Hi it's Tim from Inside the Tribe here, I've found a great new podcast called One Minute Remaining that I've been enjoying. Jack Laurence is the host and he interviews different men and women incarcerated in the United States for a range of different crimes. It's not about whether these people are guilty or innocent, Jack just allows them to share their stories. Check out the trailer.

Hi it's Tim here from Inside the Tribe with another great podcast recommendation. The Confession is an astonishing story about how Melbourne detectives broke all the rules in their quest to convict a woman called Katia Pyliotis, who'd been accused of bludgeoning a man to death. Richard Baker tells the story of a murder, a botched trial and the system that allowed it to happen. Check it out
