and lives extinguished like the flicker of a candle. Such stories remain a vivid reminder of how the rot of power can fester unchallenged — until it consumes the very kingdom it once sought to protect.

True crime
Foggy gaslit streets. A quiet courtroom. And crimes that history tried to bury. Foul Play is a historical true crime podcast that investigates the most chilling murder cases from the 1800s and early 1900s across the United States and the United Kingdom. Hosted by investigative crime journalists Shane Waters — who pioneered crime podcasting in 2008 — and Wendy Cee, each season unravels one complete criminal case through original research, court records, and primary source material. This isn't sensationalized true crime. Every season of Foul Play puts victims first — their names, their stories, their humanity — before examining how murder investigations unfolded in an era before modern forensics, when justice was far from guaranteed. From Victorian poisoners in London to Gilded Age killers in America, Foul Play brings historical true crime to life with cinematic storytelling and relentless accuracy. Every fact is verified. Every claim is sourced. Every story is told with the gravity it deserves. New seasons of this historical true crime podcast release throughout the year, with episodes dropping weekly on Tuesdays. Hello, friend. Welcome to Foul Play.
