Uncover

Uncover is CBC’s flagship investigative true crime series, and its NXIVM coverage is some of the best audio journalism about the case that exists. The show runs multiple seasons on different topics, but two of them are essential for NXIVM listeners. The original Escaping NXIVM season laid groundwork that later became its own standalone feed, and more recently, Season 35 brought Allison After NXIVM, a seven-episode deep look at Allison Mack’s story from TV star to federal prisoner and what came next. That season is hosted by Natalie Robehmed and produced by Vanessa Grigoriadis of Campside Media, and it features the first on-the-record interview Mack gave after her release. The show has accumulated over 10,000 ratings on Apple Podcasts with a 4.5 average across all its seasons. Each season operates like a standalone documentary, so you do not need to listen to the full 305 episodes to get the NXIVM content. The production values are consistently high, with CBC pouring real resources into the reporting. What makes the Allison Mack season particularly compelling is its willingness to sit with the uncomfortable question of whether she was a victim, a villain, or something in between, rather than handing you an easy answer. The narrative pacing is deliberate and measured. It trusts you to think.
