‘This has been the scariest, weirdest and certainly the most important work of my life. It’s been an investigation where lives were, at times, literally on the line, and one that has profoundly altered many of the people who were a part of it’. Carl Miller
The final minutes of the first episode of Carl Miller’s new Wondery and Novel podcast on stumbling across a secret online ‘kill list’ will stop you in your tracks. It’s a remarkable moment of storytelling and reporting – where Carl is forced to cold call innocent members of the public to tell them that someone wants them dead. From that moment the story just keeps getting more dramatic.
The podcast series, which has already reached number 1 in the UK, US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland Apple podcast charts, is an astonishing five-year investigation into the targeting of hundreds of innocent people on a murder-for-hire website. When the police are slow to investigate, Carl has to take it upon himself in a race against time to try and save innocent lives – potentially putting himself and others in danger.
On December 3, Carl Miller and the show’s producers Caroline Thornham and Tom Wright will bring Kill List live to the Intelligence Squared stage in London. Using audio clips, outtakes and sharing previously untold backstories about the making of the series they will tell this almost unbelievable story, reveal new twists and answer your questions in a live Q&A.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear Miller, Thornham and Wright on this shocking true story and what it tells us about obsession, control, misogyny and the price of life and death.
