  • Uneducated opinions

    I would have enjoyed this except for the hosts adding in their own uneducated opinions in about irrelevant details to crimes. They watch a tv, regurgitate whatever they saw and think they are smart. 🥴 It’s embarrassing to listen to.

  • The investigation of Letby

    As a Mother, I can empathize with parents on both sides of this case. But at some point the Letbys may have to come to terms that their daughter is a deeply disturbed individual. The best & sometimes the most difficult thing a parent can do for their child is see they are held responsible for their own choices. Truth will out. It always does. My sincere condolences to the parents and families who suffer now and will continue to suffer for generations for trusting their baby’s care to one who (ma... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shortcut: The True Story of the Postcard Bandit
Q: What was the big robbery that landed Brenden in prison? Was that the famous Through the Ceiling robbery?
Yes, the Belmont, Perth robbery in 1987 was the large, early bank heist that established Abbott's reputation; it demonstrated his early willingness to plan from above the bank ceiling and target the big payout before the bank opened.
Shortcut: He Was My High School Teacher, Then My Husband
Q: So this relationship, it's now a relationship after it's become sexual. Although I believe he was very careful not to have intercourse with you until you were 16. Is that correct?
Yes, he insisted we wait for vaginal intercourse until I was 16, but we were otherwise sexually active; his manipulation and control extended far beyond that boundary.
Should Sex Offenders Keep Their Super? Re-Issue
Q: What do you mean by we taxpayers were covering the cost of their crimes?
Victims will never be able to work or own a home and many rely on Centrelink; the system currently folds those costs into public support while offenders often retain assets, creating a disparity that the campaign argues should be corrected by targeting offender wealth.
The Hunt for Killer Father and Son Fugitives The Stoccos *Re-Issue*
Q: Tell us what happened in the two weeks.
The guests describe a rapid period of pursuit, shootings at police, and a national manhunt that forced the Stoccos to move across states, culminating in their capture.
Shortcut: Australia’s Most Mysterious Conman: John Friedrich
Q: Was the National Safety Council perceived as a legitimate operation?
Yes, many viewed it as a government organization due to its public safety focus.
