A whisper in the tea, a wrong prescription, the quiet science behind a deadly intent — The Poisoner peels back the layers of motive, method and aftermath in cases where toxin meets opportunity. Each episode examines how poison has been chosen, cultivated and concealed, focusing on the forensic detail and the human stories that make these crimes chillingly plausible. Expect forensic breakdowns, cultural context and courtroom consequences delivered with measured curiosity and precise research. The Poisoner stands apart by combining chemical explanation, investigative reporting and survivor perspectives so listeners understand not just who did it, but how and why a poison worked — or failed — in real life.
