A British army major's secret life uncovered decades after his death has left a family reeling. Robbie Mills, 55 at the time of his death in 1955, was allegedly involved in espionage. A man named John Cotell emerged from the shadows, claiming to be a friend and fellow spy. This true-crime investigation reveals how Cotell insinuated himself into Mills' life after his apparent accident on a submarine.
Mills had been married with two children, but it appears he led a double life. Cotell's arrival at his home was a turning point, sparking a chain of events that would change the lives of Mills' family forever. The podcast 'Codename Badger' delves into this shocking story, shedding light on the complex web of deceit and betrayal.
Meanwhile, another woman has been found to have escaped from prison 30 years ago with an assumed identity. Margo Freshwater was given a life sentence for her involvement in a killing spree, but after escaping, she managed to evade detection. Her family declared her dead, unaware that their loved one had been living a separate life.
The podcast 'The Crimes of Margo Freshwater' is an almost unbelievable tale of survival and deception.
In another shocking case, Kerri Cunningham's podcast 'A Moment With Murphy' offers a unique space for parents to share their thoughts on various topics, including the loss of children. Cunningham reads her own musings while playing acoustic guitar, then conducts intimate interviews with parents who are willing to open up about their personal struggles.
This week, we also have the excellent podcast 'Happy To Be Here', hosted by Greta Johnsen, a safe space for geeks and book lovers alike. In one recent episode, Johnsen offered insightful advice on how to improve reading habits and discussed her own favorite books of 2026.
Lastly, Pulitzer winner Anne Applebaum is exploring the alarming rise in US Immigration and Customs Enforcement's custody numbers. Her podcast series examines how the country's tough stance on immigration has drawn parallels with its earlier "war on terror".

and the way they manipulate those around them is just mind-blowing too... i mean, we're talking espionage and prison breaks here! it's like something out of a movie 
I just listened to that true-crime podcast 'Codename Badger' and it got me thinking, life's not always what it seems right? Robbie Mills was living a double life, sneaking around like a spy, while his family thought he was just a regular bloke. It's crazy how one person can lead so many different lives. And then you have Margo Freshwater, who managed to escape prison and start a new life without anyone even knowing... it's like she reinvented herself! 
. Decades later, someone shows up claiming to be a friend and the whole thing blows wide open 
. And what's even crazier is that there are these other stories about people who escaped from prison and assumed new identities... it's like they're living in their own little worlds 
. But you know what really gets me? These podcasts, like "A Moment With Murphy" and "Happy To Be Here", they're giving a voice to people who need one, especially those struggling with loss or identity issues 
. And I love how Anne Applebaum is shedding light on some really tough topics, even if it's uncomfortable to listen to 
.
It's like something out of a spy novel. I'm also fascinated by Margo Freshwater's story - 30 years on the run is crazy 
.
. And the fact that his 'friend' John Cotell just appeared at his doorstep and changed everything... it's like something out of a movie 
also that Margo Freshwater case is insane, 30 years on the run and they had no idea
