They were once hailed as town heroes, individuals who dominated every sphere and commanded every room. However, the rot set in when they exploited their power to manipulate entire communities and prey on the most vulnerable. How did these abuses go undetected for so long? Why were credible reports silenced for so many years?

Rotten Apple, a compelling new podcast series from 9Podcasts and acclaimed investigative journalist Camille Bianchi – known for her award-winning work on The Nurse – delves into these pressing questions.

From Tasmania and beyond, this podcast series reveals the conditions these bad apples need to thrive across communities, and what happens to the whistleblowers who refuse to look the other way. It uncovers harrowing stories of abuse while shining a light on the courageous individuals who bravely share their truths.

Camille Bianchi said: “It is difficult to fathom the level and scale of child sexual abuse in Australia, but we cannot overlook the incredible bravery and resilience of victim survivors and the whistleblowers who have refused to turn a blind eye – often at great personal cost. Their stories deserve to be heard and acknowledged, and Rotten Apple provides that platform.”

Del Fordham, 9Podcasts Content Director, said: “Rotten Apple is more than just a podcast; it is an important celebration of the whistleblower and a poignant reminder of the emotional and psychological toll that comes with sharing one’s story. Through Camille’s incredible investigative work, this powerful project hopes to spark conversations and inspire action within communities, fostering an environment where silence is no longer an option.”

Rotten Apple is now available for streaming on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes released weekly.
