During the Lindt Café siege, True Crime Conversations host Gemma Bath was reporting the news live with a police negotiator by her side. She later learned that her voice was one of the sources of information the gunman Man Haron Monis was using, as he held his hostages captive.

In this bonus episode, Gemma looks back on that intense experience and talks about how it changed the way she approaches journalism, making her more mindful of the victims' perspective.
