Ep 1:
The Morning He Vanished
On a February morning in 1995, Richey Edwards walked out of a London hotel and into rock's greatest mystery—we trace his path from a dying Welsh mining town to a doomed manifesto band.
Ep 2:
Cutting for Real
A razor blade, a journalist, and two words carved into flesh transform Richey Edwards into a philosophy-wielding icon—beloved, imitated, and increasingly dangerous to himself.
Ep 3:
The Holy Bible and the Descent
Three albums chart a mind unraveling in real time, culminating in The Holy Bible's harrowing confessions and a hospitalization that left Richey unrecognizable to those who loved him.
Ep 4:
Fourteen Days of Vanishing Clues
Cryptic gifts, maxed-out cash withdrawals, and a chilling phone call precede the fortnight that ends with an abandoned, lived-in car parked one mile from the Severn Bridge.
Ep 5:
Bridge or Escape
Was it a leap into dark water or a meticulously staged vanishing act? We weigh the suicide theory against tantalizing evidence of a planned escape to a new life.
Ep 6:
The Ghost in Every Song
Decades on, an unclaimed bank account and a band that carried on without him keep the question burning—what really became of music's most haunting disappearance?
