Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm Seruti and we are the hosts of a Redhanded, a weekly true crime podcast.

Every week on Redhanded, we get stuck into the most talked about cases.

From the Idaho student killings, the Delphi murders and our recent rundown of the Murdoch saga.

Last year, we also started a second weekly show, Shorthand, which is just an excuse for us to talk about anything we find interesting because it's our show and we can do what we like.

We've covered the death of Princess Diana, an unholy Quran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, the gruesome history of European witch hunting, and the very uncomfortable phenomenon of genetic sexual attraction.

Whatever the case, we want to know what pushes people to the extremes of human behaviour.

Like, can someone give consent to be cannibalized? What drives a child to kill? And what's the psychology of a terrorist?

Listen to Redhanded wherever you get your podcast, so access our bonus Shorthand episodes exclusively on Amazon Music, or by subscribing to Wondry Plus in Apple Podcasts or the Wondry app.

Hey, I'm Cassie Depeckle, the host of Wondries against the odds.

In our next season, Amelia Earhart wants to make history by flying across the Atlantic alone, but brutal weather and malfunctioning equipment could leave her lost its sea.

In summer of 2014, I was working as a consultant on the turnaround of American apparel and I was staying in Los Files and I was walking and I stopped at Skylight Books there in Los Files, which is one of my favorite independent bookstores, great little bookstore.

I actually seen Robert Green do a book signing there many, many years ago, and I saw in the window a book called Dying Everyday and it had a picture of Seneca on the cover and I totally didn't know this book was coming out and I rushed it and I got it and I read it.

This is by a book by James Rom and it's an incredible book. It's a biography of Seneca, but it really focuses on Seneca in Nero's Court and all of the contradictions and dilemmas and temptations and excesses that they have.

It was a sort of an eye opening heart wrenching book for me because I so admired Seneca and sort of only sort of knew about his service for Nero's kind of footnote and really see it in full color and grew some detail was obviously a little disillusioned, but it was also sort of also sent me into some personal introspection.

Seneca's complicity in Nero's regime and his explanations for it and his idea I'm doing good even in a messed up situation was somewhat analogous to the time that I'd spent at this sort of controversial company over the years where I'd work with this sort of singular sort of equally unaccountable figure who ran his company kind of like an imperial court and was guilty of excesses and dysfunction.

But you know how to good heart and it done bad things and you know is someone naive or they complicit or they collaborate or they actually a check against you know further excesses.

It was just the you know the absolute right book for me at the right time it opened my eyes to a lot of stuff. It made me think and question it.
