June 18, 2018 • 22 mins
This is the greatest show!* No, not the podcast, but the life and times of famed showman P.T Barnum on which the Hugh Jackman film 'The Greatest Showman' is based upon. Jack is on hand to give Katie the low-down of what really happened all those years ago. Yes, there was an elephant called 'Jumbo'. No, no-one was fit like Zac Efron.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
