Premiering on November 4, the astonishing true story of how Melbourne homicide detectives broke all the rules in their quest to have Katia Pyliotis convicted for brutally murdering a dirty old man with a statue of the Virgin Mary.

The Confession is a podcast where the justice system itself is on trial.

At the centre of it all, is Katia Pyliotis, accused of bludgeoning a man to death. Four years of Katia’s life is spent behind bars, until the truth emerges because of a stroke of luck. When an item thought long lost is suddenly found and the spotlight is shifted from Katia to her accusers, the police.

Richard Baker tells the story of a murder, a botched trial and the system that allowed it to happen.

Warning: This episode discusses abuse, mental illness and suicide.

Abbie* can’t live with her mum because of abuse in the household. Chris says he was rejected when he came out as trans. Maddison’s* mother is too damaged to care for her.

Many young people are affected by problems stemming from broken homes, domestic violence and other traumatic events.

Long-term, there is a strong relationship between trauma and poor mental health but young people can bounce back with the right support.

National charity Youth Insearch uses a peer support model to help young people like Abbie, Chris and Maddison rebuild their lives.

Jewel and Sophie attend a three-day camp where young people draw on their own experiences of pain, hurt and triumph over adversity to help others, making them realise they are not alone.

Warning: This episode discusses eating disorders and suicide.

Molli was convinced she had to be thin to be a dancer and started copying restrictive eating advice she was seeing on YouTube. Alex became obsessed with attaining an “ideal” muscular body after a break-up, and ended up nearly losing his life. Melani used binge-eating to cope with loneliness and became afraid to go to parties.

Eating disorders took control of their minds until all they could think about was food.

There remains a widespread lack of recognition that eating disorders are a mental illness. Some experts say awareness is a decade behind that of depression and anxiety.

Eating disorders thrive in isolation and during the pandemic, calls for eating disorder lines doubled, with young people most vulnerable.

As Molli, Alex and Melani have gone through treatment, they’ve worked at reframing their relationship with food, exercise and their bodies.
