On the 26th of December, 2004, holiday makers in South East Asia woke up to another day in paradise. Sunshine. Blue skies. White-sand beaches. Boxing-Day bliss. And then, disaster struck. An underground earthquake with a magnitude of 9.2, caused by shifting tectonic plates, triggered a tsunami that smashed through the region. This week, Geordie looks at the Indian Ocean tsunami and recounts what happened alongside personal stories from tsunami survivors.

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about mice, Geordie’s dog-walking Whatsapp group and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

The post 51: THE BOXING DAY TSUNAMI: Stories from the 2004 natural disaster appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

Murder! Death! Destruction! Geordie & Michelle told you it was Christmas every Wednesday in December ♬ and this week the pair are unboxing some tasty aural tidbits especially for you, dear Eavesdroppers, starting with the Evil Santa story that’s currently doing the rounds… Real or Hoax? You decide! Geordie then discusses the naughty creature that beats children with birch sticks at Christmas before Michelle tells a delightful story about guinea pigs and explains the pair’s recent attempts at interpretive dance…

The bells ring out as Michelle talks about the time Christmas nearly got cancelled for her, Jen and Steph… Geordie talks about the Australian bush fires in the summer of 2019-2020, says ‘enclave’ in a weird way (get in touch Al Teggart!) and Michelle gets into a few Christmas murders… So… Who is Michele O’Dowd and why did she invite her fake friend Patty over for Christmas? Was it a burglary gone wrong or MURDER? Listen to find out! Then there’s the grisly Australian story of William Stevenson… What did Danielle Kerr and Damien Lewis do to poor William? Why are the pair talking about the movie Kill Bill? What is ice? And what has either of those two things got to do with Christmas-day murder? Listen to Geordie & Michelle get their maths completely wrong while discussing this case… All before Michelle talks about THE MOST FAMOUS CHRISTMAS MURDER EVER… It features a six year old child pageant queen in a case that’s still unresolved… Yes, yes, it’s JonBenet Ramsey… Geordie then hits an awkward segue to talk about the Christmas Day cyclone that devastated Darwin back in 1974 – CYCLONE TRACY! Hear her talk about the 2004 Christmas Tsunami, a recap of her Richey Manic theory, and a fascinating first-hand account from a guy called Martin who experienced Cyclone Tracy and lived to tell the story… Merry Christmas everyone and remember whatever you do, keep on Eavesdroppin’!
