<p>The problem with being an excitable person who always uses excitable language is that I leave no superlatives in reserve for when something really blows me away. But I think most of Australia and the world (in fact, at least 60 million listeners) will grasp why I am pinching myself that our guest this week is none other than Hedley Thomas, National Correspondent for The Australian and creator of globally acclaimed investigative podcasts The Teacher&rsquo;s Pet, Shandee&rsquo;s Story, The Night Driver and the currently ongoing, Brownyn. I find every human and story interesting, but I do have a list of dream guests who I never think I&rsquo;ll get and Hedley has been one since 2018 when he literally changed the landscape of criminal investigations with The Teacher&rsquo;s Pet, leading to the murder conviction of Chris Dawson for the previously unsolved disappearance of his wife Lynette Dawson in 1982. You all know that while on this show I&rsquo;m all about the yay, my guilty pleasure has always been true crime and there is possibly no more influential person in the space than Hedley. You can imagine how nervous I was to interview such a renowned, Gold Walkley award winning journalist - wanting to do him justice, explore his work, touch on who is he outside of work (a father, lover of cows, fan of White Lotus&hellip;) and ask all my burning questions about the Bronwyn case and what it takes to solve long overlooked crimes. We really need a whole series, but for now I tried to focus on things not exhaustively covered elsewhere so we do assume some baseline knowledge of his cases and skate over his fascinating way to yay before podcasting, which I highly recommend you research elsewhere.I have so much more to say, but I know you&rsquo;re all waiting to hear the voice that so many of us know so well. I knew he&rsquo;d be eloquent and fascinating, but didn&rsquo;t expect him to be quite so humble and warm!

This was truly a life highly for me and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. <a href="http://bronwynpodcast.com/">LISTEN TO BRONWYN HERE.</a><a href="https://hedleythomas.com/">Find out more about Hedley's work here.</a> LINKS+ Announcements on Insta at <a href="http://instagram.com/spoonful_of_sarah">@spoonful_of_sarah</a>+ Join our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/872575293109562/">Facebook community here</a>+ Subscribe to not miss out on the next instalment of YAY!</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
