Badge of Betrayal peels back the layers of a case Tasmania Police quietly walked away from after Reynolds’ sudden death. What emerges is a disturbing pattern: young boys targeted through sport, car meets, and friendship; colleagues who raised concerns and were shut down; and a network of silence that stretched far beyond one man.
A current serving high ranking police officer comes forward to tell us everything he knows, a friend who was groomed by Reynolds talks, we speak with victim survivors, whistleblowers and uncover emails and files notes that leave breadcrumbs that ask more questions.
From the creators of Our Little Edey, this is a forensic investigation into one of Tasmania’s most unsettling police scandals and the uncomfortable question at its core:

Introducing - AI Crime Time
What if your lawyer was a chatbot?
What if your car plotted your murder?
What if the perfect crime wasn’t committed by a person… but prompted?
Welcome to AI Crime Time — the podcast that explores the dangerously believable world of crimes committed using, by, or through artificial intelligence. Each episode is a fully fictional, true crime–style story written and voiced almost entirely by AI — with less than 5% human interference (because, let’s face it, humans are the problem anyway).
You’ll hear fake interviews, AI confessions, courtroom drama, and code that kills — all wrapped in a dry, disturbing tone that’s equal parts Black Mirror, Serial, and your worst tech nightmare.
Disclaimer: This podcast is a work of fiction created using generative AI. The crimes, characters, and quotes are entirely fabricated and for entertainment purposes only. No AI models were harmed in the making of this show (yet).
