True Crime 

It’s hard not talk about how much everyone loves a true crime podcast without sounding a bit insensitive at best, and a bit of a sicko at worst. Questions about our psychology aside, no one can deny that unraveling a mystery is fascinating listening.  

Three-year-old William Tyrrell's disappearance in 2014, has had a lasting effect on the nation. While covid-19 has managed to suspend the ongoing inquest, 10 speaks podcast Where’s William Tyrrell?  is a solid way to avoid talking about coronavirus, and get up to date on the case. On the podcast, 10 News First journalist Lia Harris, in conversation with news presenter Natarsha Belling, investigates the disappearance. And William’s foster parents give exclusive interviews for the first time in four years. Deffo start from the start.
