Published: April 24, 2025 --The spotlight shifts to New York City as the historic trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs begins — and Diddy on Trial, the hit BBC Sounds podcast, will cover every important moment.

Starting Monday 12 May, journalist Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty will bring listeners the latest courtroom revelations straight from the heart of Manhattan. Subscribe to the podcast on BBC Sounds for all of the latest episodes and updates.

After nearly eight months behind bars in one of America’s most notorious prisons, Diddy stands accused of sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution and racketeering with conspiracy - charges he fiercely denies.

This case has rocked Hollywood, with A-list names caught in the fallout. Diddy has been denied bail three times, and has been refused a request to delay the start of the trial.

Since its launch in November 2024, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty has been the voice behind the Diddy on Trial podcast, following the dizzying twists, bombshell claims, and cultural shockwaves this case has sent through the music industry. Now she'll be on the ground in New York - and with the help of a range of contributors - breaking down key testimony, legal strategy, behind-the-scenes moments, and the bigger questions the trial raises about power, celebrity, and accountability.

From Friday 16 May, the podcast will also be available to watch with a weekly episode streaming on BBC iPlayer and BBC World Service YouTube.

Diddy on Trial isn't just reporting the headlines — it's taking you inside one of the most explosive trials of the decade.
