Podcasts
Vikki’s career in podcasting began when the hugely popular Casefile podcast featured Beth Barnard as Case 80. The Casefile host encouraged Vikki to develop the case into a series which became The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron. This was followed by Searching for Sarah MacDiarmid, then The Frankston Murders which helped in the fight to keep serial killer Paul Denyer in prison forever. Working with Emily Webb, Vikki’s next series was The Unthinkable which featured guests who had experienced unthinkable events and how they coped in the aftermath. Vikki’s podcasts have been downloaded over 10 million times around the world.
Television
Not long after The Unbelieved was released in 2022, producer Xavier Marchand bought a copy and optioned the book for a television series. Anna Torv loved the character and was keen to bring Antigone ‘Tig’ Pollard to life. Renamed ‘Dustfall’ on the ABC, the series will air from 11 October 2026.
