There is a new podcast by a well respected BBC investigative journalist John Sweeney. As the title suggests, it is all about Ghislaine Maxwell and is a 6 part series starting weekly from today.

I listened to the first episode and it's very interesting, especially if you are aware of Robert Maxwell and his fall from grace (and the back of a yacht) in 1991. The first episode is about her family and upbringing, entitled Monsters.

Here's some of the blurb...

In LBC’s new podcast Hunting Ghislaine, investigative reporter John Sweeney (Panorama, Newsnight, The Observer) sets out to tell the strange story of Ghislaine Maxwell.

It’s a story both melancholic and macabre; a story arousing pity and disgust; a story of victims and monsters; a story of how some of the richest and entitled people on the planet used their money and power to silence the abused.

The six-episode series (co-commissioned by Global and The Story Lab, part of dentsu Creative) begins with a look at how Ghislaine was deformed by her media tycoon father Robert Maxwell, a bully, a crook and a thief. It reflects on her black book of high society contacts, including Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew, all the while noting the cult-like nature of Epstein and Ghislaine’s world.
