A senior cop. Decades of rumours. A trail of victim-survivors, buried complaints, and a police culture that looked the other way. Badge of Betrayal blows open the true story of Senior Sergeant Paul Reynolds, the high-ranking Tasmanian officer who rose through the force while dark allegations swirled behind him.

Thank you for bringing to light the horrible failures
This is a great result for everyone who has been harmed by Reynolds
Insincerity. Motor voices. The real people sound like machines. Is there honestly a therapist in the world who has a voice that sounds THAT insincere and uncaring. How how how how how does this happen on a podcast? “Omg. That is just …. Terrifying…”. Sounding completely jaded. … listening to someone reveal the worst of the worst. Met with deadpan, grating, appalling lack of empathy or sincere insight. I’m disgusted. “I can definitely. … documents that I provided. … this young person. … “. Let’s... more
Thank you for the excellently produced and researched podcast. The only criticism I have is that the advertisements are exceptionally jarring and potentially more triggering when they occur during the brave retelling of heinous acts committed on a survivor. I understand that ads are necessary to providing a free podcast, but can they please be more appropriately timed when distressing content is being discussed? Maybe at the start/finish of the germane subject matter.
I found this podcast bc I listened to Our Little Edey a little over a year ago and have been following her case ever since. This podcast seems so important, especially right now, bc there seems to be such a worldwide problem with pedophilia and people in power abusing it. There unfortunately are so many stories like this one and they all need to be shared and heard. Victims deserve justice and these monsters deserve to be exposed and held accountable. I found this podcast interesting, informativ... more
I’ve been listening to Our Little Edey since the start, and this is even more shocking. The lengths that some people will go to in supporting predators and covering up for them is disgusting. This is a well researched and well-made podcast, thank you to all involved.

This series centers on police accountability in Tasmania, exploring decades of allegations against a high-ranking officer, internal investigations, and the pursuit of truth through hearings, inquiries, and survivor testimony. Across episodes, the narrative weaves firsthand accounts from current and former officers, survivor voices, and timelines of investigations to question how misconduct was handled, where transparency fell short, and how independent oversight could improve trust in public institutions. A notable strength is its investigative depth, use of archival records, and proactive engagement with parliamentary processes to push for accountability. The format often features whistleblowers, survivor perspectives, and expert context f... more
