Jeffrey Epstein was a multi millionaire who had political and business ties to some of the most rich and powerful people in the world. From businessmen to politicians at the highest levels, Epstein broke bread with them all. Yet for years the Legacy media and the rest of high society looked the other way and ignored his behavior as multiple women came forward with allegations of abuse. Even after he was convicted and subsequently received a sweetheart deal those same so called elites welcomed him back with open arms. Now after his death and the arrest of Maxwell, the real story is starting to come together and the curtain has begun to be drawn back and what it has revealed is truly disturbing. From Princes to Ex Presidents, the cast of scoundrels in this play spans continents and political affiliations leaving us with a transcontinental criminal conspiracy possibly unlike any we have ever seen before. In this podcast we will explore all of the levels of Jeffrey Epstein and his criminal enterprise. From his most trusted assistants to obscure associates, we will leave no stone unturned as we swim through the muck searching for clarity and answers to some of the most pressing questions of the case. From interviews with people directly involved in the case to daily updates, the Epstein Chronicles will have it all. Just like our other project, The Jeffrey Epstein Show, you can expect no punches pulled and consistent content. We have covered the Epstein case daily(everyday since October 1st 2019) and will continue to do so until there are convictions. With a library of well over 1k shows, you can expect a ton of content coming your way including on scene reporting from the Maxwell trial and from places like Zorro Ranch.

Jeffrey Epstein: The Coverup Chronicles is a podcast dedicated to examining not just who Epstein was and what he did, but how so many people and institutions worked—then and now—to keep it all hidden. This series cuts past the headlines and digs into the documentation: court filings, deposition transcripts, plea deals, sealed exhibits, and the bureaucratic paper trail that still tells the real story. Our focus isn't on speculation or recycled outrage. It's on facts—and the deliberate efforts to keep those facts out of public view. Each episode will feature in-depth analysis of newly surfaced records and underreported legal developments, alongside expert commentary that connects them to the broader machinery of power that shielded Epstein for decades. We'll revisit the timeline from his first arrests through his 2008 plea deal, and into the re-investigations that followed his 2019 death in federal custody. And we won't stop there—we'll look closely at the current state of affairs: the closed probes, the lingering co-conspirators, the civil suits, and the glaring gaps in accountability. What makes The Coverup Chronicles different is that we're not here to sensationalize the story—we're here to document the ongoing concealment of it. This isn't just about reliving Epstein's crimes. It's about following the networks that enabled them, protected him, and continue to obscure the truth. If you want an honest look at what's still being hidden—by whom, and why—this is the podcast that pulls those threads. And I should know—I've spent over six years uncovering every dark corner of this case. My name is Bobby Capucci, and I've dedicated those same six years exposing the truth about Epstein and the powerful figures who enabled him. From on-the-ground investigations at Epstein's Zorro Ranch, where I spoke with insiders, to national appearances on Tucker Carlson, I've followed this story farther than most are willing to go. Who helped Epstein build his empire? Who protected him? And who is still pulling the strings? The answers lie in the shadows of Jeffrey Epstein's criminal empire. . This is the truth they don't want you to hear. And I'm here to make sure you do. more

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a 'woke' controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.' more

Expert history with a wicked twist: Queens, Kings and Dastardly Things is the podcast that goes behind palace doors and beyond the balcony smiles, to uncover the stories that the history books have politely skipped. Queens, Kings & Dastardly Things reveals the schemers, lovers, plotters and even the pets who've made the British monarchy the world's longest-running reality show. Hosts, Royal biographers Robert Hardman and Professor Kate Williams trace how power, passion and paranoia have shaped every crown. There are queens who ruled better than their husbands, and princes who partied harder than their people. We meet saints, sinners and those hovering somewhere in between from the man formerly known as Prince Andrew to the less-vilified Richard III. Sometimes we get reflective: how monarchy survives scandal, how image-making began long before Instagram, and why royal women have always been the best crisis managers in the room. Other times we're just here for the gossip: who wore what, who slept where, and who accidentally started a war over breakfast. Think of it as history with its crown slightly askew. If you like your royal stories with equal parts grandeur and chaos, step into the world of Queens, Kings & Dastardly Things because behind every coronation lies a cover-up, behind every portrait a scandal, and behind every great monarch… a very patient servant wondering how to get the blood out of the carpet.

Actor Justin Baldoni was dropped by his talent agency WME after his 'It Ends With Us' costar Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment and retaliation complaint against him.
