This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at the open marriages, late-night affairs and randy scientists surrounding Australia's Bogle-Chandler mystery...On New Year's Eve 1963, two lovers slipped away for a secret rendezvous on the banks of Sydney's Lane Cove River. By morning, renowned CSIRO physicist Dr. Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler—the wife of one of his colleagues—were dead. What began as an illicit affair quickly became one of Australia's most baffling unsolved mysteries. There were no obvious injuries, no murder weapon and no clear cause of death. Rumours of espionage, jealous spouses, poisoning and even Cold War conspiracies were flying around as investigators struggled to explain how two healthy adults could die on the muddy banks of the river after a clandestine romantic encounter. In this episode, Geordie & Michelle explore the scandal that shocked Australia, the social stigma surrounding adultery in the early 1960s and the forensic investigation that took decades to reach an extraordinary conclusion. Was it murder, a tragic accident or something so bizarre that almost no one considered it possible?

This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look the life of under-the-radar exorcist, Donald Omand...What do vampires, possessed animals, a haunted stretch of coastline and the Bermuda Triangle have in common? This week we dive into the bizarre and brilliant life of Rev Dr Donald Omand, the Scottish vicar who became one of the world’s most unusual exorcists. Born in 1903 with what he called “the sight,” Don Don Omand went from interviewing Hitler as a journalist to battling supernatural forces as a man of the cloth. He claimed to have freed people from possession, banished spirits from objects and animals, and even performed exorcisms on entire locations—including Loch Ness and the infamous Bermuda Triangle. But was Donald Omand a holy warrior fighting unseen evil or one of the strangest characters to ever step into the paranormal spotlight? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat 80s TV shows, drowning stories and more on Eavesdroppin’.

This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at three missing persons cold cases that refused to stay buried...When 25-year-old Melanie Hall disappeared after a night out in Bath in 1996, police believed answers would come quickly, but nearly 30 years later, her murder remains unsolved. In Germany in 1994, the body of an unidentified man was found floating in the North Sea, weighed down with cast-iron cobblers' shoe lasts, but decades later, it remains a mystery, despite an unexpected connection to Australia. And in London, an unhoused man discovered frozen to death in a Chelsea doorway remained unidentified for more than 30 years before a simple clue finally identified him... Connecting all three cases is the work of Locate International, the volunteer-led charity that revisits long-forgotten missing person and unidentified body cases using genealogy, DNA, archival research and fresh investigative thinking. So, why did it take three decades to identify The Chelsea Man as Vincent Akpiroroh? Could advances in forensic science finally solve the mystery of the North Sea Man? And will Melanie Hall's killer ever be brought to justice? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat school photos, placentas and more on Eavesdroppin’.
