Season 2, Episode 4: Ian Watkins (Lostprophets) | One of the Most Disturbing True Crime Cases

Ugh, beauties—this is your warning: this episode is extremely dark. This week, we cover the case of Ian Watkins, former lead singer of Lostprophets, and the shocking crimes that went unchecked for far too long. It’s a devastating look at celebrity, power, and how systems can fail to act—even when warning signs are repeatedly reported. This is one of the most disturbing cases we’ve ever covered, involving serious crimes against children. Listener discretion is strongly advised. If this topic is too much, we completely understand—feel free to skip ahead to our beauty segment at 1:21:44 (yes, it’s a long one).
