Episode description

It’s fast. It’s brutal. And it’s been used in some of the most infamous crimes in history. In this episode, we examine the terrifying power of cyanide - from elegant murder plots to cult suicides and Cold War spycraft. Why has this particular poison endured? How did it become so closely linked with secrecy, betrayal, and power? And why, even now, does it remain one of the most feared substances on the planet?
