Description
Rotten but still a little sweet! Rotten Mango is a true crime + all things spooky podcast. We love doing deep dives into the darkest crimes and we tend to not leave out any details - which can get a little rotten at times. If you want deep dives in the psychology of killers, no holding back storytelling of crimes, and stories of lesser known criminals from around the world this is the place for you. Welcome to Rotten Mango but don’t worry it all comes with a seasoning of comedy/sweetness.

Dr. Crush and Lucy Letby would always lean on each other for support during the tough times. They always prided themselves on being a good team. Even when times were tough, which they often were in the NICU, their bond remained strong.

Or maybe a sweet, kind, smiling nurse was secretly a serial killer hiding amongst the hospital staff…

The boarding school of nightmares shouldn’t have been open for as long as it was. The Inhwa Boarding School was for students that had mental, physical, and intellectual disabilities.
It was nestled in the mountains of South Korea - and it was keeping a dark secret.
It was filled with what the students called “perverts.” The perverts would force students into empty classrooms to sexually assault them. The perverts would play movies in class and drag students to the back to assault them in front of their friends. The perverts would play adult films for the students. And if the victims ever got pregnant - they disappeared. The students were beaten into silence.
The perverts were the very teachers and administrators that vowed to protect, teach, and serve the students with disabilities.

But it fell silent. Nobody believed that anymore. On the screen, they saw 7-year-old Zainab in her pink coat walking hand in hand with a stranger. A strange man. He was not someone the family knew. He was Pakistan’s worst serial killer.

I love this podcast!!! The way that you explain things is amazing and I love the way you tell the story... luv it luv it luv it!!!
I love this podcast, it litterly gets me through work everyday. when I sit down to complete documentation, I pop a ear bud in and it is a great distraction from everyday stressors and keeps me entertained during what would otherwise be a really boring 8 hours. Thank you Stephanie!
been awhile since I heard about this story but on another true crime podcast there was such a deep dive I can't help but think it was a freak accident that had bad police work involving inexperienced small town cops.
I can't! the voice is bag over head worthy.
Oh, what a disappointment this "Rotten Mango" turned out to be! I had such high hopes when I picked it up, thinking it would be a juicy and delicious treat. But alas, appearances can be deceiving. As soon as I peeled back the skin, an unpleasant odor hit my nose, and my excitement quickly faded. The once vibrant yellow color had turned into a sickly brown, and the texture was mushy and unappealing. It's like the mango had given up all hope of being enjoyable. https://startups.snapmunk.com/bristol/printing/printing-mart
😬 Not the correct story.... looking forward to this story....
th3re Stephanie there is a mixup
this is the youngest serial killer episode... no?
this is really good and disturbing
I don't cry while listening to podcasts But this made me cry for real
Dude, please stop saying "wow" so much. This is the best podcast I've listened to, but that drives me crazy!
I'm heartbroken after listening to it how evil can some human be... it also reminded me of that movie called "Level 12". the fear those little kids would've felt while trying to sleep wondering if they're the next victim..💔
Thank God you had "Stephoney" on this podcast with you!! It was exhausting just listening about this egotistical, disconnected guy! If it wasn't for YOU telling it, I honestly would have turned it off! lol You're the best! Thank you Stephanie 💖
her podcasts and videos are so entertaining 💌
stop "saying" what the victims are thinking during their assaults and deaths as a truth when they are dead and you have no clue what they were thinking.
Are you ducking 12 year old? It’s not “SA” - it’s called SEXUAL ASSAULT!! You sound like such an idiot when you call it SA. So ducking stupid. And it’s called RAPE! Why do you bleep the word out? Do you think it doesn’t happen if you bleep it out. Grow the fuck up.

the blessed squalene reminds me of how the "church" of Scientology sells super expensive blessed water to their members.
