    Shortcut: Alan Bond's Unnecessary Crimes

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 
    Alan Bond, "Bondy" as he was known by Prime Ministers and Aussie battlers alike, was unlike the other Australia flamboyant billionaires of the 1980s. 
    He and his wife Eileen, whom he called Big Red, built their fortune from nothing in the suburbs of Perth, and they still wore their humble beginnings on their sleeves when they socialised with royalty.
    Of course, it all came crashing down in those brutal post stock exchange crash days in the early nineties.
    Bryce and Alec from our favourite millennial finance podcast, Equity Mates Investing, join us again on Australian True Crime to tell us all about it.

    Bonus: Who Shat On The Floor At My Wedding?

    Bonus: Who Shat On The Floor At My Wedding?

    The true-poo-crime podcast that took 2023 by storm, "Who S**t On The Floor At My Wedding?", is back with a second series.
    Blushing brides Helen and Karen whose beautiful wedding was sullied by the fact that one of their guests shat on the floor, return with their friend, lead detective Lauren to investigate a new case.
    And as usual, they will go to extraordinary lengths to crack a case that's not quite serious enough for the police to be interested in.
    I caught up with Karen Whitehouse and Lauren Kilby as they were preparing to share the first episode of their second series with the world to find out what they'd learned from their first go around and how this investigation will be different.
    Who S**t On The Floor At My Wedding? And Other Crimes is available wherever you get your podcasts.

    Shortcut: I lost custody of my son in a foreign country

    Shortcut: I lost custody of my son in a foreign country

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

    Some of you will remember Jodie Bilborough from her appearance on A Current Affair in 2019.
    One of their reporters traveled to Jordan in the Middle East to meet Jodie, who just won custody of her son, Laith, through the Jordanian courts after his father, her ex-husband, Ismat, had prevented her from seeing him for four years. An allegation in which he denies.
    The report left us on an optimistic note, although Jodie was still waiting to bring Laith home to live with her as his father had launched a legal appeal.
    Jodie joins us on Australian True Crime to tell us what's happened since 2019. It's a long and winding tale that I don't think any of us could have predicted five years ago.
    Australian True Crime LIVE is coming to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne this July! It'll be full of special guests and Q+A's, and we can't wait to see you in person. You can find tickets by clicking this link.

Unfiltered and educational truths

Meshels approach is educational yet compassionate creating a unique and engaging listener experience for those craving a true crime podcast with depth and empathy. Meshel insite is a must listen.

Lost me

I used to be a Patreon subscriber, but I’m disappointed in the deterioration of this show. Where’s Emily?
