Adam Shand said: “Real Crime brings together nearly five years of investigation and collaboration. It’s an anthology of work that continues to grow and evolve, with fresh cases, breaking leads on existing cases and a brand-new series, Australian Detectives. We are taking listeners into the world I’ve inhabited for two decades and finding new ways to tell these stories.”
LiSTNR, general manager of digital audio, Grant Tothill said: “Having worked with Adam for close to five years, it’s an exciting time to put all of his work to date in an easily discoverable collection. All the work speaks for itself and reinforces the power of great investigative journalism. Shand is a unique storyteller, his feature series focusses on long term investigations, whilst his interview and Australian Detective series show another side of Adam and his relationship with those who are telling their own story. If you’re into true crime, you’ll love Real Crime with Adam Shand.”
