    PRESENTS — Awaye on Mark Haines

    In 1988, Rudi Bremer's cousin Mark Haines was found dead on railway tracks outside Tamworth — the day after Rudi was born.

    Unravel explored Mark's story in our series Blood on the Tracks, culminating in a 2025 inquest into his death.

    Now, in a deeply personal episode of the ABC podcast Awaye, host Rudi sits down with Mark's siblings Lorna and Ron Boy, who continue to search for answers about what really happened to their brother.

    It's an intimate conversation about what it means to endure an inquest decades after losing someone you love, and you can find the full interview by searching for Awaye on the listen app or wherever you get your podcasts.

    For more on this story you can also go back and listen to the Blood on the Tracks series in the Unravel feed.

    PRESENTS — The Eleventh

    If you're an Unravel and true crime buff, here's another podcast you'll love — The Eleventh.

    It's about what really happened during the biggest scandal in Australia's political history — the dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.

    This year marks the 50th anniversary of the dismissal and its effects are still being felt today. The Eleventh has all the elements of a great true crime podcast — chaos, ridiculous characters and even a love story.

    The first episode starts in 1972. Australia has an appetite for change, and Gough Whitlam exploits the mood of the nation to become Prime Minister, but not everyone appreciates the headlong rush into a more modern Australia. Pretty soon, the new government is making some powerful enemies.

    To hear the entire series, search 'The Eleventh podcast' on the ABC listen app and wherever you get your podcasts.

    * WARNING: This episode contains some strong language.
