  S2 EP14 WHAT'S HIDING IN VINCE'S GARAGE? 19.02.2026 31mnt

  You know those moments when you think you’ve reached the end of the story……and then someone opens a dusty cardboard box and you realise you’re actually just getting started?This episode begins not in Thailand.Not on WhatsApp.Not in a bar with a man in full Admiral whites.It begins in a garage.Specifically, retired detective and criminologist Professor Vince Hurley’s garage.Inside? Old case files. Notes. Clippings. Things packed away but never quite forgotten. The kind of paperwork that doesn’t shout… it just waits.And when we start going through those boxes together, something becomes very clear:Patterns don’t disappear.They just gather dust.In this episode of The BADmiral, we step back in time. We look at what was known, what was said, what was documented — long before this podcast existed.

  ⚓️ S2 | E13 — X MARKS THE SPOTWhat happens after the season airs?In this episode, Sarah Ferris returns to The BADmiral with new developments and reflections that surfaced once the main investigation was already out in the world.As more people came forward and new information emerged, this episode explores what becomes visible in the aftermath — why accountability is often elusive, why many people never report what they’ve experienced, and why uncovering a potential con can feel like trying to catch smoke with your hands.This is not an episode about declaring guilt.It’s about what surfaces once belief collapses, and what the system does — or doesn’t — do next.With thanks to Alex Turner‑Cohen for her journalistic input and contribution to this episode.While this episode sits outside the main arc of the season, the conversation isn’t over.Subscribers will receive additional bonus content, continuing the discussion and expert insight raised throughout The BADmiral.Subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Patreon to make sure you don’t miss it.🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts | Join on PatreonThe BADmiral is a long-form investigative podcast by Sarah Ferris, examining how alleged deception can hide in plain sight — and why capable, experienced people can find themselves inside something that doesn’t fully add up until it’s too late.🔎 Themes: investigative journalism · reinvention · manipulation · belief · power · psychology · trust · resilienceAll episodes of The BADmiral are available now — stream them ad-free and with bonus content:🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts | Join on PatreonFollow @conmunitypodcast on Instagram for the latest updates, behind-the-scenes insight, and ongoing developments.Subscribers also get access to exclusive seasons & bonus content including: 🎙️ The Tonka Trilogy – bonus season to Conning the Con 💰 Klooghless – The Long Con – full series ad-free + video extras (where available)📺 Subscribe on YouTube for videos from all Sarah Ferris Media podcasts → YouTube.com/@SarahFerrisMediaThe BADmiral is Season 2 of CONmunity Podcast (from Sarah Ferris Media) — an independent investigative true-story series exploring trust, belief, and the fine line between ambition and illusion.🌐 SarahFerrisMedia.com🎙️ Explore our other shows: Stop the Killing — with former FBI agent Katherine Schweit Watching Two Detectives — true crime told by those who solved it Guilty Greenie — sustainability without the guilt trip Klooghless – The Long Con — an award-winning investigation into New Zealand’s largest financial deception The Bravery Academy — stories of courage and resilience✳️ Now part of CONmunity Podcast (formerly Conning the Con) — from Sarah Ferris Media, telling true stories that explore how belief and ambition intertwine.Don’t Miss What Comes NextAbout the Series🧭 LISTEN NEXT🌊 ABOUT CONMUNITY PODCAST Hosted on Acast.

  A ship without a captain can drift — but what happens when someone new quietly takes the helm?In this episode, Sarah investigates how IntSAR evolved through three distinct lifespans: its founding as a small charitable company, its transformation under Peter Cowell’s leadership, and its sleek modern relaunch years later. Each version carries the same crest, motto, and mission — but behind the surface lies a changing cast of characters and unanswered questions.From archived websites and corporate filings to interviews with those once involved, The BADmiral explores how legitimacy can be borrowed, how old structures can hide new intentions, and how the line between purpose and pretense can blur at sea.Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series.
