  • Ivan Milat - The Backpacker Killer: Part 3
    Oct 4 2025

    This week on The Grim Curriculum, we’re wrapping up our deep dive into one of Australia’s most infamous serial killers — Ivan Milat. In our final part, we follow the investigation that finally brought him down and the shocking evidence uncovered along the way. We also take a look at his bizarre antics behind bars, his death, and how even now, decades later, new and unsolved cases continue to be linked to his name.

    We’re done with Ivan for now — but as more connections and developments continue to surface, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.

  • Ivan Milat - The Backpacker Killer: Part 2
    Sep 27 2025

    This week on The Grim Curriculum, we continue our series on Australia’s Backpacker Killer, Ivan Milat. In Part 2, we focus on his victims — young travelers whose lives were cut short in the most brutal ways. By this point, Ivan is single again, having gone through a divorce with his wife Karen and a breakup with his brother’s partner Marilyn, and his isolation only seemed to fuel his rage. From puzzling disappearances to the harrowing discoveries made in the Australian bush up until 1993, these cases reveal the true scope of Milat’s violence. Join us as we trace the timeline of his crimes, and examine how fear began to spread among backpackers across Australia.

  • EP171: Ivan Milat - The Backpacker Killer: Part 1
    Sep 13 2025

    This week on The Grim Curriculum, we’re kicking off a brand-new series on one of Australia’s most infamous serial killers — Ivan Milat. In this first episode, we dive into his brutal and toxic family history, his chaotic childhood as one of 14 children, and the early warning signs that hinted at the darkness ahead. To truly understand what Milat became, we believe it’s crucial to examine the gritty details of his upbringing — and that’s exactly where we start.

    Aug 23 2025

    This week on The Grim Curriculum, we’re diving into one of the strangest medical hoaxes in history — the case of Mary Toft. In 1726, this woman from Surrey, England, shocked the medical world with her claim that she had given birth to rabbits. Was she a cunning manipulator, a victim of her circumstances, or something in between? Join us as we unravel the bizarre twists of this story that baffled doctors, fascinated the public, and became one of the most infamous hoaxes of the 18th century. Plus, this week’s episode was completely new to Charlotte, but it checks all the boxes: Old Timey, Medical, and Straight-up Grim.
