Jess & David [Part 1 of 2]: Different Definitions Of Cheating
When it's just Jess and David, everything is fabulous. But in public, Jess feels like a secret. David doesn't post photos of them, he hasn't introduced her to his family, and she barely knows his friends. Jess is left feeling like a "side piece," good enough for him, but not for his image. In this session, a couple confronts the painful gap between their private connection and their public life. They’re facing different definitions of what constitutes cheating, a history of trust issues, and the raw feeling of being ashamed by the person you love.

A Diva Disappears | 1
A promised exclusive interview with the world's most notorious OnlyFans star turns into a cross-continental wild goose chase when Bonnie Blue vanishes on the eve of her biggest PR blitz. Journalist James Weir finds himself aboard a $30,000 private jet with her eccentric inner circle — a manager hiding his true identity, a publicity team spinning wild stunts, and an innocent 21-year-old sister who has just traded her supermarket uniform for Louis Vuitton. As the jet zooms toward Las Vegas, secrets spill faster than champagne, revealing the calculated machinery behind viral celebrity and the multi-million-dollar business model of modern scandal. From diamond necklaces with questionable histories to death threats requiring ex-military security, this is unprecedented access to an empire built on controversy. After exposing all of herself to the world, why has Bonnie suddenly disappeared?

Coming October 30th - Armchair Expert's Monica Padman always wondered why her favorite podcasters, Elizabeth and Andy, abruptly ended their show years ago. She assumed they'd say the usual - they got burnt out or busy with other things, but the truth was a story so shocking and creepy that she knew they had to make a show about it... What she couldn’t have expected is that in listening to their true life cautionary tale, she'd take on the role of a real-life Nancy Drew and get wrapped up in the mystery as well.

TRUE CRIME
Witness is the home of investigative podcasts for news.com.au Witness Season 3: Sex, Lies and Streaming OnlyFans promised to change the game and give power back to creators. The reality? Most earn less than $100 a month, while a select few make millions. When news.com.au journalist James Weir set out to interview Bonnie Blue - the controversial British creator who claimed to have slept with over 1,000 men in 12 hours - he expected a straightforward story about viral fame. Instead, he uncovered an industry built on carefully constructed fantasies, bitter feuds, and inequality that mirrors the broader gig economy. From private jets and designer shopping sprees to creators struggling to pay rent, Sex, Lies and Streaming exposes the stark reality behind the glossiest success stories. Through unprecedented access to performers, agents, publicists and industry insiders, Weir follows the money trail from Australia to the neon-soaked halls of a Vegas porn convention and finds out who is really winning in the cutthroat world of subscription porn. What starts as a hunt for one missing internet celebrity becomes an investigation into the true cost of the creator subscription model - where viral stunts generate headlines, public feuds fuel fortunes, and the line between performance and reality becomes increasingly blurred. This series contains mature themes and adult content.
