I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin is a serious interview series about crime, policing, victims, and the people left carrying the aftermath. It does not treat murder as neat entertainment. The conversations are close, often heavy, and shaped around direct questions that ask guests to explain what happened and what it cost. Some episodes stay inside the police world. Others move through court process, family grief, trauma, fiction, research, counterterrorism, rescue work, and public safety. Ian Sherrington’s episodes look at lone actors, mass killings, extreme ideology, and the warning signs that can appear before an attack. Those conversations are procedural, but not cold. They keep returning to the difficult question of when concern becomes intervention. Graeme Simpfendorfer’s episodes turn the lens on a guest who served 27 years in the Victorian Police, working in the Homicide Department, and later spoke about traumatic material of his own. The show gives that pain time. Kathleen Kirby’s return is more openly grief-struck, centred on Audrey Griffin, unanswered questions, and the long wait for justice after a violent death. Candice Fox brings a sharper, stranger thread, linking crime writing to real murders, serial killers, and the way victims can vanish inside killer mythology. Cameron Hardiman’s story stretches the show beyond homicide into helicopter rescue, AFP work, Solomon Islands, Christchurch, international drug dealers, and human trafficking. Across those episodes, the pattern is clear. A case is never just a case. It reaches families, police, courts, communities, and sometimes the guest sitting at the microphone. The show can be dryly funny in small moments, but it does not soften the material. It asks what people saw, what they did, what they missed, and what they still live with. That makes it stronger than standard true-crime retelling. It is less interested in suspense than consequence. The result is grim, human, and unusually grounded.
Made for: For listeners who want serious true crime built around interviews, policing experience, victim impact, and moral consequence. It suits people comfortable with difficult material handled plainly rather than theatrically.
What sets it apart: The show’s strength is its interview-room closeness: guests are allowed to speak at length, then pushed back toward detail, responsibility, and aftermath. It treats crime as lived damage, not just narrative intrigue.
After 25 years working in homicide, former Detective Chief Inspector Gary Jubelin is sitting down across the interview room table from cops, crims, addicts, victims, small-time cheats and big-town lawyers, asking them to share their stories. One of the country’s most successful podcasts, I Catch Killers reveals the reality of life and death inside the justice system. Gary talks about the big things with an open mind - good and evil, hope and suffering, joy, tragedy - and redemption.
