On 18 January 1982, Imelda Marcos walked up a red carpet in peacock feathers to open the first Manila International Film Festival. Hollywood stars were there. Champagne flowed. The Greek-style temple on Manila Bay was supposed to make the city the Cannes of the East.Two months earlier, in the middle of the night, part of the building had collapsed on the workers racing to finish it. Rescuers weren't allowed in for nine hours. Some say well over a hundred men died, and that some were never recovered. The architect said seven. Nobody has ever published a list of names.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-monday-night-revue--4921180/support.Don't miss an episode - follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with me on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at [email protected] our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

A case I swore I would never do because it's just so awful but when you visit Illinois on a tour of the US States by true crime and paranormal cases it's sort of hard to avoid. This episode comes with all the trigger warnings though I do try to avoid the gory detail it is not for the fainthearted - for lack of a better word, there is no judgement that comes with having to skip this episode. Before he was known as one of America's most notorious serial killers, John Wayne Gacy was a respected local contractor, an active member of Democratic politics, and a familiar face at children's hospitals — where he performed in a clown costume he'd made himself.In this episode of our A-Z of the United States series, we land on Illinois and the case that came to define it: the disappearance of fifteen-year-old Robert Piest, the investigation that followed him back to an ordinary house in Norwood Park Township, and the twenty-nine bodies eventually recovered from beneath it. We go back through Gacy's childhood, the six years of murders that preceded his arrest, and the warning signs — neighbours, employees, a survivor's own detailed report to police — that were there long before anyone connected them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-monday-night-revue--4921180/support.Don't miss an episode - follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with me on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at [email protected] our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

In 1990, a convicted murderer walked out of an Austrian prison to a hero's welcome — celebrated by novelists, praised by a future Nobel laureate, held up as proof that even a killer could be remade into an artist. Five months later, women started disappearing again.This episode traces the double life of Jack Unterweger: the "Poet of Death" who charmed Austria's literary elite, worked as a journalist covering the very murders he was committing, and left a trail of victims across four countries before a single, distinctive knot finally connected all of it back to him. We're telling this one the way it should have been told the first time — with the women at the center of it, not the man who got the bestseller.🔞 Discussion of violent crime, sexual assault, and murder.
