About the show

SEIRES 11 - THE MURDER OF ANDREW BAGSHAW: Who murdered Kiwi hero Andrew Bagshaw? New Zealander Dr Andrew Bagshaw went to war-torn Ukraine to help evacuate locals from towns and cities under attack from Russian forces. He rescued more than 500 people before he disappeared during another dangerous humanitarian mission. Award-winning investigative documentary maker Bryan Bruce retraced Andrew's steps and came to a chilling conclusion. The Murder of Andrew Bagshaw is a six-episode podcast series by Bryan Bruce. SERIES 10 - DIAGNOSIS OF A CRIME SEASON 2: THE TRIAL: Listeners are given unprecedented access inside the high stakes criminal trial of a professional athlete, examining whether young parents accused in complex medical cases are receiving fair access to justice. Find out what happens when medical evidence from New Zealand doctors - usually left unchallenged - is put to the test. SERIES 9 - DIAGNOSIS OF A CRIME: Imagine being told that what’s wrong with your child isn’t an illness or an accident, but a crime. Join us for Melanie Reid’s latest groundbreaking investigation, where medicine and law combine, and nothing is quite what it seems. SERIES 8 - THE BOY IN THE WATER SEASON 4: Melanie Reid takes listeners right inside the Invercargill courthouse for every moment as the Coroner delivers his long-awaited findings into the mysterious death of Gore three-year-old Lachie Jones. SERIES 4 & 7 - FRACTURED SEASONS 1 & 2: 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. 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. 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. 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. We follow the money, dig into the crimes, commission our own lab analysis and chase down AG1’s founder to tell the story he didn’t want told.  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.
