Gypsy Rose & Dee Dee Blanchard: Munchausen by Proxy, Murder, and Escape
For years, Clauddine “Dee Dee” Blanchard convinced doctors, charities, and neighbours that her daughter Gypsy Rose was gravely ill. Wheelchair-bound, tube-fed, and said to have cancer and muscular dystrophy, Gypsy appeared to be the perfect symbol of courage. But behind closed doors was a world of control and abuse—medical lies fueled by Munchausen by proxy. In 2015, the façade ended in murder. Gypsy and her boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn killed Dee Dee in a desperate bid for freedom, sparking one of the most infamous true-crime cases of the century.The One Minute Remaining LIVE show in Melbourne tix on sale NOWBecome a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

The Wrongful Conviction of Rubin “Hurricane” Carter: A Boxer’s 20-Year Fight for Freedom
In 1966, middleweight boxing contender Rubin “Hurricane” Carter was arrested for a triple murder he swore he didn’t commit. Convicted on shaky eyewitness testimony, Carter’s career and freedom were stolen at the height of his rise. For nearly two decades, he fought the system from behind bars—writing a powerful memoir, gaining support from activists, and eventually winning his release when courts ruled his conviction was driven by racial prejudice and withheld evidence. This is the story of how a champion boxer became one of America’s most famous victims of wrongful conviction.The One Minute Remaining LIVE show in Melbourne tix on sale NOWBecome a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.
