More acclaim for LiSTNR’s The Children in the Pictures podcast

LiSTNR’s The Children in the Pictures podcast has been announced as a finalist in the prestigious 2023 Kennedy Awards, in the category of Audio Journalism: Outstanding Podcast.

The docu-series takes listeners inside Taskforce Argos, a team of Australia’s best detectives dedicated to infiltrating global criminal networks and rescuing children from online sexual abuse.

In just six months since its launch, The Children in the Pictures podcast has already been recognised with a Gold at the New York Radio Festival Awards for Best Narrative Documentary and most recently took out Best Documentary at the 2023 Radio Today Podcast Awards.

Series host and co-producer Akhim Dev says “Law enforcement officials in Australia and internationally are using the podcast as a training resource, the Australian e-Safety Commissioner has also acknowledged the podcast’s contribution to creating awareness about a deeply misunderstood and generally avoided topic.”

“We want to sound the alarm on this issue – protecting our kids takes a global village.”
