Summary

We’re taking a short end-of-season break (apologies for not giving you a heads-up last week!), so this week we’re revisiting one of the most striking episodes from the Seeing Red archives. This one explores two harrowing cases rooted in the dangerous world of chemsex. They’re dark, disturbing, and every bit as relevant now as when we first covered them. Even if you’ve listened before, it’s the kind of episode that stays with you — and worth hearing again. And here’s the news you’ve been waiting for: Bethan is BACK! Season 14 launches on Wednesday 1 October, with brand new cases and stories that will chill you to the bone. For now, take a deep breath, press play, and step back into the shadows with us.

2:25.6	it's really boring, but yeah, I had vertigo and it was, honestly, it was debilitating. I was in bed
