When will analytical, trade, pre-season or actual game-related content come around? There’s more to the game than human-interest stories, especially if they (I’m talking about the league not the actual players) want to be taken seriously more broadly by current sceptics.

They are covered by existing AFL podcasts such as AFL Daily, Gettable and The Traders.

Cold Case Breakthrough: New Podcast Investigates the Anthea Bradshaw Murder Mystery

On April 16, 1994, Anthea Bradshaw married her high school sweetheart in a beautiful ceremony at Adelaide’s Tusmore Park Uniting Church. Just 96 days later, she was found murdered—strangled and stabbed—in Brunei, South East Asia. Three decades later, her death remains a mystery.

In Just Married: The Anthea Bradshaw Mystery, 9News Senior Reporter, Ben Avery and the 9Podcasts team launch an active investigation into her unsolved murder—something no police force in the world is doing right now. This podcast delves into the strange circumstances of her death, uncovering evidence and exploring theories, forensics, and alibis that have stumped investigators for years.

Avery interviews Anthea’s family, friends, and former detectives to piece together her life and final moments. The podcast seeks to answer two crucial questions: Who wanted Anthea Bradshaw dead, and why?

His global search for answers has revealed new evidence and witness accounts previously unknown to the public. “There’s a lot the public hasn’t been told about this case,” Avery says. “Anthea’s family and friends want everyone to know the full story and they won’t rest until her killer is brought to justice.”

Del Fordham, 9Podcasts Content Director, adds, “This investigation has been painstakingly put together by Ben, with the unwavering support of the Bradshaw family. We hope to provide them with the answers they seek.”

Just Married: The Anthea Bradshaw Mystery launches today, 22 July. New episodes of the compelling exploration of this cold case and the quest for justice drops weekly on APPLE PODCASTS and SPOTIFY.

Medical Misogyny: Unpacking Gender Bias in Healthcare with SBS News ‘Hysterical’ Podcast

image1920×1080 223 KB

Is medical misogyny really a mystery? Why do we know more about some bodies than others? How do sex and gender influence our experiences in Australia’s health system?

SBS News journalist Catriona Stirrat explores medical misogyny and discrimination in the Australian health system in the new SBS News podcast, ‘Hysterical’. The series provides a much-needed health check on nuances of birth trauma, barriers on sexual and reproductive health, and patterns of delayed diagnoses. It delves into the medical challenges that women, trans and gender diverse people face every day, which may not be much of a mystery at all.

“I think the themes and experiences in this series will resonate with a lot of people. While we’re privileged in Australia with our health system, it’s clear there are certain communities that continue to feel dismissed or even discriminated against, and the current efforts to address this are offering hope in this space,” said Stirrat.

“Hearing a wide range of stories from women, trans and gender diverse people – whether it’s the dismissal of pain, experiences of birth trauma, or bias around whose bodies we study – emphasises the need for conversations about fairer health outcomes for all.”

The seven-part podcast series investigates the findings of the Victorian Inquiry into Women’s Pain and the Federal Government’s End Gender Bias Survey, with episodes uncovering; the history of hysteria and the travelling womb with Professor Jane Ussher, discrimination faced by trans and gender diverse people with Dr Joe Latham, prioritisation of fertility over pain management with Patricia (not her real name), bias, birth trauma and pain dismissal with First Nations woman Sam Hall and unpacking the default white male body with non-binary person Max.

Hysterical is available now on Youtube, the SBS Audio app, or wherever you stream your podcasts.

SBS News podcast Cost of Living Secrets is also available to stream on the SBS Audio app, LiSTNR or wherever you stream your podcasts.

Dan Hanzus and Marc Sessler have launched their new podcast, Heed the Call, today as part of the Underdog Fantasy group (the same people who recently signed Bill Belichick).

They started the show by addressing the situation that occurred. In short, over the last year, conversations between Dan (as the main representative of the show) and the NFL had become more difficult with some of the changes that have been happening within NFL Media. All three had been offered a contract extension, but Dan’s contract offer was withdrawn. Marc made the decision to walk with Dan, while Gregg decided to stay.

They have previously confirmed that the show will run three days a week during the offseason, with five episodes a week during the season, including the return of the flagship Sunday night recap. Justin Graver (aka Gravedigger) has returned following his stint at Fox Sports, while Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr will be a regular guest on the show.
