Dear Mum, I couldn't decide what to get for Mother's Day, so I got you this card instead.

I nearly got a beautiful terrarium with succulent plants at flower power, but then I got distracted by the indoor plants and pots.

0:12.0

Oh, but look at those orchids I thought. I chose a stunning pink one. And then I saw the scented candles.

0:17.0

Ah! But! Brainwave! I got you a flower power gift card instead so you can choose. Happy

Mother's Day, Mum, from me and the garden gift people at Flower Power. Welcome to Australian

True Crime. This episode's a bit different to what we normally do, and there's a reason for that.

0:40.1

The first reason is that I want to introduce you to our producers. Some of you already know that Matthew Tankett is a producer on this show.

0:46.7

Hello, Matthew. Hi, Michelle. Executive producer, a big your pardon. Thank you.

0:49.8

And we have a new producer working with us, Ruby Bartzes. Hello. Hello. And the reason that we scored an extra producer, Matthew, is that we've moved into a beautiful new studio, a new network with Kiss FM. We've got a radio show as well. I know. A showing true crime has been going through lots of changes lately. I don't mean to alarm anyone. We're still having a regular Monday episode every week. But now we have this great studio. We're on YouTube as well. We've got all these great cameras. And as part of the, I suppose, facelift. Yeah, as part of the deal, us coming over here, we now have a show on Sunday night called True Crime Tonight, and we needed a producer for that. Yeah, it's a lot of

1:28.3

work. And so the show's six to seven Sunday nights, and we said, I think we need another human.

1:33.7

We need help. And we said, what about a journalist? Are there, to be completely honest and brutal,

1:39.8

I said to the bosses here, there are so many amazing journalists out of work.

1:44.9

Journalism is really harder than ever before to get a foothold in, to get a job in.

1:49.9

And I said, I bet you've got someone somewhere around Australia in the newsroom already

1:55.0

who would be great at this, who's enthusiastic, who's young.

1:57.9

And then they came back to me and they said, we do.

2:00.2

And here I am. Here she is, Ruby, who was hanging around the Melbourne newsroom. Tell us about yourself, Ruby. How's you get in there? Well, I just did an internship with Kiss FM and Goldfm, and then I scored myself a job in the newsroom, and then, yeah, six months later was approached by you guys and they said

2:17.6

they want someone cool and then they approached me. I don't know if we said that actually. And then they weren't available and they had to be available. And I think what's really interesting about this though is although you're an experienced journalist, I think it's fair to say. She's not a true crime nerd. Not a true crime head. No. I was never one to just listen to True Crime Podcasts in my car.

2:37.0

I was more of a true crime. No. I was never one to just listen to true

2:35.5

crime podcast in my car. I was more of a call her daddy kind of episode girl. However, look at me.

2:42.3

I'm listening to true crime as I drive home from work. It's all encompassing. I would think it's
