Background

RedHanded is a true crime podcast, hosted by Suruthi Bala and Hannah Maguire.[1][2] RedHanded started with the infamous "Cupboard Day", on July 9th, 2017, and has released about 400 episodes.[3] The hosts have also since created bonus shows.

  1. ShortHand - on Amazon Music, produced by Wondery
  2. Under the Duvet - on Patreon, members bonus content
  3. In the News - no longer running[3]

Each episode is about an hour long, during which Bala and Maguire delve into a true-crime case featuring serial killers, cults, and everything in between. They regularly try to shed light on lesser known cases. Each episode presents details about the crimes discussed but also raises societal and cultural issues related to the case.[4]

Bala and Maguire launched their first limited series, Filthy Ritual, in April 2023.[5][6]
