Step into the gripping world of Fractured, the acclaimed investigative podcast from Melanie Reid, as it returns for its second season. In season 1 we uncovered the harrowing story of a controversial medical diagnosis from a New Zealand hospital, and the devastating chain of events that followed. A baby taken. A mother jailed. A family torn apart. And a couple facing deportation without their daughter. Crushed under the immense pressure of government departments working in unison, this is the story of how the dream of starting fresh in a new country spiralled into an unimaginable nightmare. In this hard-hitting second season, Melanie Reid and her team take the x-rays that were used to convict a young mother and put them before international experts. Their findings challenge the Starship doctors’ original diagnosis, and ask whether there is a troubling pattern with a medical hypothesis that has led to wrongful convictions around the globe. Fractured Season Two doesn’t just tell one family’s story, it reveals a chilling phenomenon that could have far-reaching consequences.
