True Crime #200

This is a story about a scam. But this isn’t any old scam. At the turn of the 21st century, set in one of London's most wealthy suburbs, Hampstead, Juliette D'Souza wreaked havoc on a number of people's lives. She became filthy rich, and one of the most prolific con women in British history. Hannah Maguire and Suruthi Bala, the soulmates behind the hit true crime podcast, Redhanded, are on the case. They speak to the reporters who travelled to Suriname to track Juliette down, one of Britain's leading shamans and the victims who came together in search of justice.Full series available now.

    Thoroughly Enjoying
    The ladies at Red Handed did a remarkable job with this podcast. They are extremely entertaining and incredibly informative. This story touched my heart. I wish I could give it 10 stars!
  • MMBuga
    Binge worthy
    I agree with other reviews regarding the great chemistry between the hosts. Sad story told brilliantly. Hope there’s more to come from this duo.

    Compulsive listening!
    Congratulations on a great podcast and really appreciated the empathetic reporting. Maria is a hero! Great chemistry between the two hosts.
  • Mme Savage
    These ladies always do right by the victims.
    This podcast is a deep dive into one particularly vicious, evil hag of a woman. Hannah and Suruthi are, as always, terribly respectful and considerate of the victims, while pulling exactly no punches telling the story. Highly recommend everything they do!
  • Kaksma
    Unbelievably good!
    This is like no podcast I’ve ever listened to. Phenomenal research and editing. Listened to it all—like fellow bingers.

    Binged in one day!
    I loved this even more than red handed. This deep dive is so good. That woman is so evil and it’s good to hear cautionary tales such as this one. Thank you for another stellar journalistic endeavor!

    Binged in One Day
    I love Redhanded and was looking forward to hearing more from my favorite true crime podcasters. The podcast was different from Redhanded, but equally as interesting. Well produced, excellent music, great interviews, compelling story, and presented excellently by Suruthi and Hannah. Please make another season with another fascinating crime!

  • verlor123
    Excellent
    Amazing story well put together and of course delivered by two of the best podcasters in the world! And now back to Redhanded for me!
  • NatNixon
    A story told so well
    Haunting story and so well told! Loved the pairing of the co-producers and the interweaving of 1st person accounts. This true story has such rich and deep characters!: I can see it easily becoming either a documentary or a film- Or both
  • JoeyMarie2436
    Beautifully Done!
    Hannah and Suru—this series is beautifully written and so smoothly produced. I loved the balance between your alternating plot points, cuts from the extant audio, and the audio you and your producers got specially for this series. I sincerely hope you have more series like this in store with Global!
  • Cimmo31

    I’ll listen to anything these ladies make
    I love Redhanded Hannah and Suruthi are a hilarious and smart duo that puts out amazing podcasts. I never write reviews but to support these ladies I made an exception. I will listen to anything these ladies make.
  • Beyblade Bois
    I hope they do another….
    I listen to their other podcast Red Handed and love that, but I think I enjoyed this story/format even more. I hope they do some more long format stories!
  • megspost
    100/5 stars if I could
    Love these two and their content. The long form storytelling was great, loved all the different aspects they worked into this! Incredible/terrifying story.
  • Mollsarella
    A very interesting and sad story, told beautifully.
    This con is horrifying; so many people’s lives were devastated. The podcast tells the story while placing an emphasis on the survivors and the team that worked relentlessly to provide justice for the victims and put the perpetrator in jail. Well done, Red Handed!
  • olive and lexico
    These ladies never disappoint
    If you like intelligent women serving fascinating content in a fresh, empathetic and multi dimensional way, look no further. Been awhile since a truly thought provoking podcast made its way into my feed. 🩵
  • AllNaps
    Great Storytelling
    Thanks for sharing this story. It amazes me how shamelessly people can take from others. Hope you do another one soon!
  • KingLucZA
    Enjoying this!
    Great to hear the Redhanded ladies on a longer podcast, even if they are more serious, which is needed for this crazy story.
  • drenn007
    Well done!
    This was an interesting story from the beginning. But what I really appreciated was the graciousness and care that the Podcasters took with the feelings of the victims. They had a good balance of pointing out the red flags and how far-fetched some of these things were while also showing the reasons and the hows and whys these people might have fallen for these scams.

