  • Corey Worthington and the Party of the Decade
    Oct 31 2023

    When Corey was left in charge of the family home while his parents were on holiday he did what a lot of teenagers do and threw a party. The problem was he did it via Myspace and the invite went viral. Even Machine Gun Kelly heard about it afterward ( and thought it was the epitome of Australian culture ).

    Today's episode covers what happened next and what Corey is up to these days.

  • Mushroom poisoning mystery
    Aug 23 2023

    By now , everyone in Australia would have heard about the tragic deaths of three people who unknowingly ingested death cap mushrooms. What we don't know is if the poisoning was done on purpose. Throw in an estranged husband who himself was poisoned last year and its not looking very good for Erin Patterson , the woman at the centre of this mystery.

  • Croc's Gone Wild
    Jul 31 2023

    A couple of weeks ago , a bloke was swimming in Wangi Falls , NT when he was attacked by a saltwater crocodile . All hell broke loose and 80 or so people rushed for the waters edge , some people getting stuck on rocks while waiting for the croc to piss off. Luckily for the man who was bitten , it was just a little love bite and he had a few scratches on his arms and back according to reports .

    The attack sparked a croc hunt , with one bloke offering to give the victim the head of the croc once it was found. It also caused an old debate to start back up about the culling of saltwater crocodiles being reintroduced in the Northern Territory as other reports of crocs being where 'they aren't supposed to' came about.


    In this episode I suggested going to Mataranka thermal pools instead of Bitter Springs as its a lot safer when it comes to crocs. You can find a lot of info on these pools here : https://northernterritory.com/katherine-and-surrounds/destinations/mataranka-thermal-pool

    You can stay for the night or just take a dip on your way through - its definitely worth checking out if you're up that way :)

  • Crocodiles and Crime
    May 19 2023

    Living in the Top End of Australia there was never a dull moment . This was largely due to the massive crocodile population that provided a bottomless pit of content for the NT News . When I started my blog , they featured on every second post and my one and only published book includes crocs in gthe title . So I guess they've helped me out with content over the years and today is one of my favourite stories I've done on crocs because for once , they arent the bad guys . This episode is a cross over between 'Australia's most famous Crocodiles ' ( episode 9 , recorded 812/8/2020) and 'Australia's Dumbest criminals ' ( episode 19 3/11/2020) It was hilarious to research and I reckon Ill be doing more stories of Australian animals getting caught up in criminal activity .

    Kick back , grab a coldy and join me as I tell you the story of some seriously stupid criminals

  • Fred Brophy - The Last of the Australian Boxing Tents
    May 8 2023

    How can I host a podcast based on Aussie stories and characters and not do an episode on boxing legend Fred Brophy .

    Fred was born a showman , and to this day runs the last Australian boxing tent - a travelling troupe of boxers who challange the locals for a turn in the ring for prize money . Anyone with a ticket sober enough can join in . Buit thats not the only form of entertainment - over the years Fred has had an alligator mascot who met his maker at the Cairns show but still managed to terrorize the public several years after his death . He's had strip shows , a tattooed pig and even managed to convince Pauline Hanson to moonlight as a Ring girl . Join me as I fill you in on the crazy life of one of Australia's biggest legends !

    If you like the podcast and want to support it , please leave me a review on whichever platform you listen to your podcast - this helps more people find my little poddy :)
