  • UPDATE: Will Bryan Kohberger Actually Get A Trial?
    Jul 31 2026

    Bryan Kohberger is now claiming his innocence in the Idaho Student Murders.
    And he wants a trial to prove it.

    A year after admitting to the horrific murders of University of Idaho students Kaylee Gonçalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin back in November 2019, Bryan Kohberger has done yet another U-turn by seeking to withdraw his guilty plea.

    In a petition claiming his lawyers failed to disclose “exculpatory evidence” and pushed him to make a false confession, Kohberger stated that “actual innocence is my truth”...

    But does Kohberger have a valid argument? Or is he just playing another sick game?

    Hannah and Suruthi break down the latest bizarre twist in the case in this mini-episode.

    And for our full coverage of the Idaho Murders case, make sure to listen to Episode 280 in our RedHanded catalogue.

  • ShortHand: Lili’uokalani - The Last Queen of Hawai’i
    Jul 24 2026

    America the beautiful: from sea to shining sea! (...Plus a bunch of random islands 2,000 miles away in the Pacific Ocean.)

    The story of why these seven Polynesian islands became part of the US of A is a wild one, taking in a slew of sweet-toothed sugar barons, a pinch of rampant colonialism, and one heroine who refused to let her culture die. When a white militia surrounded the palace of Queen Lili’uokalani, she was ready to spill her “last drop of blood” for the Hawai’ian people. This is the ShortHand.

  • ShortHand: Alcatraz – Escape from Devil's Island
    Jul 21 2026

    When the night guards passed Frank Morris’s cell, in San Francisco’s “inescapable” island super-prison, Alcatraz, he seemed to be sleeping soundly. But what they saw was a dummy head made of plaster, soap and real human hair. And Morris was already making his way to the shore – and his homemade raft, stitched together using 50 prison raincoats.

    This week we look at the history of the US’s big bad citadel in the war on crime; its most infamous inmates; and find out if anyone ever really escaped The Rock.
