    Out now: The Confession

    Out now: The Confession

    Premiering on November 4, the astonishing true story of how Melbourne homicide detectives broke all the rules in their quest to have Katia Pyliotis convicted for brutally murdering a dirty old man with a statue of the Virgin Mary.

    The Confession is a podcast where the justice system itself is on trial.

    At the centre of it all, is Katia Pyliotis, accused of bludgeoning a man to death. Four years of Katia’s life is spent behind bars, until the truth emerges because of a stroke of luck. When an item thought long lost is suddenly found and the spotlight is shifted from Katia to her accusers, the police.

    Richard Baker tells the story of a murder, a botched trial and the system that allowed it to happen.

The Weight of Evidence

A well delivered, investigative podcast. The weight of evidence was so imbalanced against Phoebe right from that fateful day post 12:00pm until she was discovered at around 7:00pm. Her parents Natalie and Len, Lorne and family and friends have been through hell and back on slow steam train. The original coronial ruling was stacked against them from the get go. I pray that the Handsjuk and Lorne and family receive justice for this crime against their beloved Phoebe. A most beautiful vibrant flower, gone way to soon.
