Why Good Undercover Cops Think Like Psychopaths
For years Jason lived a double life as an undercover police officer, working inside the criminal underworld. No two jobs were the same, and the danger was always there. The toll of that work didn’t end when he left the force. In this episode, Jason takes Gemma inside his undercover life and how it impacted his real life. He explains why he believes he’d be a better police officer now, because he understands how the job affected him. Purchase Jason’s book Undercurrent: The Hidden Cost of Going Undercover here.

Anastasia Was Left Unable To Sit. Her Attacker Didn’t Spend A Single Night In A Cell.
In July 2026, Anastasia Treharne sat in a Sydney courtroom waiting to hear her rapist’s sentence. She had been through a gruelling trial and cross-examined at length, and a jury had found him guilty. The maximum penalty was 14 years in prison. Instead, he was given a three-year community corrections order and 100 hours of community service. He won’t spend a single night behind bars. It wasn’t the first time Anastasia had faced the court system. She was also sexually assaulted at 16, and the two cases played out in very different ways. In this episode, Anastasia tells Gemma about both experiences, from her first assault as a teenager to the sentence she believes is grossly inadequate. She also explains why she refuses to go quietly, and how she is fighting to make sure no one else is let down the way she was. Visit The Echo Campaign's website here.

10,000 Letters And The Problem With How America Prosecutes Women Who Kill
In March 2019, journalist Justine van der Leun sat in a New York courtroom for the murder trial of Nicole Addimando. After years of abuse, Nikki had shot and killed the father of her two young children after he violently raped her. As the prosecution painted her as a “master manipulator”, Justine was left wondering: was this normal? Determined to find out, she surveyed 10,000 incarcerated women across 27 American states. More than 90 per cent of those who responded reported a history of abuse, and 28 per cent said their crime was a direct act of survival. Purchase Justine's book Unreasonable Women.

The Lindsay Clancy Mini Series: An Unexpected Update
Lindsay Clancy's trial for the 2023 killings of her three children ended in a mistrial, but the case has been far from quiet since. In this episode of our mini series, Gemma unpacks everything that has happened since the hung jury. Jurors have spoken out about the one holdout who stopped them reaching a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity. Reports have since emerged about that juror's past, and he has now given his own side of the story. Patrick Clancy has also spoken publicly. He and his new wife sat down with 60 Minutes, where he addressed the online conspiracy theories about him and shared what Lindsay told him about the day his children died. Back in court this week, Lindsay's defence made a dramatic shift. At trial, her lawyer argued she wasn't criminally responsible because of mental illness. Now he says prosecutors never proved she killed her children at all. LINKS We want to hear from you! Take our quick 3-minute survey for your chance to win a $1,000 gift card.
