    The Family Business

    For over fifty years, if someone was going to be hanged in Britain, chances were it would be a Pierrepoint holding the lever. Henry, Thomas and Albert Pierrepoint were Britain's most extraordinary family of state executioners — three generations who between them hanged approximately nine hundred people, including Nazi war criminals, British traitors, serial killers, and at least one man who was almost certainly innocent. Albert alone carried out between 435 and 600 executions, perfecting a method so precise he could complete a hanging in under twelve seconds. He hanged thirteen Nazi SS guards in a single day at Hameln Prison in 1945. He hanged the last woman ever executed in Britain. He hanged a man he sang duets with in his own pub. He hanged Timothy Evans — later found to be innocent — and three years later hanged the man who actually committed the crime. In 1956, Britain's most prolific executioner resigned over a dispute about expenses. And in his autobiography, he concluded that capital punishment had never deterred a single murder. This episode covers the full Pierrepoint story — the craft, the dynasty, the cases that shook Britain, and the question of what it means to spend a lifetime perfecting something that turns out to be wrong.

    Eric Edgar Cooke - The Night Caller

    On the night of 27th January 1963, five people were shot across the suburbs of Perth, Western Australia. Four attacks. One night. No apparent connection.It would take months before police understood what they were dealing with. Years before the full truth came out. And decades before two innocent men — wrongfully convicted of crimes committed by the same killer — finally had their names cleared. This is the story of Eric Edgar Cooke. Known as The Night Caller. Australia's last serial killer to be executed. A man whose crimes didn't just take lives — they destroyed them, long after he was gone.In this episode: the victims, named and remembered. The murders that shocked a city. The wrongful convictions of Darryl Beamish and John Button. The rifle left in a bush. And the question of how a quiet, sun-baked city at the bottom of the world lost its innocence in a single night — and never quite got it back. Content warning: this episode contains detailed discussion of murder, wrongful conviction, capital punishment, and violence.

    D is for Digitalis

    In this episode, I explore the dark and fascinating history of digitalis, the powerful toxin derived from the foxglove plant. For centuries, foxglove has been admired for its beauty, growing wild across the British countryside and in cottage gardens, but hidden within its distinctive purple flowers is a substance capable of disrupting the human heart and causing death. From its discovery as a revolutionary heart medication to its reputation as the perfect murder weapon, digitalis occupies a unique place in both medical history and true crime. I examine how the poison works, why it became so attractive to killers, and how its symptoms could easily be mistaken for natural illness, making murder incredibly difficult to detect. This episode also explores the mysterious death of medieval ruler Cangrande della Scala, the notorious Foxglove Murders, healthcare killers who exploited access to medication, and the unsettling possibility that many victims of digitalis poisoning were never identified as murder victims at all.Was digitalis one of history's most effective poisons? And how many deaths attributed to heart failure may have been something far more sinister? Join me as I uncover the history, science, folklore and true crime surrounding one of the world's most beautiful and deadly plants.

    Mia Zapata

    In this episode I explore the murder of Mia Zapata — lead singer of Seattle punk band The Gits — and one of the most haunting crimes connected to the 1990s grunge music scene. In July 1993, Seattle was becoming the centre of the music world. Grunge had exploded into mainstream culture, underground clubs were packed every night and bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden were transforming the city into a global phenomenon. But beneath the neon lights, cigarette smoke and distorted guitar sounds was a darker reality. After a night out with friends, Mia Zapata disappeared while walking home alone through Seattle. Her body was discovered in the city’s Central District. She had been brutally assaulted and murdered in a crime that shocked the music community and remained unsolved for years. Mia Zapata’s murder remains one of the most devastating true crime cases in rock music history. This episode contains discussions of murder, sexual violence and trauma that some listeners may find distressing. Listener discretion is advised. #MiaZapata #TheGits #SeattleGrunge #TrueCrimePodcast #GrungeHistory #SeattleMusicScene #90sGrunge #TrueCrime #RockAndRollTrueCrime #ColdCase #DarkHistory #Nirvana #SeattleHistory #CrimePodcast #WomenInMusic Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-monday-night-revue--4921180/support.

    What happened to Joshua Maddux?

    A boy goes out for a walk and never comes home. Horrible for the family but maybe he had gone to start a new life, follow his dream of playing music. Or perhaps he had perished in the woods around his home in Colorado. For seven years his family were in a state of 'grieving on hold'. But then a body is discovered in a cabin just 2 blocks from the family home, and the story becomes so strange that it is remains unsolved to this day.

    The Great Basin Murders (A-Z of US States - Idaho)

    In this episode we explore the terrifying mystery known as the Great Basin Murders — a series of killings connected to isolated highways stretching across Nevada, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho during the 1980s and 1990s. Women began disappearing along remote truck routes and desert highways before their bodies were discovered in abandoned terrain miles away from civilisation. Investigators initially believed a single serial killer was responsible, but over time the case became far more complicated. The Great Basin Murders remain one of the most chilling unsolved serial killer mysteries in American true crime history. This episode contains discussions of murder, violence, sexual assault and trauma that some listeners may find distressing.
