Summary

Behind the scenes here at Australian True Crime, we’ve been really proud to assist in the development of a new podcast.

It’s called She Matters, a new podcast from award-winning journalist and femicide researcher Sherele Moody.

Each week, Sherele sits down with the families of women and children killed in Australia - not to revisit the crimes, but to remember the people they were, the joy they brought, and the love they left behind.
