Joe Pistone is an FBI legend. At the height of the Mafia in the 70s, Joe went undercover as Donnie Brasco and embedded himself in the Bonanno crime family, working his way up the ranks until he was about to become a made man. He single handedly revolutionised undercover work and brought one of New York's most prominent mafia family to its knees, with Joe having to live out the rest of his life in witness protection with a bounty on his head. His life is a literal movie. Oh, and he's friends with Johnny Depp. This is Mad That. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Katy Morgan-Davies is a survivor. Born into a reclusive cult in London where her biological father Aravindan Balakrishnan ruled with an iron fist, Katy didn't exist on paper. She had very limited knowledge of the outside world and was trapped inside through abuse and indoctrinated threats of an omnipotent greater power called JACKIE (an acronym for Jehovah, Allah, Christ, Krishna and Immortal Easwaran) that could make disasters happen. It took her 30 years to escape her father's ideological prison and start her life properly. This is Mad That. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
