🎙️ CONmunity Podcast (formerly Conning the Con) From Sarah Ferris Media When your gut says something’s off… do you follow it? Welcome to CONmunity Podcast, the investigative true-story series that explores trust, belief, and the fine line between ambition and illusion.Each season follows a different real-world investigation — told through the voices of those who lived it, questioned it, and tried to make sense of it. Season 1 (Conning the Con) followed my sister and me as we uncovered one of New Zealand’s most audacious relationship deceptions.Season 2 (The BADmiral) unpacks the rise of a global humanitarian organisation called IntSAR and the extraordinary claims surrounding the man who led it.Over eighteen months of reporting, I’ve traced how veterans, ex-law-enforcement, and humanitarians were drawn in by a vision that promised purpose and service — and how difficult it can be to see what’s real when hope is the hook. Independent, empathetic, and grounded in firsthand testimony, CONmunity brings listeners inside complex human stories — without assigning guilt, but always asking the questions that matter.

S2 | E12 — OLD SEA DOG, NEW TRICKS

Mon Dec 29 2025

Listen

The tide may have gone out on IntSAR, but the story isn’t over. In this season finale, Sarah traces what happens after the collapse — following the digital breadcrumbs that reveal how Admiral Peter Cowell re-emerges with a new identity, a new pitch, and a familiar playbook. From humanitarian aid to “angel investing,” the pattern repeats: new titles, new promises, and the same elusive outcomes. As Sarah reflects on the journey that began with a gut feeling, The BADmiral ends where all investigations do — at the intersection of belief, charisma, and consequence. Peter Cowell was contacted for comment during the production of this series. At the time of publication, no response has been received. All accounts and opinions in this series are those of the participants, based on their own experiences. Allegations are always attributed to their sources. The story is told in the public interest to examine how trust, belief, and ambition can intertwine. 🔎 Themes: investigative journalism · reinvention · manipulation · belief · power · psychology · trust · resilience All episodes of The BADmiral are available now — stream them ad-free and with bonus content:🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts | Join on Patreon Follow @conmunitypodcast on Instagram for the latest updates, behind-the-scenes insight, and ongoing developments.
