| 8/28/26 | The Epstein Scandal Won’t Go Away | A lot more Epstein-related files are expected soon on two fronts, and independent journalist Ellie Leonard is back on the show to explain why the unsealing of documents in the Virginia Giuffre-Ghislaine Maxwell suit could be so potentially explosive, and how they could help us move closer to accountability. Ellie also has the latest in the Katie Phang lawsuit for unredacted files, including key interviews related to Donald Trump and his alleged abuse of Jane Doe 4, a teenaged girl in the 1980s.

| 8/21/26 | Virginia Giuffre's Life and Legacy | Another trove of Epstein-related documents are set to be released soon, from the late Virginia Giuffre’s successful defamation suit against Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre’s widely known for her fearlessness in taking down some of the world’s most powerful people, but few knew about her private battle at home, and her painful final months in Australia. This week, Elise and Jena sit down with Australian journalists Mel Fyfe and Carla Hildebrandt to discuss Giuffre’s heroism, secret struggles, and the justice that she was ultimately seeking.

| 8/14/26 | The Mysterious Deaths of Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends | At least 22 people connected to Jeffrey Epstein have died under either somewhat suspicious or super sketchy circumstances. Among them are Epstein himself, Ghislaine Maxwell’s father, two modeling agents, and two higher-ups at Deutsche Bank. This week, writer and comedian Ginny Hogan does her reading and brings us her research on these deaths, and explains why they deserve more scrutiny (and in some cases, why they aren’t so suspicious after all).

| 8/7/26 | Trumpworld’s Other Sex Trafficking Scandal, with Brian Beutler | The Trump administration may be on the verge of a “second Epstein scandal” that could prove “worse” in some ways, according to this week’s guest, political journalist Brian Beutler. Brian, Elise and Jena discuss the alarming abuse of girls and women at the hands of right-wing influencers the Tate Brothers, the striking (and perhaps not well-known) similarities with the Epstein operation, and Trump world’s significant ties with both.

| 7/31/26 | Covert Affairs with Murtaza Hussain | Was Epstein a spy? Our guest says he didn’t need to be. Instead, investigative reporter Murtaza Hussain of Dropsite News explains how Epstein was far more powerful by using his contacts as a kind of global “fixer,” facilitating security agreements and arms sales for Israel, working with Emiratis to further their interests in Africa, establishing a backchannel between Israel and Russia during the Syrian Civil War, and more. Hussain unpacks the way Epstein was a player in a “replacement establishment” — allowing him to make end-runs around traditional governmental institutions and operate largely above the law.

| 7/24/26 | The British Component: Disorder Podcast Cross-Post | If you can buy a royal seal of approval — like Jeffrey Epstein did with former Prince Andrew — you get the keys to some of the most influential people in the world. In today’s crossover episode from our friends across the pond at the Disorder podcast, host Jason Pack is joined by British historian Andrew Lownie, author of the Sunday Times bestseller, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York. The pair look at what made Andrew’s personality so easily corruptible, how Andrew’s narcissism and megalomania were fueled, and why there could be more nasty revelations about what the royals have been up to yet to come. Plus, they discuss making the royal family more accountable, transparent, and better at serving the British people. Elise and Jena will be back next week.
