  Security guard leaks footage of zoo 'creature'; zoo goes silent | Unreported

  Sep 3, 202649 min

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan digs into leaked security footage of an unidentified creature caught on camera at the Toledo Zoo, joined by paranormal investigators Colin Browen of "The Paranormal Files" and YouTube creator Kelsi Davies. They discuss whether the creature could be a shape-shifting "crawler" entity, why the zoo is refusing to authenticate or comment on the footage, the dark history buried beneath the zoo's grounds — including a reform school for boys that burned down — and why so many zoos across the country report their own unexplained paranormal activity. "There's clearly something happening ... but what is it?" Browen questions.

  Inside 'Operation Snow White': Scientology's war on government agencies | Unreported

  Sep 2, 20261h 1m

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan asks how Scientology allegedly infiltrated government agencies, targeted journalists and still walked away with tax-exempt status. Medick is joined by Tony Ortega, a journalist who has spent decades investigating the church and writes the website, The Underground Bunker. They discuss how Scientology's "fair game" policy is used to destroy critics, how the church allegedly bullied the IRS into restoring its tax-exempt status after running covert operations against individual agents, why celebrities like Tom Cruise and John Travolta may be true believers rather than victims of blackmail, and how Danny Masterson's rape conviction exposed the church's cover-up culture. "They operate like an intelligence operation, a spy network. ... They operate like a mafia," Ortega says.

  Hugh Hefner reported Jeffrey Epstein to FBI, then nothing happened | Unreported

  Aug 26, 202641 min

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan digs into a former Playboy Playmate's allegations that Hugh Hefner reported Jeffrey Epstein to the FBI after learning she was being assaulted and trafficked — and wonders why nothing happened. Joining Medick is Tracy Walder, a former FBI special agent and CIA officer. They discuss how Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell may have sourced and sold information on women to traffic them, why an FBI tip like Hefner's should count as evidence of a crime rather than something agents can simply ignore, whether Epstein could have been protected as a valuable intelligence asset and why the lingering government secrecy around the Epstein files continues to erode public trust. "It's not like this far-off conspiracy theory... in real life, that happens," Walder says.

  Philosopher who predicted AI’s rise warns humans aren’t in control | Unreported

  Aug 19, 202655 min

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. This week, Meagan asks whether we've been asking the wrong question about simulation theory and whether AI itself is quietly taking control of the conversation, joined by Nick Bostrom, philosopher and author of the New York Times bestseller “Superintelligence,” who has spent decades studying how artificial intelligence could reshape humanity. They discuss whether AI could uplift bioterrorism and help design new pathogens, what happens to jobs and the global economy once AI and robotics take over human labor, if "digital minds" may soon outperform the human brain entirely and whether humanity still has any real control over where this is all headed. "There might be some kind of handover point where, in a sense, we are entering retirement," Bostrom says.

  The BBC interview that cost Prince Andrew everything | Unreported

  Aug 12, 202652 min

  Some stories make headlines. Others get ignored. On "Unreported," Meagan Medick takes a deeper look at the unexplained through the eyes and experiences of you, the viewers. You send the mystery — we investigate. In 2019, former Prince Andrew sat down with the BBC to clear his name, but what followed is considered to be one of the most catastrophic interviews in the history of the British monarchy. The interview created more questions than answers. Andrew faced a firestorm that ended his public-facing role in the royal family, lost his military titles and triggered a multimillion-dollar settlement with one of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers. This week, Medick speaks with Sam McAlister, the former BBC Newsnight producer who negotiated and booked the interview. McAlister takes Medick inside the room: how she convinced the prince to sit down, the private pre-interview conversation where he first revealed his "I don't sweat" defense and the moment on camera she knew the interview had gone catastrophically off the rails. They break down his responses to Virginia Giuffre's allegations, the infamous photo he claims may be fake, and whether any real accountability has followed.
