Once deemed “an enemy of Mother Russia” by an FSB agent, Christopher Steele was high up in secret intelligence circles at the start of Vladimir Putin’s rule. After 22 years serving Britain at MI6, Chris compiled an explosive report on the influence of the Russian secret state on then Presidential Republican candidate Donald Trump. Trump denied it all and Britain’s quiet man in the shadows was thrust into the media’s spotlight. He was in deep, deep trouble. For exclusive bonus content visit...

It's changed her forever and now she's trying to find a way to carry on. One in five women will be victims of stalking in...

"The nightmares are intensifying, I can't sleep properly anymore. I'm getting pains. I'm struggling to cope. And then the nightmare comes to life. He's here, the only place I have left to be safe - and he's found me. Is this the beginning of something much worse?"

"I've accepted I'm being stalked - but I don't know how much danger I'm in. He's following me everywhere, getting closer to my home. And if he finds out where I live, what happens then? He's sitting on the wall outside my work, clutching a bag. What is in that bag?"

Shelagh Fogarty began her LBC career as a guest presenter in 2014, and her balanced and calm presenting style soon earned her a permanent role. Heartbreakingly, it was this calm approach which led to the most harrowing ordeal of Shelagh's life, when a man stalked her for nearly 2 years. In 2017, Shelagh began to notice the same face appearing in crowds, on the tube, outside her work. She dismissed it at first, but then the appearances became more and more frequent and noticeable - he was...

Conspiracy theories are swirling around like never before – tormenting mistrust, infecting our politics, and even tearing families apart. But Brit Award-winning comedian Jolyon Rubinstein and investigative journalist James Ball are here to save the day. Or at least try.

If you enjoyed Hunting Ghislaine then there’s a new podcast we think you’ll enjoy. It’s called Power: The Maxwells. Everyone’s heard of Ghislaine Maxwell (Jeffery Epstein’s alleged partner in crime). But there’s a shadowy figure who hangs above her who you likely don’t know: her father, media tycoon Robert Maxwell. His rise from nothing to fall… from the deck of his super yacht under mysterious circumstances is straight out of a crime novel. His favourite daughter Ghislaine’s theory: her...

The final episode in the series looks at the dark fairy tale that is the life of Ghislaine Maxwell. She started out a rich and beautiful princess. She is now ina rat-infested cell in a New York prison known as The Tombs, awaiting trial on charges she denies. How could the fairy tell end like this, or is this the end?

In 2019 Epstein is arrested and then dies in prison. The authorities say suicide, some suspect that he did not kill himself. And Ghislaine? She vanishes. How is it possible to disappear in the twenty first century? In this episode we hear from a former FBI Special Agent who explains how people can hide and how they can be caught.

Prince Andrew can’t explain why a photo of him exists with his arm around the waist of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, then 17, with Ghislaine looking on inside her mews flat in London. However, he does explain why he stayed in Epstein’s Manhattan mansion in 2010 after the American had been convicted of having sex with an under-age girl. But he’s viewed by many as unconvincing. In this episode we look at what possible favours passed between those allegedly involved?

Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book is packed with the names of the rich, famous and powerful. But how did no one know what was happening behind the scenes? Did Ghislaine’s black book and her friendships with the likes of Donald Trump who said: “I wish her well” and Bill Clinton provide an aura of respectability that prevented proper scrutiny?

Multiple young women say they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. A smaller number say that Ghislaine Maxwell abused them along with Epstein - she denies all allegations. Victims also accuse Ghislaine of running the machine that served Epstein and that she was the real mastermind behind his actions.

This episode looks at the first monster in her life: her father, Robert Maxwell, a liar, a thief and a sadist. He named the yacht he fell from after her: The Lady Ghislaine.
