In 1997 in Canberra, Australia, law student Anu Singh told friends she was going to kill herself and hosted two dinner parties where she was meant to end her own life. Instead, she laced her unsuspecting boyfriend Joe Cinque’s coffee with Rohypnol before injecting him with a lethal dose of heroin. Why would Anu want to kill her boyfriend? And why would Anu want to kill herself? Why was she using heroin? And what did Joe do to deserve to die? Was Anu on a psychotic break? Why did she give paramedics the wrong address? Was it pre-mediated murder? And what sentence did Anu end up with? Listen in to find out!

Michelle then goes on to discuss the Peru Two, a cautionary tale of how two party girls from Northern Ireland and Scotland in 2013 went from having a fun summer in Ibiza to becoming cartel drugs mules… Who are Michaela McCollum and Melissa Reid? Why are they called the Peru Two? Is it actually possible that people don’t know where Lima is? Were they manipulated and groomed? Or were they just a bit stupid? Did Michaella actually go missing? And why did they lie to the media? Why are we talking about Quaker Oats? And how did their  story end? Listen now to find out! It’s all here on Eavesdroppin’!

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

How on earth did Australia get mixed up in atomic testing at Maralinga? How are the Americans and Brits involved? What has Woomera got to do with it? What are the ongoing environmental concerns of the testing? What did Australia get out of it all? And what the hell is Project Sunshine? 

People, it’s a hot potato of an episode and one you won’t want to miss, especially as Michelle say Bwwwitain, there’s talk about Love Island, YouTube trolls and Nenish Tarts for Smoko… Get Eavesdroppin’!

The post 32: ATOM BOMBS & NUCLEAR TESTING: Maralinga, Marshall Islands, blowing sh*t up & more! appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains references to animal cruelty and grim descriptions of violence agains animals and women. Listen with caution. 

Hello Eavesdroppers! This week, Geordie and Michelle talk about The UK Cat Killer, aka The Croydon Cat Killer, aka The Streatham Cat Murderer, as well as pig farmer and serial killer Robert Pickton and TRIGGER WARNING – it’s not easy listening… 

But firstly, the pair kick off with a quick round up of new info on the Lynn Dawson case (well, Chris Dawson, actual, who now has a trial date for the murder of his wife, Lynette), Melissa Caddick and Allison Mack of NXIVM… And yes, Keith Raniere IS still alive, for anyone who’s wondering (ie, Michelle) – he’s just been put in prison for 120 years…

Now onto the true crime… Back in 2014, Geordie first became aware of a series of cat killings in the Streatham and Croydon areas of London. Listen to discover how the killer has stumped UK police and how the Croydon cat killer has widened his circle of cruelty…

Michelle then goes on to discuss the horrific case of Canada’s most notorious serial killer – Robert Pickton. How are pig farming, pork snags and the Piggy Palace Good Time Society all connected? Listen to find out!

The pair then wrap it all up with a scintillating conversation about toilet paper, the merits of scrunching versus folding and how people sell fried bats in Thailand.

It’s a rough ride so saddle up and get Eavesdroppin’!

Michelle kicks off the ep with the tale of Alma Fielding and the Thornton Heath haunting. Did Alma’s pink porcelain dog really smash? Did Alma really manifest a mouse? Why is no one called Alma anymore? Big questions on this week’s episode. Was Alma’s house really haunted or was she simply projecting repressed memories… You decide!

Geordie moves onto the notorious case of the Enfield Haunting… Specifically, the BBC show The Reunion and the time she heard it in her car and had to pull over, she was so scared! We hear all about the two Peggys, 11 year old Janet Hodgson and a foul mouthed entity called Bill Wilkins who seems to be in love with Janet and how he haunted their lives for 18 months. This was after the girls used a ouija board… SO PEEPS, REMEMBER, YOUR OUIJA BOARD IS NOT A TOY!!!! Then it’s onto the Battersea Poltergeist… sit back, grab a cup of mushroom coffee and let Geordie tell you all about Shirley Hitchings and Donald the poltergeist, who haunted her and her family for 12 YEARS!!!! yep. Whoa. What the actual F. Tapping, hammer toes, flying objects and media skepticism all kept the case alive for more than a decade, but at the end of it all, who really knows whether Donald was real or not or indeed, whether any of us will ever know whether Poltergeists truly exist…

Enjoy the episode and KEEP EAVESDROPPIN’!

The post 15: LONDON POLTERGEISTS: The Enfield, Battersea and Thornton Heath Hauntings appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

Geordie talks about her husband taking stuff off the street and drinking unknown murky liquids. Michelle talks about the time a childhood visit to a hoarder house scared the poop out of her. Geordie accuses Michelle of being a clothes hoarder. The pair delve into the psychology of hoarding and why hoarders hang on to stuff. Is there a difference between hoarding and collecting?

The pair talk about celebrity hoarders including Andy Warhol, the Bouvier sisters and Grey Gardens, the Collyer Brothers, plus Rhonda in the Chris Lilley series Lunatics and Susan Random in the British series Toast of London. Michelle delves into the difference between hoarder brains and non-hoarder brains. TRIGGER WARNING – Michelle outlines the case of Terry, the cat hoarder, which turns out to be horrific. (Apologies for the shock-disbelief-laughter – it was a case of hysterical laughing or crying). The case of Rat Man gets a mention – with a gruesome ending. Shanna the poo hoarder also gets some airtime, and quite frankly, it’s shocking. Geordie wraps up with the case of the Honeycheck sisters and that’s about it from the Eavesdroppin’ duo.
