  • Still the same terrible ads

    The ads are totally off putting.

    If they were the same volume as the show itself the program would be worth listening to.

    Deakin University’s ads are the worst. Who’d study there after listening to those shrieky, completely unprofessional ads. No one in their right mind.

  • G’day Mate True Crime

    Bonza effort from Wayne Flowers but even as a true blue aussie I struggle with his accent and overly familiar style to reporting the facts.

  • You’re not at the pub!

    I find it extremely unprofessional the way Wayne Flower refers to his colleague Steven Gibbs as ‘Gibbsy’. It sounds as if he is having a chat down the pub with his mate, rather than reporting on serious crimes. It’s inappropriate and makes it seem very amateurish.

  • So many ads!

    This show used to be ok, but advertising is taking over airtime and there is far less actual information being given. The show suffers terribly as a result. Charge double and halve the number of ads if you don’t want to drive your listeners elsewhere.

  • Intriguing and informative

    Really like the trial series, all locations. It’s really interesting to listen to many events/ crimes/ stories that have happened that I wasn’t aware of, especially in other countries. Great story telling and never boring

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon - “I Came to Say Goodbye”
Q: So Charlotte, how did police manage to find them?
Police used a map and landmarks to narrow down the location. Lamarre-Condon corrected the search area, described the route and identifying features, and recognized photographs of the Greek Orthodox monastery at Bungonia as the place where he left Jesse and Luke.
The Trial of Beau Lamarre-Condon - “I Came to Say Goodbye”
Q: So Charlotte, Fiona Rosso also mentioned something about a van hire during this time.
Rosso said Lamarre-Condon asked to use her card or licence to hire a van, first before the acting practice and again while they were practising. She refused both requests.
Timothy Loosemore: The Airbnb Killer
Q: What was your initial reaction to the news that the second trial found manslaughter instead of murder?
The family was surprised by the verdict, recognizing the legal distinctions in intent, but also feeling the weight of not having complete evidence or a clear picture of what happened during the final moments.
Timothy Loosemore: The Airbnb Killer
Q: But Darcy, could you tell listeners a little about who your mother was and what she meant to you?
I described my mom as caring, creative, and deeply involved in the community and family—someone who built a life on a farm with strong independence and a remarkable history, including being a pioneering woman in her field.
The Final Hours of Helena Wright
Q: What was Helena Wright seeking at the police station the day before the deaths?
There is no definitive answer yet; investigators and reporters note she was seeking help, but authorities have not disclosed specifics, and interviews suggest confusion about the welfare and mental health support she may have needed.
