ALL EPISODES NOW STREAMING!!
The NOT GUILTY podcast will take you through the criminal matter in which Craig McLachlan was a part.
It will examine the reporting of the lead up to the case, what occurred in the courtroom, the rulings that were delivered upon Craig McLachlan’s NOT GUILTY verdict – and the most pressing question of all – should Craig McLachlan have been charged in the first place? Should he ever have been charged at all?
“I am about to reclaim a date. That date being Jan 8.
Jan 8 2018, was the date my life was thoroughly demolished through a story that rocked Australia.
Almost a decade later, I am claiming back this date.
Given the age we live in, with everyone being on a device, Vanessa decided she wanted to present my story as a podcast.
So, on Jan 8 2026, grab your device or computer or whatever you have, and listen to NOT GUILTY – The Craig McLachlan Case.
It’s time for the full story to be told.”
– Craig
“Almost 8 years ago, on January 8 2018, my life, along with my partners, changed forever. As the years went by, I started to write about what happened. What really happened? Well, I am going to take that date back in the only way I know how, and I wanted to let you know that on Jan 8 2026, I will be launching a podcast.
NOT GUILTY The Craig McLachlan Case.
After each episode, there will be an ‘unfiltered’ filmed interview conducted by Michael Cain with Craig. No question will be off the table.
For 8 years, facts and truth have been unreported, untouched and ignored.
That’s about to end.
Stay tuned for more, and I hope you can take the time to listen to Me Too.
– Vanessa
