The Advertiser’s Dying Rose podcast wins Radio Today award for Best Crime Podcast

The Advertiser’s Walkley Award-winning podcast has taken home another top gong against some of the country’s best audio productions.

The Advertiser’s Dying Rose podcast has been awarded a top gong at the Radio Today awards, celebrating the best in Australian audio productions.

The Walkley Award-winning series was named the winner in the Best Crime Podcast category.

The podcast was named for Rose Hunter-Hebberman, who was just 19 when she was found dead in a shed at the rear of a property in Adelaide’s inner south. Her mother Courtney has searched for answers since.

The team travelled across the country to tell the stories – which were read by more than 2.4 million Australians – of Aboriginal women and girls whose families had serious questions about how they came to die.

Editor Gemma Jones met Courtney by chance in 2021, and Indigenous Affairs reporter Douglas Smith, State Political Editor Kathryn Bermingham and Senior Reporter Emily Olle worked tirelessly on the series. Dan Box and Jasper Leak from News Corp’s audio team produced the podcast.
