Episode 347 - Daniel Morcombe & the ‘Mr Big’ Plot
When a 13-year-old boy, out shopping for Christmas presents, disappeared from a bus stop in Australia’s Sunshine Coast, police were initially slow to suspect foul play. They had no idea what this investigation would become.
The revelations that would come over the next decade would spark one of the country’s largest ever police operations. And in its dramatic climax, it ended in one of the most controversial investigative techniques we’ve ever covered – the very ethically murky “Mr Big”. -
Episode 346 - David Berg & The Children of God - Part 2
If you thought Part 1 was bad – just you wait. Last week we talked about the origins of one of the world’s biggest cults. And this time, we look at how that influence and control bedded down – and seduced so many of the most famous people in the world.
We’re talking about sex magic, incest, chid abuse, demonic possession, and Fleetwood Mac. It’s time to close the book on the Children of God.

ShortHand: The Bone Wars
Espionage, treachery, sabotage, pistols, explosives… if you thought the history of palaeontology was just dusting off dry old bones – think again.
This is the crazy true story of naturalists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh, who sacrificed everything in order to become bone daddy number one. -
Episode 345 - David Berg & The Children of God - Part 1
Communes, propaganda and child abuse are not uncommon in the world of cults. But what made David Berg and his “Children of God” so unique was the effectiveness of their implementation.
In this first of two episodes on one of the biggest and darkest cases we’ve ever covered, we talk about the rise of arguably the world's most “successful” cult, and what made the man who made the monster.

ShortHand: Atlantis
The mythical lost island of Atlantis has puzzled historians for millennia, with its powerful technology, advanced society, and crystal powered weapons of mass destruction. Or has it?
While the lost kingdom was first mentioned by none other than Plato several millennia ago, its existence as a real tangible place has only been taken remotely seriously for the last couple of hundred years. So what turned the tide and led to an allegory for the importance of a well run government turning into a full blown aquatic conspiracy?
