We're bringing Australian True Crime live to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this July,

and I have to tell you that Brisbane sold out already.

Good for you, Brisbane, so we've quickly added a second show.

Now we can't keep adding more shows, so please make sure you get your tickets. Our special guests,

our forensic criminologist Santee Mallet in Brisbane and Sydney and the one and only Charlie Bazzina in

Melbourne. There'll be a Q&A of course so you can ask your own burning questions on the night but you have to book quickly.

This is a true crime podcast as the title suggests.

So please consider this your warning that it's not suitable for children.

And it probably will contain content that may be triggering to some people.

Also it's an Australian true crime podcast, so Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander

listeners should be aware it may contain the voices of deceased people.

The producers of this podcast recognize the traditional owners of the land on which it's recorded.

They pay respect to the Aboriginal elders past, present and those emerging. Our guest today is a published poet. If you Google Scott Kieran though, you'll

find him described variously as a bikey enforcer, an arsonist, a kidnapper and an attempted murderer.

Scott is well aware that his rap sheet is nothing short of terrifying.

He's hurt and traumatized a lot of people. In 2016, an attempt to intimidate went wrong, and he ended up paying a very high price himself.

Scott Kiran joins us on Australian True Crime today to talk about his life and crimes.

We begin with his early life, which in many ways does not conform to the template we've come

to expect from Australia's most violent men.

From a young age I've seen, you know, violence as a tool.

It's pretty easy to get you away when somebody's scared. It's a pretty good motivating practice for people.

Where did you learn that, do you think? Did you learn that in your own home from watching your parents interact or?
