iHeart podcasts. You can hear more Gold one I four
point three podcasts, playlist and listen live on the free
iHeart app. Got anything good? Hey, this is the Christian
O'Connell show podcast. Thank you very much as to start
(00:29):
of week three for us on our new national show,
five Cities one radio show. And as people come into
the show maybe don't know too much about us. We've
been in Melbourne for the last seven and a half
years and now we're in Sydney, we're in Brisbane, we're
in Adelaide, and we are in Perth, and we like
to think that hopefully, if we get this right with
you guys, we're building something a bit different here. If
(00:50):
you are new to the show, I can down from
your messages and your emails that you're saying you are
picking up that we do something different about the way
we put the show together. And I'm not saying that
means it's better, It's just that it's different. I'm not
into buying your ears. We don't give away tons and
tons of money two hundred and three thousand, hundred thousand
dollars to listen to the show. We're not about stunts,
(01:11):
We're not about chasing headlines and not interested in show.
But it's gone, so it's about something else. And the
best way we can sum it up is we call
it the bright side of the dial.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Always look on the broad side of the dial. The
Christian o'connal Show will make you smile. If your days
just begun with clouds instead of sun, your socks don't match,
(01:41):
no battery on your phone. If the news is pretty grim,
dread and go on to the gym, just remember, silly bugger,
you're not alone, and always look on the broad side
of the dog.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
So that's us. And if you are a listener of ours,
whether you or you you've been listening for a couple
of years, you are a bright Sider automatically. Now we
really want to build something a bit different with the
radio show, something that lives after the show ends at
nine o'clock, which is why we're launching this today. We're
launching this is what I've never done.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
