And every Sunday night from six till seven, we'll bring you our true crime book and documentary recommendations, chat with you, our listeners, and interview some of the biggest names in true crime.

Give us a ring, basically. I love it. And there's links in our show notes if you're listening to this as a podcast or in our social media as well, Australian True Crime, if you would like to do this. I believe we've got one, guys.
Hey, True Crime tonight. I'm loving the new radio show. I would love to hear you cover one of my favourite Netflix docos, Don't F with Cats. It'd be interesting to hear Michelle's take on internet sleuths helping crack a case.
Love y'all. What a great suggestion. And that is one of our suggestions for what you can leave a message about. You can leave us a message about something we've already done. You've got something you want to say about it or something you'd like us to do. Now, this Don't F with Cats is one of the best documentaries I think I've ever seen. I love it. What about you guys?
I've actually never seen it, so I'm going to go and watch it.
I think there's lots of true crime listeners and viewers who think they can handle basically everything with true crime, but then when it comes to animal abuse, it's something completely different.
And what kind of animal abuse? Well, all right, I'm going to give you two options in a minute, Ruby, but one option you never have to know and that's the option I took. But do you know what, Matthew? I've had so many people say to me, listeners say to me, why is it we can't handle, and I think it's covered in the documentary as well, why is it we can't handle animal abuse when we can handle anything else? Like as true crime listeners, readers, watchers, watchers, We're so tough and we tend to look at things from the sort of, I don't know how to describe the point of view where we're learning things, where we want to know the forensic evidence. We want to know how they figured that out or stuff like that.
And then with animals, though, it's just like, no, no, I cannot. I cannot. I cannot hear about it. I can't know about it.
What is that, do you think? Is it the vulnerability? Is it?
They have no voice. Yeah. Yeah, it's just so low to me. It's just I can't even, it's pretty low to murder a lady as she's out jogging. But there's something about hurting an animal that feels just, I don't know, it's so hard to explain, but I know I'm not the only one. And, Ruby, if you Google, this is how I watched it the first time, right, because you get the vibe. You know someone's hurting cats in this show. Yeah, so it's one person. Yes, I believe. Look, it's that long since I've seen it, but I suggest we all watch or rewatch it and we'll talk about it at length next week. Incredible. But if you are going to play along at home with us, there's a really handy thing you can do. You can Google the timestamps for when animals get hurt in this documentary because what it's actually about is, as she said, internet sleuths.
catching a predator catching an offender so that's actually what it's about these brilliant people looking at like the shape of the door yeah um or the shape of the electricity socket in the background of a video and figuring out what country it must be in and stuff like that it's brilliant but there are moments where cats are hurt but look
