  • Shortcut: My brother's continued abuse after murdering our mother - ATC International
    Nov 21 2025

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


    For this bonus episode of ATC International, we bring you a story from the USA.


    Amy B. Chesler is an award winner blogger, actress and author from Southern California. She's also the host of a podcast called "What Came Next".


    She's uniquely qualified to discuss true crime, because she's suffered a lifetime of abuse at the hands of her brother, Jesse.


    That abuse continues, despite the fact that he's incarcerated for the 2007 murder of their mother, Hadas.


    Amy joins us today to talk about the slow build up of abusive behaviour that led to her mother's attack, and the ongoing threat her brother poses from behind bars.

  • Shortcut: Closing the Technology Gap in Policing
    Nov 16 2025

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


    David Bartlett is a former Victoria Police detective and Australian Crime Commission investigator with experience in counter terror work, international drug operations and organised crime.


    He shares how early frontline policing, tech skills and major investigations revealed the growing technology gap that criminals are now exploiting.


    David has since founded the Safer Places Network, a national voluntary CCTV register designed to get critical footage to investigators faster while protecting community privacy.


    You can learn more about how you can get involved with the Safer Places Network here.


    We're excited to announce the release of Sherele Moody's new podcast, She Matters. Click here to listen on Apple Podcasts, or find it wherever you get your podcasts.
