If you were watching telly on the millennium New Year’s Eve, you probably saw the word ‘Eternity’ emblazoned across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in gorgeous cursive handwriting. Like millions around the world, you probably had no idea of its significance and this week, Michelle digs into the mystery behind the man who wrote the word ‘Eternity’ in chalk on Sydney’s streets for more than 30 years… She then moves on to look at a strange phenomena called the Toynbee Tiles that are pressed into road tar around the USA, followed by the Max Headroom TV channel hijacking, and the strange messages implanted into a sculpture at the CIA headquarters in America. So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the pair chat the dark side of war, Roald Dahl, Beatles songs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

WhenStanley Kubrick’s 1999 filmEyes Wide Shutfirst hit cinemas, there’s no way the director could’ve predicted what would come next. Not only would the film get swept up in conspiracy theories involvingJeffrey Epsteinand shadowy elite cabals, but that one unforgettable scene would basically ruin Venetian carnival masks for an entire generation. In this episode, Geordie nips through the weirder side of Kubrick conspiracies before zooming out on the world of creepy masks. This includes the unsettling leather mask linked toAlexander Peden—with human hair and teeth included—plus the whole strange saga aroundNapoleon Bonaparte’s death mask (what a palaver!). She also digs into how “Rescue Annie,” the CPR training dummy, was based on a real French death mask… So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the pair chat French-Canadian masked band Angine de Poitrine, water cremations, Seinfeld and more, only on Eavesdroppin’. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

When Thomas Kolman was found in his car outside a gym in 2011, the case seemed to turn into something much darker involving a dentist called Gilberto Núñez. Firstly, the pair were friends. Secondly, Gilberto was doing the do with Thomas’s wife, Linda. Then there were sedatives, strange behaviour, fake CIA documents, crazy texts… By the time it reached court, you had a jury being asked to decide whether this was a calculated murder or something far less clear-cut, and the outcome isn’t quite what you’d expect. And then you have DTF St Louis, which was loosely based on this strange case. So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat the bellybuttons, Banksy, Jason Bateman and more, only on Eavesdroppin’. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

The post 15: The Real Life ‘DTF St Louis’ Deadly Love Triangle appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

When a break-in in Vallejo, California, turned into a bizarre kidnapping case, Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn found themselves at the centre of a story that police — and the media — didn’t believe. What initially sounded like a real-lifeGone Girlquickly spiraled into something far more disturbing: a case of disbelief, public shaming and a justice system that got it wrong. In this ep, we look at the early morning break-in to Denise’s sudden reappearance, and the shocking way authorities handled it all. Why did investigators dismiss Aaron’s account so quickly? How did Denise go from victim to suspect in the court of public opinion? What really happened behind the scenes as the truth slowly came out? And how could a narrative take hold before the facts were fully understood? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat the moon landing, Chick-Fil-A, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

The post 14: Denise Huskins & Aaron Quinn: The real-life Gone Girl? appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

Geordie and Michelle head into the mountains this week with a series of high-altitude disasters — but what really happened out there? When whenMichel Trudeau(son on Pierre and brother of Justin) organised a ski trip with a pal, no one expected him to be swept away by an avalanche. His body has never been recovered, leaving questions that still linger… Then there’s the recent tragedy inPatagonia, where a group of experienced hikers were caught in extreme conditions, turning an adventure of a lifetime into a hiking horror show. Michelle also looks at the case ofNicolas Vanderbilt, who set off on a hike with a buddy and was never seen again — no clear trail, no real answers. These tragedies all beg the question – who is really in charge? Man or nature?

The pair also dig into the deeply disturbingKhamar Daban incident, where a group of young hikers in Siberia died in bizarre and terrifying circumstances. Did they really succumb to hypothermia? Or does the group’s sudden panic, strange behaviour and rapid descent into chaos point to something more sinister hiding in the mountain ice? You decide! So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat vibration plates, DuoLingo ripoffs, Karens and more, only on Eavesdroppin’. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

The post 13: Deadly Peaks: Hiking horror shows, avalanches & the Khamar-Daban incident appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

When Marissa Littrell was searching for a college roommate who could provide a bit of support with her blindness, a girl named Raechel was recommended by a U.S. Air Force officer called Harry. At first, it all seemed perfectly ordinary… until it emerged that Harry was a UFO crash investigator and Raechel was his alien-human hybrid foster child. Is Raechel really an alien? What strange “gift” did she give Marissa? And how much of this story holds up under scrutiny? You decide!

The pair then turn to the surreal case of Elizabeth Klarer, who claimed she fell in love with a hunky alien named Akon from the planet Meton — and even gave birth to his child, a boy named Ayling. A cosmic romance or an elaborate fantasy? Is Meton a real place somewhere in the universe, or a utopian invention? From mysterious encounters to out-of-this-world love stories, there’s a lot to ponder and even more to unpack.

She also looks atCold War tensions, government cover-ups and the mysterious case ofRussia’s secret cosmonautsalongside thetwo Italian brotherswho claimed to have intercepted secret radio transmissions that they believe prove something strange was going on behind the scenes of the space race.

The post 10: Space Race conspiracies: Lost cosmonauts, moon-landing theories, Russian cover-ups & the Judica-Cordiglia brothers appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

Ever heard of a serial killer so smooth he made everyone think he was a nice guy who was helping them? That’s Charles Sobhraj — part conman, part celebrity criminal and known as The Serpent. Born in Saigon in 1944, he spent the 1970s drifting along Asia’s hippie trail, targeting free-spirited Western backpackers. One minute he was a friendly gem dealer or a rescuer helping with lost passports, the next, his victims were dead — poisoned, drowned or even burned. He stole their identities, travelled on their passports and lived off their money, all while committing at least a dozen murders across Thailand, Nepal and India. When he was finally caught in 1976, Charles Sobhraj turned prison into his own ‘hotel’, bribing guards, giving interviews and even escaping by drugging everyone at his own jailhouse party. So where is he now? Is he still in prison? And why is the world obsessed with The Serpent? Listen now!
