Introducing Codename Badger

Saison 1

mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Durée 01:55

In 1955 young army major Robbie Mills dies, disembarking a submarine docked at Torbay Harbour in Devon.

His superiors say he was drinking and slipped from the gangplank in inclement weather. His widow, Josephine, has no reason to disbelieve them. But within weeks a man knocks on her door. He introduces himself as Captain John Cottell, and he tells Josephine that Robbie’s death was no accident, and Robbie was a spy.

It’s a meeting that will change Josephine’s life forever.

Now journalists Eugene Henderson and Andy Clark help Josephine’s daughter Nicky solve a mystery that has spanned five decades. Who was John Cottell? And what really happened to her father?

Episode's out weekly from Tuesday 20th January, or binge the whole series on Patreon from 13th January.

Introducing... Project Mind Control

dimanche 12 avril 2026 • Durée 27:47

A shocking investigation into decades of controversial psychological experiments that attempted to erase and reprogram the human mind. Project Mind Control begins with the harrowing story of Lana Ponting, one of the last-known survivors of one of Canada’s most notorious psychiatric institutions, The Allan Institute. Her memories are fractured but what she remembers is enough to expose something far bigger than one hospital.

From the makers of Codename Badger, criminal psychologist Dr Julia Shaw follows Lana’s story into a shadow world of covert CIA involvement, missing Indigenous children, and allegations that orphaned and vulnerable kids were supplied for experimentation. This is episode one, for the rest of this series search for Project Mind Control wherever you get your podcasts or go to https://alwaystruecrime.komi.io/
