With more than 70 million downloads, Hedley Thomas’s The Teacher’s Pet is the global podcast phenomenon that helped take down a killer.
In the latest instalment of Griffith University’s A Better Future for All series, Kerry O’Brien talks to the award-winning investigative journalist and podcaster about the power of audio storytelling, and how his work helped take the case of Lynette Dawson’s disappearance 40 years ago to a murder trial and a conviction.
They also talk about Hedley’s new podcast Shandee’s Story, an investigation into the murder of a young woman. The podcast triggered the current royal commission-style inquiry into Queensland’s DNA lab with remarkable revelations of murders and rapes going unsolved due to alleged lab negligence.
