John Sweeney is trouble. He's taken on Vladimir Putin, challenged Donald Trump, and after months of uncovering hard truths in Ukraine, this old-school reporter is back. John is never silent about what he’s experienced. Sweeney talks, and in this podcast, so do his guests.
 
John speaks to people like him, who are not prepared to be part of the silent majority. They have put their livelihoods and personal reputations on the line to challenge those who run our governments, lead our industries, control our finances and dictate the way we live. They refused to toe the line, and have found themselves in trouble. Big trouble. Activists, agitators, heroes… or villains. You decide.
 
Go to Global Player for exclusive bonus episodes where John offers candid reflections on what he's discovered during each interview, what surprised him and what we can learn from it all.

Sweeney Talks

Ghislaine Maxwell has been charged with helping rich paedophile Jeffrey Epstein sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls – she denies all wrongdoing. This episode looks at the first monster in her life: her father, Robert Maxwell, a liar, a thief and a sadist. He named the yacht he fell from after her: The Lady Ghislaine. Did he form or, perhaps, deform her too?

Hunting Ghislaine is a Global Original podcast written and reported by John Sweeney. Co-commissioned by Global and The Story Lab, produced in association with Chalk & Blade

Hunting Ghislaine: Monsters

Multiple young women say they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. A smaller number say that Ghislaine Maxwell abused them along with Epstein - she denies all allegations. 

Victims also accuse Ghislaine of running the machine that served Epstein and that she was the real mastermind behind his actions. 

In episode two of Hunting Ghislaine we look at the relationship with Epstein after her father, Robert Maxwell's death, and the role she is accused of playing in supplying him with young women.

Hunting Ghislaine: Pimp

Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book is packed with the names of the rich, famous and powerful. 

But how did no one know what was happening behind the scenes? 

Did Ghislaine’s black book and her friendships with the likes of Donald Trump who said: “I wish her well” and Bill Clinton provide an aura of respectability that prevented proper scrutiny?

Hunting Ghislaine: The Black Book

Prince Andrew can’t explain why a photo of him exists with his arm around the waist of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, then 17, with Ghislaine looking on inside her mews flat in London. 

However, he does explain why he stayed in Epstein’s Manhattan mansion in 2010 after the American had been convicted of having sex with an under-age girl. But he’s viewed by many as unconvincing. 

In this episode we look at what possible favours passed between those allegedly involved?

Hunting Ghislaine: Favours

In 2019 Epstein is arrested and then dies in prison. The authorities say suicide, some suspect that he did not kill himself. 

And Ghislaine? She vanishes. 

How is it possible to disappear in the twenty first century? 

In this episode we hear from a former FBI Special Agent who explains how people can hide and how they can be caught.

Hunting Ghislaine: The Lady Vanishes

The final episode in the series looks at the dark fairy tale that is the life of Ghislaine Maxwell. 

She started out a rich and beautiful princess. 

She is now ina rat-infested cell in a New York prison known as The Tombs, awaiting trial on charges she denies. 

How could the fairy tell end like this, or is this the end?

Hunting Ghislaine: Demons

Introducing: The Secret History of Flight 149

Shelagh Fogarty began her LBC career as a guest presenter in 2014, and her balanced and calm presenting style soon earned her a permanent role. Heartbreakingly, it was this calm approach which led to the most harrowing ordeal of Shelagh's life, when a man stalked her for nearly 2 years.
In 2017, Shelagh began to notice the same face appearing in crowds, on the tube, outside her work. She dismissed it at first, but then the appearances became more and more frequent and noticeable - he was there when she met friends, when she travelled across London, at her local train station, and even when he followed her home.??The Followers is a 5-part LBC podcast series where Shelagh talks about the disturbing stages she went through during her stalking: dismissing it, fearing it, and feeling powerless as she was forced to live a limited life. The podcast also included conversations with experts and victims, looking at how societal views, misogyny and popular media tropes may be enabling stalkers to commit crimes without intervention.?
Shelagh wanted to tell her story and to speak with various experts to understand more about obsessive and controlling behaviour, to deal with what happened to her on a personal level and to help others identify the behaviour that can lead to stalking.

Coming Soon: The Followers

"I keep noticing the same face in the crowd. The same face on the train. Is this a coincidence, or am I being followed? And if this guy is stalking me - what does he plan to do? Am I safe? How can I be sure?"

LBC presenter Shelagh Fogarty shares her experience of being stalked, when a listener became obsessed and started to follow her. Stalking pushed her to the edge of coping. It's changed her forever and now she's trying to find a way to carry on. 
One in five women will be victims of stalking in their lifetime. We might think we're safe - but are we really? 

If you think you or someone around you is being stalked, please can the police or the national stalking helpline on 0808 802 0300.

1. Am I being stalked?

"I've accepted I'm being stalked - but I don't know how much danger I'm in. He's following me everywhere, getting closer to my home. And if he finds out where I live, what happens then? He's sitting on the wall outside my work, clutching a bag. What is in that bag?"
