Australia’s 9News presenter Melissa Downes and producer Jessica Lodge present a gripping podcast series exploring the tragic murder of two police officers and a civilian in rural Queensland in December, 2022. Four police officers visited the isolated property of brothers Gareth and Nathaniel Train to conduct a welfare check. They had no idea the Train brothers, and Gareth’s wife Stacey, were lying in wait and prepared to kill.

  • Dirty John

Presented by LA Times Studios, this podcast is a good reminder that people are not always what they seem. It tells the story of successful US interior designer Debra Newell, who meets John Meehan online. She falls in love with him not knowing he’s a violent and narcissistic conman and a serial philanderer. Debra’s adult children become suspicious of Meehan as the story unfolds towards an explosive conclusion.
