For years, women were vanishing from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside… But the police refused to admit it. In the first of a two-parter on the grisly crimes of Robert ‘Willie’ Pickton, we uncover the investigation into the missing women, the community whose cries for help went unheard, and the systemic failures that kept the authorities from discovering what was really going on at the pig farm from h...

There has been a heatwave suffocating Europe and Suru (with the rest of the UK) is struggling. Hannah has had a hot probe to the cervix. AND if you've never understood the offside rule (because men like to make simple things sound complicated) – our Football pundit Maguire breaks it down for us 💞

When one of Brazil’s most promising footballing talents was accused of ordering the kidnap of his mistress (and her subsequent murder, dismemberment, feeding to dogs and entombing in concrete by gangsters), it felt certain he would be locked up for life. Or, at the very least, slightly hinder his career. But not only is Bruno walking free – he’s also still playing football to this day. -- Patreon...

WORLD CUP FEVERRR is truly here!!! ⚽️🏆🎊💃 H&S share their favourite moments so far, discuss the controversial hydration breaks, and Suru tells a funny story from the 2018 tournament when the South Korea team had a trick up their sleeves to confuse the opposition... They also talk about the tragic case of 21-year old Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas, who fell to her death bungee jumping in...

Give us an I-N-F-A-N-T-I-N-O, and what do you get? A large lump sum donation to your National Football Federation in return for your vote in the next FIFA presidential election… allegedly. This week it’s chants, chaos, and corruption as Hannah and Suruthi discuss the arrival of the 2026 FIFA World Cup (now featuring dynamic pricing).

They say money can’t buy happiness… And that certainly proved true in 1972, when Tony Baekeland – heir to the Bakelite plastic dynasty – plunged a knife into his mother Barbara’s heart in their London penthouse. But behind the lurid headlines lay a trail of dysfunctional family secrets, taboo mother-son incest and twisted DIY conversion therapy: all washed down by a toxic cocktail of wealth and ex...

How does one end up at the bottom of table mountain with no shoes? Listen to this week’s Under the Duvet to find out, as Hannah explains the somewhat humiliating chain of events. On a sadder note Suruthi runs us through the utterly tragic death of Henry Nowak, how it came to be, and what needs to change.

This week on Under the Duvet Suruthi gives us a rundown on the mysterious disappearances of several scientists working on clean energy in the USA and who might want them out of the way.

Two chainsaws and a paddling pool; a very public relationship; along with a litany of texts and Discord messages, all pointing to one thing: David “D4vd” Burke killed Celeste Rivas Hernandez. In the eyes of the public, it was that simple. And yet, it took prosecutors seven months to arrest and charge Burke with Celeste Hernandez’s death, even after her body was found decomposing in his car. Why? -...

Note: This is May's Patreon bonus episode – apologies again for the delay! Noriko Shizuka’s disappearance seemed impossible. Setting off on a three-minute walk to a crowded shrine, on one of the busiest days of the year, with no sign of commotion or upset, she vanished. Not a shred of evidence was ever found. All of which leaves one intriguing possibility: Noriko wanted to disappear. This week we...

In this episode, Suru shares her thoughts on the Netflix documentary EVERYONE is talking about 'The Crash' (SPOILERS: 17:10 - 46:35) , and on a lighter note, Hannah talks about the beauty of language and shares some quotes from her favourite linguist.

Please note: Suru's audio laptop mic without realising, we've fixed the audio as much as we can, but apologies in advance! In this episode, H&S reflect on the difference between South African culture and London life, Suru gives a rundown on the bizarre JP Morgan sex abuse lawsuit that is hitting the headlines and all over socials, and she recommends a new horror film to see at the cinema 🫣🍿

We’re back from our little break ❤️ This week, it’s a classic Under the Duvet catch-up. Suru’s home from South Africa with her experience from the trip, while Hannah dials in from Cape Town, including one extremely squeaky-bum, very-on-brand ordeal 🐆⚠️

14 years after Leo Schofield was wrongly imprisoned for the murder of his wife, the world finally learned the truth about whose fingerprints were found in Michelle’s abandoned car. But even this unbelievable twist, and a shock confession from a known killer - still wasn’t enough to free Leo. In this second part, we look at how this cold case finally warmed up, thanks in no small part to the journa...

After Hannah shares some more deep-dive stories from the wonderful world of whales, Suru shares some increasingly bonkers updates from the constantly evolving story (and growing rap sheet) of David ‘D4vd’ Burke. Plus: a way-too-intense Jesus pamphlet and a very grim story from a cruise ship. Then, it’s time for a big reveal: Hannah’s got a secret to tell…

Trapped in a soundproof underground bunker, sleeping in a coffin-shaped box, abused and forced to watch news footage of her December 1992 disappearance on a loop, 10-year-old Katie Beers wondered if she’d ever see the world outside her makeshift prison ever again… But one thing her captor didn’t know? Katie was a survivor.  This is the story of a little girl who fought against the odds – and manag...

Plymouth childcare worker Vanessa George was seen by parents as an “angel”. But in June 2009, police discovered she’d sent hundreds of photos of herself sexually abusing the children in her care to Colin Blanchard: her online lover who shared her sick appetites. A trail of barely-concealed evidence led the authorities to a twisted amateur paedophilia ring across the UK – and forced the public to o...

This week we’re discussing our initial thoughts on the recent arrest of  David ‘D4vd’ Burke and his charges relating to the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Hernandez who was found dead in the musician’s Tesla last year.  If that wasn’t grim enough Hannah has some unsettling facts to share about CNN’s recent investigation into ‘Motherless’ and the sheer number of individuals visiting the depraved web...

In the summer of 2017, 26-year-old Anna Sorokin was arrested in Manhattan with a stack of unpaid hotel bills and fraudulent loan requests in her wake. She’d been calling herself Anna Delvey: an uber-wealthy German heiress. In reality? She didn’t have a penny to her (fake) name. Armed only with an untraceable accent and a passion for fashion, Anna tried to pull the designer wool over the eyes of so...

Mystery, mayhem, and death followed Michael X all the way back to Trinidad. Hacked to death and left in shallow graves, the bodies of Gale Benson and Joseph Skerritt were found at Michael X’s house.  Whispers of black magic and rumours of espionage rippled through the island. How could a young, wealthy British socialite like Gale Benson end up buried alive in the Caribbean? And why would Michael X...

Last week Rex Heuermann unexpectedly pleaded guilty to eight murders and confirmed himself as the Gilgo Beach serial killer. This week we discuss the impact that Heuermann had on his own family, whether they knew about his horrific crimes, and where they stand on his innocence, especially now that he’s confessed. Will his wife Asa continue to stay by his side, regardless of his vile actions? So fa...

Malcolm X was a true revolutionary, Michael X was an imposter. This con man realised that politics was a lot easier than poetry and rose to the top of the British Civil Rights Movement. All the while violently exploiting the Windrush generation he claimed to be fighting for. John Lennon and Leonard Cohen were his biggest fans. They donated thousands to Michael X's projects that never actually happ...

Did you know that whales can rhyme? Or that that we're back in a space race? Or that the BBC have covered up yet another wrong'un? To be fair you probably could have guessed that last one, but the first two are genuinely quite surprising and very interesting! Listen to all that and more in this week's journey Under the Duvet.
