BAD: ALL About Crime is a new podcast from BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival, made possible through funding from the City of Sydney.
Readers’ appetite for crime fiction and true crime stories continues to soar and the team from BAD Sydney examines the hot topics and themes in crime fiction and true crime. Each month, our writer-detectives Suzanne Leal and Andy Muir explore the big questions in crime writing. They talk about true crime, psychological thrillers, domestic crime, spy thrillers, police procedurals and more with crime writers and readers, both Australian and international.
This episode is a presentation from the Bad Sydney Crime Writers Festival 2021.
Unresolved violent events in the past have a way of coming back to haunt the present. Andy Muir interviews three writers whose protagonists’ lives are turned upside down when the past which they thought was buried rises up unexpectedly. Featuring Sarah Barrie, Catherine Jinks, BM Carroll.

“Libraries are all about the stories they contain.” Catherine du Peloux Menage
Earlier this year Lismore Library was devastated by the horrendous floods, after having just rebuilt and recovered from the floods of the previous year. Moved by an image of hundreds of books being thrown out of the windows of Lismore Library, BAD Sydney Crime decided to help by putting on an event with Candice Fox, Chris Hammer and Michael Robothom, moderated by Kate Evans from ABC’s “The Bookshelf.” The event raised $16,000 for the Library and this episode is a recording of that event.

How hard will a mother fight to protect her family? But that’s not the only story that is explored. This novel has had one of the more unusual pathways to publication we can think of and after talking with Rae, the podcast team assembles to discuss both the novel and Rae’s inspiring story about prizes, perseverance, self belief and not giving up.
