From the day to day news that dominates the headlines to more complex geopolitical issues that effect all of our lives, we will be exploring them all. It's time to stop settling for what is force fed to us and it's time to look beyond the horizon.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T18:20:08.851669+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-horizon-4355856"},"episode":{"title":"Jeffrey Epstein Wasn't The First Monster That Got Close To The Heart Of The Monarchy","slug":"jeffrey-epstein-wasn-t-the-first-monster-that-got-close-to-the-heart-of-the-monarchy","published_at":"2026-05-29T02:15:01+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-horizon-4355856/jeffrey-epstein-wasn-t-the-first-monster-that-got-close-to-the-heart-of-the-monarchy","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/beyond-the-horizon-4355856","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/jeffrey-epstein-wasn-t-the-first-monster-that-got-close-to-the-heart-of-the-monarchy--72211840","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72211840/savilegaslituk.mp3","summary":"Jimmy Savile fooled the United Kingdom by turning himself into a national institution before the country ever understood what he really was. He built a public image out of charity marathons, hospital visits, children’s television, BBC fame, eccentric branding, and proximity to respectable institutions. That image became his shield. He was not merely hiding in the shadows; he was hiding in plain sight, protected by celebrity, deference, institutional cowardice, and the British habit of confusing access to power with moral legitimacy.

The horror of Savile is not just that he deceived people; it is that so many systems had chances to question him and chose comfort, reputation, and silence instead. Savile’s closeness to the royal orbit made the deception even more grotesque. He developed a relationship with then-Prince Charles through charity work, visited royal residences, corresponded with him, and was reportedly consulted on media strategy and public relations matters, including how the royal household should respond to crises.
