  The Tragedy of the Titanic 11.09.2026 54min

  11.39pm, 14 April 1912: A grand new Ocean liner, the RMS Titanic, cruises across the North Atlantic. It’s 4 days into a weeklong voyage from Southampton to New York. Most of the passengers have returned to their cabins after the evening’s dinner, music and socialising. Experienced merchant sailors Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee man the crows nest, 29 metres above deck level. Frederick is the first to spot the dark and terrifying mass ahead of them. He immediately rings the warning bell three times and phones down to the ship’s sixth officer James Moody, warning… "Iceberg! Right Ahead!" Within hours the ship would be at the bottom of the ocean and nearly three quarters of its passengers and crew would be dead.Guest: bestselling author, historian and creator of the hit podcast series Titanic: Ship of Dreams, Duncan Barrett.Buried Evidence is brought to you by The Crime Desk.

  St. Brice's Day Massacre 04.09.2026 33min

  This story begins not on a battlefield, but beneath one of the most prestigious colleges in the world. In 2008, excavations at St John’s College, Oxford uncovered a mass grave of thirty-five men, buried without ceremony. Nothing about the burial looked normal. These weren’t individuals laid to rest. They were dumped. Bodies overlapping, limbs twisted, no sign of burial rites. And then the injuries become clear. Deep cuts to bone. Fractured skulls and the signs of burning. This wasn’t a disease. This wasn't a famine. This was premeditated violence. And it might just be the physical evidence of a forgotten event recorded in medieval chronicles — The St Brice’s Day Massacre of 1002.Buried Evidence is brought to you by The Crime Desk.

  The Original Serial Killer 04.09.2026 39min

  We tend to think about serial killers as being a modern phenomenon, but in France during the Hundred Years War, we find the story of a monster straight out of a horror film. A sadist, who kidnaps and murders young children to sacrifice them to the devil. In perhaps our darkest case yet, we investigate Gilles de Rais. Military hero, comrade to Joan of Arc, wealthy aristocrat and… the most depraved of serial killers? Buried Evidence is brought to you by The Crime Desk.
