  • Summary

  • Throughout the 1980s, Satanic cults were widely believed to be preying on children — torturing and terrorizing them as part of dark rituals. Across North America, there were hundreds of false allegations, scores of unjust criminal trials and countless lives torn apart. But never any real proof. By the early 90s, the panic reached the tiny Prairie town of Martensville, Saskatchewan. And nearly 30 years later, the people touched by it all are still picking up the pieces. So what happened? And why do so many still believe to this day? Uncover: Satanic Panic investigates. For the best in true crime from CBC, ad-free, visit apple.co/cbctruecrime.

  • Satanic Panic Introduces: The Six Billion Dollar Gold Scam

    Satanic Panic Introduces: The Six Billion Dollar Gold Scam
    May 27 2024

    It was the biggest gold discovery in history...until it wasn’t. In 1995, Canadian mining company Bre-X announced to the world it had found a significant amount of gold deep in the jungles of Indonesia. Stock prices soared as investors worldwide fought to stake their claim. But when Bre-X’s chief geologist mysteriously fell from a helicopter over the jungle, the story of the billion dollar discovery began to unravel. Nearly three decades later, no one has ever been held accountable. In the new podcast, The Six Billion Dollar Gold Scam, host Suzanne Wilton takes you from the jungles of Indonesia to small town Alberta, Canada, to investigate what really happened and find out more about the man behind the biggest goldmine fraud of all time. Produced for the BBC World Service and CBC by BBC Scotland Productions. More episodes are available at: https://link.chtbl.com/9CSp5nOS

Fascinating look at a Canadian mass hysteria

This is an incredibly well done look at a small town case of mass hysteria. It takes a compassionate and careful look into how and why this criminal case happened. I cannot recommend this enough, it’s become one of my favourite true crime podcasts

Awful narration.

I couldn’t get more than a few minutes in, because the slow and ludicrously melodramatic narration of the host is unbearable. She constantly pauses for dramatic effect ant puts excessive emphasis wherever she thinks she can get away with it. It’s the way I would expect a 12-year old to read it.
