    Hollywood Con Man
    Jun 11 2026
    He had the trailers. He had the real law-enforcement locations. He had photos of himself grinning beside power players in Washington. The one thing Joseph Medawar didn't have was the show — a patriotic prestige drama about the Department of Homeland Security that he raised millions to produce, and that never aired a single frame. This week, Jonathan and Cooper trace how a B-movie producer in Los Angeles turned a TV series that didn't exist into the most convincing performance of his career — and how long it took the people writing the checks to realize the only thing in production was the con itself.

    The Runaway Bride
    May 28 2026
    Four days before a 600‑person Georgia wedding, a churchgoing bride laces up for a quick jog and disappears, leaving her keys and three‑carat ring behind like she’s been plucked out of her own love story. As search teams flood the town and the FBI closes in on her fiancé, a call from hundreds of miles away blows apart the kidnapping tale and leaves everyone wondering whether Jennifer Wilbanks was running for her life…or from it.

    May 27 2026
    Dr. Harini Bhat is a clinical pharmacist and storyteller obsessed with the moments in history that still can't be fully explained. Every week she investigates real events that defy easy explanation. Mass hysterias. Vanished civilizations. Medical oddities. Strange signals. Unexplained phenomena that keep repeating across centuries, as if history is trying to tell us something. Hidden History doesn't dismiss ancient events as myth or superstition. It treats them as open case files, shaped by the limits of knowledge, technology, and record-keeping. Because the unknown isn't a failure of explanation. It's a constant in human experience, one that evolves, repeats, and sometimes deepens the more we learn. New episodes drop every Monday.

  • Mountain Man Mike

    Mountain Man Mike
    May 21 2026
    A reclusive “mountain man” in the Montana backcountry lives off the grid with his wolf‑dogs and a stack of trespass complaints, convinced the rutted dirt track to his cabin is his to control. When he disappears and dismembered remains in garbage bags surface along a lonely mountain pass, the bad blood on Turk Road suddenly looks less like a neighbor dispute and more like the start of a chilling question: who decided this feud would end in murder?

    May 15 2026
    Kouri Richins has been sentenced — and we're breaking down every detail with Annie Elise. But first, Cooper and Jonathan share the wild ride that got Kouri here. Convicted of aggravated murder for poisoning her husband Eric with five times a lethal dose of fentanyl, Kouri faced either 25 years to life or life without parole. The prosecution asked for the maximum — and Eric's own sons said they're afraid of what she'd do if released. Annie Elise (Serialously, 10 to Life) joins us to break down the verdict, the victim impact statements, the sentencing decision, and what comes next — including the expected appeals process.

  • Evil Twin

    Evil Twin
    Apr 30 2026
    In a quiet Irvine apartment complex, a 911 call about a home invasion brings police to two women bound in a bathtub and a blue Mustang outside, where the driver calmly insists she’s the victim inside - until officers realize she’s her identical twin. What begins as a bizarre break‑in quickly twists into an alleged murder‑for‑hire plot between sisters, and the real question becomes how a normal sibling rivalry ever curdled into a plan to erase your own double.
