Trevors Episode 4 of Season 2 is here! In this episode, Rach tells us the story of the baffling case of Noel and Marie Brown, a father and daughter found murdered in Deptford, South London, under circumstances that seem more suited to a crime thriller than real life.

Was Noel targeted because of his past? Was it a grudge, a gambling win gone wrong, or something else entirely? And how did Marie, a devoted mum just trying to check on her dad, end up caught in this grim scenario? With no signs of forced entry and a trail of theories that twist and turn like Deptford’s backstreets, we explore the investigation, the evidence, and the questions that still leave everyone scratching their heads.

This week, we delve into the life and baffling death of Christopher Marlowe, Elizabethan playwright, suspected spy, and Deptford's most controversial tavern guest. From his ground-breaking plays like Dr Faustus to the rumoured espionage and heretical whispers that surrounded his life, Marlowe was nothing if not intriguing. But was his death really just an overreaction to splitting the bill (or as we now call it, “The Reckoning”), or was there something far more sinister afoot?

Rach and Han chat through the many theories—from political assassinations to espionage gone awry, and even the wild suggestion that Marlowe faked his own death and moonlit as Shakespeare. Naturally, there’s some side-questing into pubs that stood the test of time, why Deptford will always be iconic, and how to ensure your friends don’t murder you over mozzarella sticks.

Pour yourself a drink, settle in, and join us for this romp through history.

Episode 2! After some debate over whether Hannah is secretly joining a Juice Plus cult, we're diving into a case that's as shocking as it is heartbreaking: The Lambeth Slavery Case.

This week, we're unravelling the story of Aravindan Balakrishnan - better known as "Comrade Bala" and his radical Maoist cult that turned into a house of manipulation and mind control in Brixton South London. For over three decades, three women lived under his psychological grip, isolated from the world, and subjected to cruelty disguised as ideology.

We explore how political ideals spiralled into paranoid, control and abuse, the bravery it took to break free, and the system that allowed this to happen for so long. It's a story of strength, resilience and the ultimate fight for freedom.
