SEASON 3: Nation of Saints In 1980, one man held together a fragile peace in the tiny nation of El Salvador: Archbishop Oscar Romero. When he is brutally and publicly assassinated on the pulpit, his murder starts a war that would leave 75,000 dead, and a million more displaced around the globe. Sacred Scandal season 3, Nation of Saints, follows host Jasmine Romero as she uncovers the holy war that followed the Archbishop's death, and led to an unsolved murder in her own family. SEASON 2: La Luz del Mundo Sacred Scandal, named one of Podtrac's Best New Podcasts of 2022, embarks on its second season, focusing on Mexico-based megachurch La Luz del Mundo (Light of the World). It tells the story of Naasón Joaquín García, a self-proclaimed apostle, who is currently behind bars after pleading guilty in June 2022 of sexually abusing girls from his congregation. Naasón is currently serving a nearly 17-year sentence, but maintains his innocence. Host and investigative journalist Roberta Garza explores Naasón's control over a multitude of devotees, some of whom now describe their experiences in the church as 'pure evil.' In this true-crime series, survivors share stories about this powerful religious leader and the alleged sexual abuse that followed, many relating to minors. SEASON 1: Two decades ago on a calm, dark Miami night, a nun was stabbed nearly 100 times on the grounds of a prestigious private academy and monastery, by student Mykhaylo Kofel. As investigators started asking questions around this Byzantine Catholic School and the gruesome murder, they found more than just her killer. In a search for answers that stretches into some of the most remote villages of Eastern Europe, they uncovered allegations of sexual abuse, secret letters to the Vatican and other mysteries of faith. Sacred Scandal unravels the fuller picture that came to light in the wake of this crime. Led by a former student, told by those who lived through the aftermath, and Kofel himself, the show pieces together a complicated narrative that, twenty years later, still has those closest to it questioning what they truly believe… including a man who's spent half his life in prison for the crime: 'It's so unbelievable. It definitely wasn't me. I'm not a killer. No way. That's not me.' — Mykhaylo Kofel, 2021 more

On September 28, 2012, Massachusetts state chemist Annie Dookhan was arrested and charged with obstruction of justice and falsification of academic records. Approximately four months later another chemist, Sonja Farak, was arrested for using the drugs she was supposed to be testing and the Massachusetts Drug Lab Scandal was born.Hosts Jamie Folk and Ilyas Rona will be exploring the William H Hinton, UMass Amherst and State Police crime labs associated with this scandal and speak with the lawyers whose clients rights were violated as a result of the fraud committed by the chemists in these labs.

He has obtained over 70k documents from the state and has interviewed several lawyers, journalists, politicians, law enforcement officials and others connected with the case over the past 7 years.Ilyas Rona is a lawyer who represented a man sent to prison by Dookhan and another Hinton lab chemist for possessing what turned out to be a cashew for two years.

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
