Dusting for Prints: Episode One—Shadow of Truth's Omri Rose
Omri Rose is an Israeli-American-British on-camera and voice actor, podcast host and one of the creators behind Wondery's Shadow of Truth, the podcast accompaniment to the Netflix miniseries of the same name, which told the story of the 2006 murder of Tair Rada, a 13-year old Israeli girl, and became one of Netflix’s most-watched true-crime docs in 2018.
It’s a tragic case that shocked all of Israel. The miniseries brought this story of police tunnel vision, a legal system’s rush to judgment and wrongful conviction—and Tair’s own mother’s quest to find her daughter’s real killer—to the attention of the world.
We talk about the case, the creation of Shadow of Truth, and our shared skepticism of systems of so-called justice around the world. Omri shares how this work has inspired him and led him to create his latest podcast Spies and Lies, another real-life exploration of the world of espionage as seen through the eyes and past work of his co-host and father, former spy-master and intelligence operative, Jason.

Dusting for Prints: Episode Three—Journalist Melanie Green
Vancouver-based freelance journalist Melanie Green is no stranger to crossroads. Faced with the demise of print media just as she completed her studies in Communications, Media Culture and Analysis, Political Economy and Policy, at SFU, she dove headlong into a journalism program at Langara College, where she was awarded the 2017 Penny Wise Langara-Journalism BCYCNA Scholarship,. This led her to various media organizations including CBC Radio where she received the 2017 Read-Mercer Scholarship. After a turn at the ill-fated Star Metro Vancouver, Melanie landed at Pacific Content—Canada's top brand podcast agency—as a podcast host, producer, and audience development specialist.
Constantly curious. Melanie puts people first and finds new ways to tell compelling stories. Interested in culture, technology, politics, public policy and the point at which they intersect. Skilled in cultivating connections, storytelling, digging & research, creative problem solving and using multiple mediums.
I caught up with Melanie to talk all things media, the push to hire for diversity and inclusion, and the toll it takes carrying the weight of the expectations for entire cultures and identities.