  • she-beers
    Excellent work!
    Hannah snd Saruti sure know how to tell a story. So enjoyed this, thanks ladies.
  • Kalia Furnari
    What a story!
    This is a crazy story and should be a film! Wonderful work and told very well! Thank you ladies!!💜
  • VyletteFairwell
    Just fantastic, and also intriguing, with a dash of sadness
    I’m already a fan of Hannah a Suruthi from Red Handed and I finally got around to binging this. So sorry I waited this long. It’s different from Red Handed in that they interview and use the voices of the interviewees. Hannah and Suruthi still bring their personalities, but are little less snarky and don’t go off on fun tangents. The voices of the interviewees are fabulous and I suggest you have a pot of tea and summer buns at the ready. The story is incredible, and we’ll told. This also has incredible production value, well edited, good sound, and excellent use of music. 10/10 will listen again a look forward to any other projects they do together.

    Love these girls
    Great story I never heard of! Love the way the story is told! Great for you while your stuck in 45 min traffic to go 8 miles!
  • biondie19
    A fabulously well told and extremely interesting story!
    I only found RedHanded a few months ago. I just finished binging that podcast from start to their most recently released episode and heard Hannah and Suruthi talk about this podcast by them. I started Fillthy Ritual just earlier today and have been listening to it all day, they did a phenomenal job with it! It’s extremely interesting, at times quite funny with absolutely amazing interviews, and other times extremely heartbreaking for all of those involved. I highly recommend giving it a listen!
  • Mightyjoe5280
    Sooo good
    By episode 5 I was literally screaming! Half in nervous laughter, half in absolute vile disgust. The best story telling
  • SunshineAnnie317
    Absolutely riveting!!

    Wild Story!
    Suruthi and Hannah deliver an intriguing story of an audacious conwoman. I hope they do more investigative podcasts in the future!
  • Maddieconsolato
    Great!
    Hannah and Suruthi are my favesss.
  • Nullity
    Good but predictable
    This was a good but predictable podcast. The most enjoyable part was hearing the posh accents. I really need to know if the chiropractor had Acromegaly.
  • Bertsy2U
    Fabulous as Always

  • Yohannan
    Excellent investigative reporting!
    What a story! Excellent job telling this story, reporting the complexity of facts, and researching all the nuances to tell such a twisted story! Oh, and the music is lovely also! Great job!
  • GinkgoGinky
    Heart wrenching complex story
    So beautiful produced and shared!
  • Koejke
    Just Brilliant.
    This show is brilliant! The first episode pulled me in and left me wanting more! It tells like a story, but with interviews. Very, very well done. Bravo ladies 👏👏👏
  • Kaliapad
    Great podcast!
    Started this one early in the morning and plugged in off and on all day! Completely engrossing and a wild ride. So infuriating what greed leads to- the wreckage she caused is hard to fathom. There are a lot of laugh out loud moments to balance out the hard stories. Beautifully produced and written- I absolutely love the hosts. This is a binge so carve out some time and dive in!
  • veryowlsome
    Absolutely fascinating!
    This series was amazing! Captivating and intensely interesting. Highly recommend.
  • Lindsay’s Review
    Love anything by these women!
    I began listening to Redhanded with Hannah and Suruthi last summer in the US as I recovered from the trauma of teaching middle school. I heard about Filthy Ritual, and immediately became bewildered by the cast of characters and their seemingly fictional (but totally real!) experiences. This is an entertaining and bingeable podcast!
  • J.J.20
    Loved this series!
    Thanks for sharing this incredibly unbelievable story with all of us. I can’t even begin to imagine what her victims have gone through, but hope there are more Maria’s in this world. Great job ladies! JJ
  • escheeres
    amazing, as always
    hannah and suruthi always produce fantastic content (as a longtime redhanded listener). they told this insane story incredibly well, centering the victims throughout, and creating an engaging tale along the way. i couldn’t wait for the new episode each week and need another case deep-dive like this!!
  • nikb1024
    Well done!
    Such a sad story that was brilliantly done! The girls should be proud of this one! Give it a listen. You won’t regret it!
  • Sammi1976
    Wow!
    This story is a twisty tail of deception. Could it be a one or two part story? Maybe. But then we’d lose the voices of the victims and other players in the story. What we end up with humanizes what could easily be written off and people believing an unbelievable scam, the way these victims were written off initially. The story enthralling is and the story telling is excellent.
