    Best of 2024: Lives of true crime; With Andrew Rule & John Silvester

    Andrew Rule and John 'Sly' Silvester are the odd couple of crime. One can write, the other can talk. They've built their careers writing, and talking, about the most unpleasant things in life. Murder. Armed robbery. Gang wars. They revolutionised the way journalists wrote about crime, and they're responsible for bringing one of Australia's most notorious, and now infamous criminals, into public consciousness: Chopper Read. In this episode, Andrew Rule and Sly explain why they write, and why some cases still haunt them.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
