  • Eden season 2. A mistake.

    The CASE of Eden Westbrook is very important. But parents who are constantly talking about themselves and Amanda wanting “friends with benefits” and J Lambe making a total fool of herself in parliament is beyond not helping. The CASE. the facts. Not these whining, opining, celebrity seeking morons hoping to aggrandise themselves. Jason and Amanda need to go BEHIND the scenes and STOP talking about themselves. Podcasts get publicity through professional journalism; not creating opportunities for ... more

  • A nursing opinion

    Having listened to the Eden podcast, I first want to offer my sincere condolences to Eden's family. No family should have to endure such a prolonged search for answers, and my thoughts are with them.

    I would also like to express my absolute appreciation to Kim, the first person on the scene. Your courage in recounting what you witnessed, despite the obvious emotional impact it has had on you, is remarkable. Thank you for speaking up and continuing to seek the truth.

    What deeply concerns me, ho... more

  • Too slow and drawn out.

    I feel terrible for Edens family. They seem like really great parents. The podcast really could have been 10 episodes. Very drawn out, very repetitive, lots of conversations are cut up and I feel it discredits the story. Clearly something is a miss, the police have not handled this well and I too would have questions if I were the family.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Family Member Speaks
Q: What reforms or investigations does the solicitor believe are needed in Tasmania?
He advocates for further investigations and inquiries to cast a proper light on what occurred, with emphasis on accountability for police and institutions that failed to protect children.
A Family Member Speaks
Q: Why are these claims pursued as individual actions rather than a class action?
Because abuse affects individuals in unique ways and the damages, circumstances, and timelines vary, making a single, uniform action impractical and potentially unjust for many survivors.
The Black Hairband -Never Released News
Q: Can I ask, Amanda, would Eden have had a black hairband?
Eden would not have typically had a black hairband, as the family used colors that matched their children's uniforms and avoided black.
Raw Emotions: Eden’s Parents Speak Out
Q: Do you feel like you're closer?
Jason stated they are closer than ever because they now have substantial evidence suggesting Eden met foul play and they're determined to pursue justice.
Raw Emotions: Eden’s Parents Speak Out
Q: How are you feeling now?
Jason expressed deep frustration and anger over the investigation's mishandling but also a sense of hope due to updates from a high-profile barrister who has agreed to take on their case.
