Admin — Wed, 20 Sep 2023 02:00:37 +0000

This week on Eavesdroppin’, hosts Geordie & Michelle look at the world of Dungeons & Dragons and Satanic Panic!

Back in the early 1970s, Dungeons & Dragons moved from being just a board game to becoming the world’s most popular fantasy role-playing game. Come the 1980s and the game had sparked moral panic throughout the world with accusations of satanic devil worship and warping young minds. Geordie dives into the world of D&D and looks at murder, censorship and where D&D is now. Michelle then looks Satanic Panic in Australia in the late 80s and early 90s, starting with a ‘satanic heavy metal cult’ in Canberra… She then investigates a disturbing satanic ritual abuse case covered on Australian 60 Minutes and asks the question, is it real or just fake news? You decide! Want to know more? You’ll have to listen! So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle, plus extra chit chat on yoga murders, sayings from your childhood and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

23: HOMETOWN MURDERS: Canberra, 1983 – the brother-sister killing the internet forgot

Admin — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 02:00:53 +0000

Hello, Eavesdroppers! This week we have a special true-crime report on a hometown murder no one can find on the internet… This episode is a special request from an Eavesdropper, who asked us to investigate a murder she remembered from her childhood…

In Australia on September 20, 1983, a 15-year old boy in the Canberra suburb of Red Hill murdered his 13-year old sister, in the middle of the night, seemingly without motive. A former alumni from the school of the murdered girl wrote to Eavesdroppin’ hosts Geordie & Michelle, asking them to look into the murder, as she could find no public record of the killing on the internet. What Geordie & Michelle discovered are the disturbing reports of a troubled teen who murdered his sister without explanation – and the bizarre reportage of the case at the time. Why is this murder digitally unsearchable? Why is the reporting so strange? And why are Geordie & Michelle not using the names of the victim and perpetrator in the episode? It’s a psychological true-crime ride this week and an episode you won’t want to miss. All this and more on Eavesdroppin’.

We hope you enjoy this week’s episode and remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

6: Hometown Murders Part 2: The Keytes & Megan Mulquiney

Admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 03:00:00 +0000

Murders can happen anytime, anywhere… even in your hometown… This week, Geordie talks about the double murder of Ken and Margaret Keyte in Bateman’s Bay, Australia, with a first-hand account from Hazel the psychic real-estate agent. Michelle looks into Canberra’s longest-running cold case: the disappearance of Megan Mulquiney. Geordie explains what a ‘duzza’ is but comes up short on ‘laterals’, while the pair reminisce about classic cocktails from the 80s. Murder, Mendelsohn and Mullets… enjoy the episode.

3: F*ck! What was that I just saw in the sky?

Admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2021 11:08:50 +0000

This week is all about weird lights in the sky. Michelle talks about seeing snow-glow and thinks it might be an alien landing. Geordie scares the sh*t out of everyone with The Incident at Fort Benning. Michelle investigates UFO reports from around Lake George near Canberra. And the pair chat randomly about Communion, films with aliens in them (not the 1979 classic Alien), Steven Spielberg and of course, Ben Mendelsohn, now affectionately known as Bendels. Apologies are made, they realise that neither of them know what a ‘G’ is or how far 4,000 metres really is…
