NewsCast debuts new true crime podcast

NewsCast, News Corp Australia’s on-demand audio arm, has today released Dying Rose, a seven-episode true crime podcast following a team of reporters as they investigate the deaths of Aboriginal women across the country.

The podcast details the twists and turns in the two-year investigation conducted by staff of The Advertiser in Adelaide, bringing to light shocking national details of how authorities respond to these cases nationwide.

Hosted by Douglas Smith, Indigenous Affairs Reporter for The Advertiser, as well as his colleagues, State Political Editor Kathryn Bermingham and reporter Emily Olle, the podcast comes at a time when Australia is preparing for a national referendum on the Voice.

The Advertiser’s Editor Gemma Jones says “The team from The Advertiser has travelled the country talking to grieving parents. Their stories about their daughters’ deaths are harrowing and there are so many unresolved questions.”

NewsCast Editorial Director, Audio, Dan Box says his team is proud to have played a part in the work done by The Advertiser’s reporters.

“The courage and compassion shown by Doug, Kathryn and Emily in their reporting has been inspiring. It’s also been a privilege to watch the rest of the company back them and their investigation.

Subscribers to News Corp Australia’s state and regional mastheads, or the CrimeX+ channel in Apple Podcasts, will have first access to new episodes of Dying Rose. The episodes will be published every Friday.
