If you love nothing more in this world than to get invested in a good true crime story, do we have the podcast for you...
The award-winning, true crime podcast Unravel is back with a new seven-part series, delving into the cold case disappearance of Sydney socialite Juanita Nielsen, hosted by family members Keiran McGee and Pip Rey.
In the early 1970s, Juanita published the independent newspaper, NOW and used it to campaign against proposed plans to replace Victorian-era terraces with high-rise apartment blocks in Sydney’s Kings Cross.
Her outspoken opposition to the redevelopment quickly made her the enemy of some of the most powerful men in New South Wales. “She knew she was in a lot of danger and she was not prepared to step down and be intimidated by anybody,” says Juanita’s cousin Pip.
In 1975, just one week after her disappearance, Juanita’s handbag and belongings were found abandoned by the side of a freeway in Western Sydney. So, what happened to her? Were there people who wanted her gone? And if so, who was responsible?
Hear explosive revelations as the investigation unfolds on the ABC listen app, with new episodes releasing weekly.

If that's not enough to have you racing for your headphones, we have another fantastic new podcast hosted by Annabel Crabb and Steph Tisdell. Ms Represented explores the history of women in Australian politics over the past 100 years.
The story of women in Australian parliaments is a tale that turns 100 this year with the centenary of Edith Cowan’s 1921 election to the WA Parliament.
What is fascinating is the extent to which the voting fortunes of the female population have at key points turned on the judgment or instincts of a single man.
Annabel and Steph look at how women have shaped politics from the first women to speak in the House of Representatives, the first to bring a baby to work with them and the ones who broke through the beer glass ceiling and drank with their male colleagues in the members bar.

The new Delta strain of the Coronavirus has us feeling a bit of déjà vu, especially if you're in Sydney or Melbourne.
Whether you're juggling working at home with kids or figuring out how to pay rent as a single mum after losing your job — life just got a whole lot tougher for women, yet again. Many women are on the front line of fighting coronavirus at home and self-isolation is feeling like total chaos.
On last year's episode of Ladies, We Need To Talk Yumi shared hot tips on how to get through and make lockdown a little more bearable, which are super helpful this time round too.
With Australia's two biggest cities now in lockdown, you'd be forgiven for wondering when this is all going to end. Yesterday, Melbourne joined Sydney in locking down thanks to the highly infectious Delta variant, which continues to put pressure on Australia's pandemic response.
In today's episode of Coronacast Dr Norman Swan and Tegan Taylor answer, What is the point of a lockdown and are they worth it?
We hope that you and your loved ones are staying safe!
Until next time,
