Witness is the home of investigative podcasts for news.com.au Witness Season 3: Sex, Lies and Streaming OnlyFans promised to change the game and give power back to creators. The reality? Most earn less than $100 a month, while a select few make millions. When news.com.au journalist James Weir set out to interview Bonnie Blue - the controversial British creator who claimed to have slept with over 1,000 men in 12 hours - he expected a straightforward story about viral fame. Instead, he uncovered an industry built on carefully constructed fantasies, bitter feuds, and inequality that mirrors the broader gig economy. From private jets and designer shopping sprees to creators struggling to pay rent, Sex, Lies and Streaming exposes the stark reality behind the glossiest success stories. Through unprecedented access to performers, agents, publicists and industry insiders, Weir follows the money trail from Australia to the neon-soaked halls of a Vegas porn convention and finds out who is really winning in the cutthroat world of subscription porn.  What starts as a hunt for one missing internet celebrity becomes an investigation into the true cost of the creator subscription model - where viral stunts generate headlines, public feuds fuel fortunes, and the line between performance and reality becomes increasingly blurred.

The sky above us holds a universe of wonder and mystery. It is a canvas for our dreams of flight and exploration. Yet, it also contains shadows and unknowns that challenge our understanding of the world.

JP fortæller er personlige fortællinger, reportager og miniserier fra Jyllands-Posten, der tager dig helt tæt på mennesker og historier, du kan mærke.   Efter drabet: En mørk aften i november mødes to 15-årige drenge på en øde perron på Grenaa station. Kun én kommer levende derfra. Efter drabet fortæller historien om Vito, en helt almindelig 15-årig dreng fra Grenaa, der på få sekunder blev forvandlet til en drabsmand. Over flere måneder har Jyllands-Posten fået unik adgang til ungdomsfængslet, og i podcastserien kommer vi helt tæt på Vito, som for første gang åbner op for, hvad der skete, og reflekterer over de konsekvenser hans handling har medført.   Børn under himlen: Hvert år mister flere end 1500 børn og unge under 18 år en forælder. Men hvordan er det at være barn, når far eller mor ikke er her mere? Hvordan forstår børn døden, hvordan oplever de sorgen, og hvordan oplever de andre menneskers håndtering af deres tab? Lasse Momme tager sammen fotograf Stine Bidstrup ind under børnenes himmel for at forstå, hvordan det er, når far eller mor ikke vågner igen.   Pigen, der vil leve: Det er historien om Mathilde Kirstine Simonsen Høj fra Egtved – en gæv, jysk kvinde fuld af gåpåmod, der aldrig har gennemført mere end 5. klasse. Om en drømmer, som elsker heste og af og til føler, at andre bedre kan bruge den luft, hun indånder. Om en af de knap 43.000 unge uden job og uddannelse, som Mette Frederiksen i 2023 gjorde til SVM-regeringens »vigtigste opgave«.  Lasse Momme har gennem mere end tre år fulgt med på sidelinjen i Mathildes liv, hvor han har talt med hende og dem, der elsker hende, i timevis og læst flere tusinde siders dokumenter fra næsten et årti i systemet.
