On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at cults and creepiness…

Hidden away in the Italian Alps is an underground temple touted as the 8th wonder of the world. Thing is – it was built by a cult called The Federation of Damanhur and if you visit it, they’ll want to convert you. But… Damanhurians say they can time travel! They say they can talk to aliens! They say they can make plants sing! And that they’re an ‘ethical cult’. Geordie investigates… Listen now to find out more.

Did you know that body snatching is big business? But not all body snatchers steal corpses for money… In Pakistan, Michelle looks at the story of two cannibal brothers who… well, you can guess the rest. She also looks at the time the corpse of Charlie Chaplin was stolen from his grave in Vevey before discussing the dentist-cum-body-snatching-entrepreneur, Michael Mastromarino. His body-snatching ring saw hundreds of bones, hearts, veins, bits of tissue and skin being stolen for cash – including those of veteran broadcaster Alistair Cooke. Listen now to hear more!

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at honeytraps and fugitives…

In 2010, one of the biggest policing scandals in UK history was blown wide open when a group of women spoke out to the media about being deceived into relationships with undercover cops. This week, Michelle looks at the undercover policing relationships scandal and how for decades, male spy cops would infiltrate activist groups and form fake intimate relationships with women to get intel. Listen now to find out what happened to these women and the men who deceived them.

Geordie then investigates the bizarre story of Kim Avis… When Kim Avis was wanted by police for rape and sexual assault, he jumped on a plane and faked his own drowning at a Californian beach. But when his body couldn’t be found, it sparked an international manhunt, which led to the unravelling of strange and tragic tale that uncovers secrets, lies and a stint as a local punk hero in the 80s. Listen now to hear about what happened to Kim and if his victims received justice.

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at supernatural stuff – the Snedecker haunting and the mass UFO sighting at Broad Haven...

Would you move into a house that used to be a funeral parlour? In 1986, the Snedeker family were excited to move into their new home in Southington, Connecticut. Except the real estate agent hadn’t told them that the house was full of funeral-home paraphernalia and GHOSTS and two years later, paranormal activity forced the family to flee their home. What happened to the family? Was it real? And why are there Hollywood films about it all? Geordie investigates - listen now to find out!

Michelle then goes back in time to the 70s to a mass UFO sighting by a bunch of school kids in Broad Haven in Pembrokeshire… OnFebruary 4 1977, a bunch of kids were playing footy during their lunchbreak when they saw a cigar-shaped object obscured by trees in the woods. What’s more, they also saw a spaceman in a silver suit standing right next to it! Did they see a UFO? Was it sewerage tank? Or a harrier jet? Or just a giant hoax? Listen now to make up your own mind!

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at two musicians gone too soon...

Do you remember Avicii? The Swedish superstar DJ with number 1 hits all over the world? Geordie doesn't, but this week, Michelle takes a look at his life and legacy and digs into why he was gawn too soon. Avicii, real name Tim Bergling, was one of the most successful DJs on the planet, yet by age 28, he was found dead in Oman, having taken his own life. So how did a kid from Stockholm become one of the most successful DJs and songwriters of all time? Why did he stop touring? And what were the circumstances in the lead up to his death? Listen now to find out!

Geordie then looks at the intriguing death of founding Rolling Stones member, wild man Brian Jones. On July 3 1969, Brian was found dead on the bottom in his Sussex country-house pool. Although the official cause of death was drowning by misadventure, the conspiracy theories are continuously cranked out as to what REALLY happened to Brian on the night of his death. Did handyman Frank Thorogood (yes, we know we call him Paul throughout the episode 🤣) murder Brian? Was he depressed and took his own life? Was he the victim of ritual sacrifice? Geordie dives into the heady rock n roll days of the late 60s to reveal a few of the more popular Brian Jones conspiracy theories....

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, hosts Geordie & Michelle look at classic porn star Annie Sprinkle and the wellness-slash-sexy cult OneTaste...

There was a time when porn was made in a studio. Porn stars had their own kind of Hollywood and you could become a household name. We're talking the 70s and 80s here - and one of the big names in porn at the time was Annie Sprinkle. This week Geordie looks at the self-confessed porn feminist and discovers her philosophies (questionable), her workshops (vulva circle, anyone?) and her new movement, the Eco Sexual where you can shag a tree and stroke some bark all in the name of Lover Nature.

Michelle then dives into the wellness brand - read sex cult - that is OneTaste. When Nicole Daedone met a monk at a party and discovered OM, a brand new Orgasmic Meditation sex technique, she founded a small group called OneTaste to empower women and make them more confident in every aspect of their lives. Except it's alleged they were basically a cult that preyed on sexually dysfunctional women to make a buck. Listen now to hear what OneTaste is all about and why the FBI have had them in court...

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chat about what dirt is made up of, Gulliver's Travels, a chat with Jen and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, hosts Geordie & Michelle look at the dodgy side of debt collecting & the origin story behind the TV show Mind Hunter…

We all like money but it's a bummer when you have to pay back a loan. This week, Michelle looks at debt hunters and asks the question: do bad things happen to debt collectors? In January 2011, Martin Ithell went to the home of Scott Davidson and Rachel Horton to collect on a debt - but things didn't go to plan. Find out why Scott and Rachel bought plastic sheeting, why Martin had mates round the corner and what really happened to Martin.

Geordie then dives into the real-life events that inspired the TV series Mind Hunter... In 2017, Netflix released the psychological crime thriller, Mind Hunter, where FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench interview serial killers in jail to delve into the psychology behind why they kill in order to create a psychological profile and help solve current murder cases. Thing is, the series is based on real-life people and research conducted by the FBI. Listen now to hear the origin story behind the show!

On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, hosts Geordie & Michelle delve deep into iconic 70s movie Jaws and the real-life mysteries connected to it…

When Jaws was released in 1975, it was an instant box-office smash hit! But a rewatch in 2024 by Geordie and her kids left Geordie wondering – how much of this movie is based on fact and how much is ‘artistic licence’?

This week, Geordie dives into the real-life events that inspired the 1975 Spielberg classic, Jaws... In the summer of 1916 in New Jersey, USA, a series of shark attacks up and down the Jersey shore left swimmers terrified to enter the water. What happened? Was anyone killed? Listen now to find out!

Geordie then looks at the mysterious case of the Lady of the Dunes. In 1974 in Provincetown, the body of a mutilated, unidentified woman was discovered in the dunes — the very same year Jaws was filmed on nearby Martha's Vineyard. Decades later, Stephen King’s son Joe Hill made an eerie connection between an extra in the film and a missing woman. Did Joe Hill just solve a decades-old cold case? Listen to Eavesdroppin’ to find out!
