Reinventing yourself as a grandparent and what's behind our true crime obsession

Grandparenting can come at a time of life where your old identities no longer fit. So the opportunities for transformation can be profound — it's a chance to do things differently to when you were a parent and explore a new way of connecting with the next generation. In the latest instalment of The Grandparent Trap, grandads Julian Mather and Alistair Thomson join researcher Amanda Salmon to explore the possibilities of reinvention. True crime has become a mainstay of popular culture, but has our collective obsession gone too far? Last week a murder inquest in Queensland heard from an amateur detective who tried to solve the crime on her own, inspired by podcasts about the cold case. ABC's Stephen Stockwell and criminology lecturer Greg Stratton explain how our fascination with high-profile cases could impact the justice system. By now we’re all familiar with the idealised version of tradwife life: living off the land and dutifully raising children in an isolated, beautiful, part of the world. But some women in rural Australia argue the trend is obscuring the harsh realities of what it means to live in country Australia.
