About this listen

Crime Insiders is LiSTNR's home of true crime.

DETECTIVES hears from the professionals behind some of the world's most gripping criminal investigations. Hosted by former police officer Brent Sanders, the series features law enforcement operatives who were either first on the scene or painstakingly pieced together evidence long after the dust had settled. Raw, revealing and deeply personal, these conversations take you inside the interview rooms, crime scenes, and sleepless nights that define the pursuit of justice.

FORENSICS takes you deep inside the minds and methods of the world’s top forensic experts. Hosted by award-winning journalist and true crime author Dr Liz Porter, these interviews cut through the TV clichés to reveal what forensic science really looks like - up close, complex, and constantly evolving. From the techniques that crack high-profile cases to the breakthroughs that exonerate the innocent, these are the real stories behind the science of solving crime.

JUDGEMENTS delves into the gripping world of high-profile criminal cases, examining the twists and turns that lead to justice - or its failure. Each episode explores a landmark case, from the shocking crime to the courtroom drama. We break down the evidence, witness testimonies, and legal strategies, unveiling the complexities that shape the outcome.

REWIND is our ‘best of’ series. A weekly re-visit of episodes we’ve curated just for you - our true crime audience. These are the episodes we believe you cannot miss if you call yourself a true crime fan.

  • DETECTIVES | The Rat Pack

    DETECTIVES | The Rat Pack
    Nov 2 2025

    When former Queensland Police Setective Keith Banks joined the force, he thought he was signing up to fight crime, not work alongside it.

    In this episode of Crime Insiders Detectives, Keith takes host Brent Sanders inside the world of outlaw motorcycle gangs, where power, loyalty and fear ruled the streets. But the real danger, he says, was within the Queensland Police itself. During the era of the infamous “Rat Pack,” corruption ran deep, and it took the Fitzgerald Inquiry to finally drag it into the light.

    Keith reveals what it was like leading the bikie intelligence unit during Queensland’s most corrupt chapter of policing, the price he paid for speaking out, and how the trauma of policing left him with PTSD.
