LiSTNR LIFTS THE LID ON WHAT IT’S LIKE TO TRY AND SOLVE A CRIME AND GET JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS WITH THE NEW PODCAST CRIME INSIDERS 

LiSTNR continues create compelling Australian crime podcasts with a new breakthrough podcast series, Crime Insiders, that takes audiences beyond true crime and into the real experience of those trying to solve crimes and analyse crime scenes.

Made up of two show formats, Crime Insiders: Detectives, and Crime Insiders: Forensics, the twice weekly podcast features episodes from those working in crime scene investigations, and in all areas of law enforcement. The result is ground-breaking interviews with experienced and decorated experts that explore the reality of trying to solve crimes. Any closer, you’d be at the scene.

Crime Insiders: Detectives is hosted by former police officer and author of bestselling book by Brent Sanders, How Dangerous Men Think.

While in the police force, Sanders was deployed in riot control, investigated sexual assault cases, and studied the methods and psychology of rapists. He now uses his research and policing experience as a full-time educator, teaching personal and psychological safety and self-defence to women and men, as well as traveling Australia, presenting to schools and universities, educating young people about sexual crimes, and expanding the conversation around consent and social safety.

Sanders’ aim is to share the experiences of individuals in different areas of law enforcement - their experiences of the complexities of trying to solve their biggest cases, and the safety tips they gained through this work, that they wished the public knew. He speaks with guests like homicide detective David Plumpton, and the former Head of Taskforce Argos, Jon Rouse, who also features in LiSTNR’s international award-winning podcast series, Disclosed: The Children in the Pictures.

Crime Insiders: Forensics is hosted by the enigmatic crime author, screenwriter, and former general practitioner, Kathryn Fox. Throughout her time as a practicing GP, Fox took on courses and challenges that allowed her to best treat the victims of crime. Her research as a crime author, saw her forge relationships with murderers, victims, police, psychopaths, lawyers and prisoners, which propelled her deeper into studying and documenting human behaviour as it related to crime.

In the podcast, Fox removes the romance and the gore around forensics and dives into the science of crime scenes and those who can decode them. Three of her guests include blood spatter expert, Adrian Linacre, disaster victim identifier, David Ranson, and toxicologist, Dimitri Gerostamolous.

Listen to the episodes above to get a taste of the life inside crime scenes.
