William Tyrrell was a three year old boy who disappeared from the village of Kendall, on the mid-north-coast of New South Wales.

Key facts were kept from the public, from day one. A lot of what was reported, especially early on, was false.

In the new podcast, Nowhere Child, The Australian’s Caroline Overington delves into a case where notions of class and privilege; opportunity and poverty came crashing together, to create a nightmare for William Tyrrell.

Speculative and hard listening (presenter!)

Such a heartbreaking situation yet the opportunity to provide insight and understanding to the general public, particularly around ‘taboo’ topics like the foster system. Would have loved to hear more from former Snr Detective Gary Jubelin. Wasted opportunities made all the worse by THAT voice!!

Voice terrible

Voice is really hard to listen to with all the inflections.

Pretty awful

It appears that I’m not the only one who finds this person’s speaking voice almost un-listenable. It’s so monotone and slow and often shaky. Yet when she’s interviewing people she’s firing off questions fast, speaking over the other person in a pretty repetitive and often insensitive way. The way she questioned the paternal grandma was classist and patronising: “Why DIDN’T you have a lawyer?” That grandma has the patience of a saint. The whole thing is pretty classist actually with bias shown toward the wealthy fosters and a lack of regard for the feelings of the bio family.
