DELVE SERIES 7 - FRACTURED SEASON 2: In this hard-hitting second season, Melanie Reid and her team take the x-rays that were used to convict a young mother and put them before international experts. Their findings challenge the Starship doctors’ original diagnosis, and ask whether there is a troubling pattern with a medical hypothesis that has led to wrongful convictions around the globe. Fractured Season Two doesn’t just tell one family’s story, it reveals a chilling phenomenon that could have far-reaching consequences. DELVE SERIES 6 – SATANIC PANIC: Peter Ellis, the Creche Case & Me: In never-before-heard interviews, this gripping series takes you inside one of New Zealand’s most controversial legal cases, when a kind of madness gripped Christchurch, resulting in a miscarriage of justice that would take 30 years to put right. Satanic Panic is the first Melanie Reid podcast, now re-released and available on DELVE. DELVE SERIES 5 - POWDER KEG: Some stories grow from a green shoot; some explode like a powder keg. The global supplement market is worth $200 billion a year, and Chris Ashenden is a rock star of the industry. Yet in his home country of New Zealand, nobody had heard of him. Investigative journalist Jonathan Milne wanted to tell his story – but when Chris proved elusive, alarm bells began to ring. Listen to a story that will entangle the biggest names in audio, from Joe Rogan to Andrew Huberman to Gwyneth Paltrow. We follow the money, dig into the crimes and commission our own lab analysis. From the chill of the Southern Ocean to a record Mexican heatwave, from Colombia to the Caribbean, we chase down AG1’s founder to tell the story he didn’t want told.  DELVE SERIES 4 - FRACTURED SEASON 1: A baby taken, a mother jailed, a couple forced apart and facing deportation without their daughter. Crushed by the weight of multiple government departments working in lockstep, what happens when the dream of a new country becomes an unimaginable nightmare? In this new investigation, Melanie Reid and her team take the x-rays that were used to convict a young mother and put them before international experts, who tell us this case is just the tip of the iceberg of a factitious medical phenomenon leading to injustice around the globe. DELVE SERIES 1-3 - THE BOY IN THE WATER SEASONS 1-3: Melanie Reid's chart topping podcast takes you inside a small town harbouring a big mystery. After the lifeless body of three-year-old Lachie Jones is found floating in an oxidation pond in the Southland town of Gore, police rule his death a tragic accident. But nothing is what it seems. Melanie has spent three years covering this case, revealing multiple flaws in the police investigation and uncovering new evidence that casts serious doubt about the circumstances surrounding Lachie’s death. In The Boy in the Water, Melanie unravels the case – and the secrets – in an attempt to find out what really happened to little Lachie Jones.  Sign up to our premium service DELVE+ on Apple, Spotify or your favourite podcast platform.

    SEASON 7 TRAILER

    S7 | Welcome to Season 2 of Fractured

    Step into the gripping world of Fractured, the acclaimed investigative podcast from Melanie Reid, as it returns for its second season. In season 1 we uncovered the harrowing story of a controversial medical diagnosis from a New Zealand hospital, and the devastating chain of events that followed. A baby taken. A mother jailed. A family torn apart. And a couple facing deportation without their daughter. Crushed under the immense pressure of government departments working in unison, this is the story of how the dream of starting fresh in a new country spiralled into an unimaginable nightmare. In this hard-hitting second season, Melanie Reid and her team take the x-rays that were used to convict a young mother and put them before international experts. Their findings challenge the Starship doctors’ original diagnosis, and ask whether there is a troubling pattern with a medical hypothesis that has led to wrongful convictions around the globe.    Fractured Season Two doesn’t just tell one family’s story, it reveals a chilling phenomenon that could have far-reaching consequences.

    S7 | Fractured Season 2 | Bonus Episode: The Syndrome

    We’ll be launching season 2 of Fractured soon, but before we do, we are going to play you some extracts from a US documentary called The Syndrome. It’s a film that challenges the scientific validity of Shaken Baby syndrome and highlights the impact of wrongful convictions on families, featuring a group of doctors who consider the diagnosis to be junk science. It also reveals the history and politics behind Shaken Baby Syndrome in the US, drawing parallels with the discredited Satanic ritual abuse panic of the 80s and 90s.  Also available to read today on newsroom.co.nz is an update on the couple at the centre of our Fractured case. As mentioned in this episode, here are 33 different medical conditions that could be misdiagnosed as Shaken Baby Syndrome: Sickle cell anemia, Meningitis, Vitamin C deficiency, Vitamin D deficiency, Vitamin K deficiency, Lobstein syndrome, Glutaric aciduria, Thrombocytopenia, Cryoglobulinemia, Reye's syndrome, Hemophilia, Dysphagic choking, Marfan syndrome, Von Willebrand's disease, Vascular malformations, Bacterial infections, Viral infections, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Menkes disease, Rickets, Terson syndrome, Osteogenesis imperfecta, Homocystinuria, Sudden respiratory distress, Venous thrombosis, Rebleed of a hematoma,  Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Allagille syndrome, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Congenital heart disease, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, Other natural or accidental causes. Sign up to DELVE+ to get early access to new episodes and listen to all three seasons of our award-winning The Boy in the Water podcast, Season 1 of Fractured, the explosive Powder Keg and Satanic Panic: Peter Ellis, the Creche Case & Me, all ad-free.
