In Conversation with Clair McGowan: Ireland's Vanishing Triangle

<p>Between 1993 and 1998, eight women went missing from an area around Dublin that became known as the ‘Vanishing Triangle’. Was there a link? Speculation abounded. There were whispers of a serial killer, responsible for some, if not all, of these cases. But nobody was ever brought to justice.</p><p><br></p><p>Twenty years later, the brutal murder of Jastine Valdez disturbs crime novelist Claire McGowan into action. </p><p><br></p><p>Reminded, like many in Ireland, of those previous missing women, McGowan brought her skills as a novelist to the real world, setting out to uncover the truth of the vanishing triangle. As she dug deeper, she found something terrible lurking behind the idyllic image of rural Ireland and the 21st-century success story of the ‘Celtic Tiger'. </p><p>In this exclusive interview, Claire speaks with the girls about her brand new Audible Original: 'The Vanishing Triangle', and in which attempts to uncover new evidence and solve the many questions surrounding Ireland's Vanishing Triangle. </p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/50846926/">This interview is available in video form for all $10+ Patrons right now!</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA/videos">Subscribe to our YouTube channel</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Vanishing-Triangle-Audiobook/B08WHXYQZT">Claire's incredible Audible Original: 'The Vanishing Triangle' can be found here</a> </p><p><br></p><p>Follow Claire on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/evawoodsakaclairemcgowan/?hl=en">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/inkstainsclaire">Twitter</a></p>  <br><p>See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

In Conversation With Emily Kenway: The Truth About Modern Slavery

<p>Emily Kenway is a writer and activist. As a former advisor to the UK's first Anti-Slavery Commissioner she was at the heart of modern slavery action. She has written for a variety of publications including the <em>Guardian</em> and <em>TLS</em>.</p><p><br></p><p>In 2019, over 10,000 possible victims of slavery were found in the UK. From men working in Sports Direct warehouses for barely any pay, to teenaged Vietnamese girls trafficked into small town nail bars, we're told that modern slavery is all around us, operating in plain sight.</p><p><br></p><p>But is this really slavery, and is it even a new phenomenon? Why has the British Conservative Party called it 'one of the great human rights issues of our time', when they usually ignore the exploitation of those at the bottom of the economic pile? <em>The Truth About Modern Slavery </em>reveals how modern slavery has been created as a political tool by those in power. It shows how anti-slavery action acts as a moral cloak, hiding the harms of the 'hostile environment' towards migrants, legitimising big brands' exploitation of the poorest workers and oppressing sex workers.</p><p><br></p><p>Blaming the media's complicity, rich philanthropists' opportunism and our collective failure to realise the lies we're being told, <em>The Truth About Modern Slavery</em> provides a vital challenge to conventional narratives on modern slavery.</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://www.plutobooks.com/9780745341224/the-truth-about-modern-slavery/">Emily's incredible book '<em>The Truth About Modern Slavery'</em> is available via this link </a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Emily on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thisisemilykenway/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/emilykenway">Twitter</a> </p><p><br></p><p>The video version of this interview is available on Patreon for all $10+ Patrons.</p><p><br></p><p>For more information about our Patreon and to follow on social media <a href="https://linktr.ee/RedHandedthepod">please follow this link</a></p>  <br><p>See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy">acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>

Roch Thériault held a vice-like grip over his loyal followers, so tight that they would abandon their children to his surgical madness, and so firm they would abandon their partners for his harem.
