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?

When ex-Bunny girl Jayne Gaskin spots the desert island of her dreams for sale online, she decides to risk it all. Trading in their English village home, Jayne and her family relocate to their own private paradise, just off the coast of Nicaragua. And a reality TV crew follows them to film a new show, No Going Back. But soon they all discover that paradise has its secrets. The locals claim the island belongs to them, and it’s been sold illegally. Jayne’s not leaving without a fight. A fight that will soon turn deadly.

Customer Reviews
Screams of laughter and your new biggest fan - greeting from Johannesburg 😁
Omg - you two are so much more than a True Crime podcast- you are a comedy act and talk show all rolled into one! Having sped through all the other good True Crime shows, I stumbled onto Redhanded and its my new favourite thing! I have been listening on many a doggy walk, traffic in loadshedding, ( can you swear on a review? FML!) and your podcast does make it bearable. I frequently laugh out loud at your jokes and if I met you two in a pub, it would definitely be a shots kinda night! Thank you, you two lovelies! Yvonne from Johannesburg! PS - I was in Sandton Woolies and definitely had an eye out for Thabo Bester! 🤣snort.
Better late than never.
I just discovered this show and was immediately hooked. Even though the sound quality from their (early) closet days is not the greatest, the content is gold. Their approach is professional but still highly entertaining. Their authenticity combined with in-depth research makes for a podcast that never disappoints. If you are a serious true crime fan but don’t enjoy overly scripted or “full of tangents“ shows, this is a podcast for you.
Absolute Favourite & Hannah’s Laugh
I came across Redhanded accidentally earlier this year, and what a happy mistake.
Absolute favourite, started listening from the first episodes as I wait for the latest episode.
Interesting cases, curious insights, good discussions!
I feel it is important to note, I listen to podcasts on 2x speed, and one of the best things: Hannah’s laugh at 2x speed 😂
