The third episode of the second season of My Only Story, a six-part true-crime podcast series written and narrated by Deon Wiggett, is now live.
While sifting through David Mackenzie's past, we find hidden skeletons, closely guarded evidence, and stories from a school where brutality appears to have run riot.
It's time for us to ask: Was anyone in charge of St Andrew's College?
Please note: Next week, we're taking a mid-season production break. Episode 4 of this season will be out on Thursday October 14.

It looks like episode are uploaded on Thursdays, but what time?
This is chilling ...even more so because we know all the characters. We are a water polo family and my eldest son was in the same grade as David, my youngest with Tom. What an impression he made on us. Such a cool kid who cuddled dogs and babies and endeared himself to everyone. He was very popular and we all were shocked he was suddenly gone. Terribly sad he suffered alone and that such a beautiful soul died way too young. I salute Charl and Libby for their bravery in sharing their tragedy, despite their enormous pain. Tom's life may not be in vain if schools learn a lesson from this. Well done Deon Wiggett.
I, too, am looking for the live photos but I cannot find them?
