This week on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at a couple of cults...Have you heard of the Zizians? They're the cult you have when you're not having a cult because there's apparently no leader, no organisation and no group. However, there are whole lot of deaths and a whole lotta convoluted twists and turns! A radical group of trans-gender geniuses that grew out of the Bay Area’s rationalist and vegan communities, the Zizians are so-named because of the main figurehead, Ziz (previously known as Jack LaSota). Their journey from being a fringe offshoot of rationalist culture out to save the world from AI, to shootouts and stabbings is a wild ride...Geordie follows with a look at the Sovereign Citizens Movement, AKA the SovCits. They're a kinda loose anti-government collective who believe they are independent of societal laws and authority, ie, that they don't have to pay taxes or restaurant bills, don't need a driving license and aren't bound by courts and rulings, because they believe the government is illegitimate. It’s not so much an organised cult but more of a conspiracy-driven ideology connected to various scams and anti-government violence. Geordie dives into charismatic leader Mark Christopher and the time he tried to shut down a coroner's court in the UK - listen now!

This week on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle discuss prophets, predictions, telepathy and twins...How accurate are psychic predictions?

This week on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle discuss two tragic celebrity deaths...Geordie heads to Jamaica this episode to look at the life and tragic death of reggae legend Peter Tosh. On September 11, 1987, when Peter Tosh was brutally murdered in his own home, the world was stunned to lose a musical icon. But for the people who were with Peter in his last horrifying moments, they all told police they recognised his murderer – a friend of the singer called Denis ‘Leppo’ Lobban. So why did Denis turn from friend to murderer? What was his motivation? What did Peter do to Denis – if anything? Listen now!When 32-year-old Hollywood actress Brittany Murphy suddenly died of pneumonia and anaemia in her home in December 2009, her death was ruled accidental but preventable. But five months later, when her sketchy husband Simon Monjack also died from pneumonia and anaemia, the conspiracy theories went wild about what was REALLY happened. Was black mould involved? How about drugs? Coercive control? Did the government have something to do with it?

This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie & Michelle discuss two miscarriages of justice...When Kathleen Folbigg's son died from SIDS in Australia in 1989, it was a tragedy for her and her husband Craig. So they tried for a second child, who tragically died from epilepsy, aged 8 months, in 1991. When the Folbigg's third child died aged 10 months from a respiratory infection, suspicious were raised. And when the couple's fourth child died, the finger was pointed at Kathleen. There was no evidence, only some sad writings in a diary, yet she was charged with murder and manslaughter and sentenced to 30 years in prison. For 20 years, Kathleen maintained her innocence from behind bars - and then the science of genetics changed everything. Listen now to find out more about Kathleen's story, the junk science behind 'Meadow's law' and the international scientific community who helped free and innocent woman.Geordie follows with an horrific case of mistaken identity. As Stephen Waldorf sat in the front seat of a yellow Mini on January 14, 1983, in London, he had no idea that he was being hunted by police. When the Mini hit a traffic jam, British police flew into action, shooting Stephen at almost point-blank range amidst heavy traffic. What they didn't realise was that they had mistaken him for escaped cross-dressing criminal David Martin. At the time, Stephen was a 26-year-old film editor who was in the wrong car at the wrong time. Listen now to find out what happened to Stephen and David Martin, and how this tragic incident led to a series of significant reforms to armed police policy and training in the United Kingdom.  So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chat about laughs at funerals, a terrifying Australian kidnapping case, Evil or Genius, AI doppelgängers and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast.

This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie & Michelle discuss witches, bitches, ghosts, aliens and UFOs...In a century long long ago, Geordie looks at the last witch burned alive in Ireland - the irrepressible Bridget Cleary. Young, smart and entrepreneurial, Bridget was a bit of a live wire in her small rural town. No harm, no foul, you'd think, except when she fell ill at the age of 26, her husband claimed she'd been overtaken by a fairy and burned her alive. Nasty. Listen now for the details! Geordie also examines the naughty Bell Witch from Tennessee, also known as Kate, who in the early 1800s, haunted, tormented and terrorised the John Bell family with tragic consequences. They did have slaves, so, you know. Listen now to hear the story!Michelle follows with two UFO stories, beginning with an Aussie sighting in Western Australia. In late 1991 at the Harold E Holt naval base in Exmouth, Annie Farinaccio had been partying at the base and stayed there too late to get home safely. Cadging a lift to Exmouth with two police officers, she made the 5km journey home with them, expecting an uneventful ride. Except the officers saw something weird in the sky - and it wasn't the first time! Listen now to hear what happened next! She follows with another UFO story - this time, in Varginha, Brazil, when three young girls spotted an oily alien with three lumps on its head in some weeds. Was it an alien? A stray dog? Or a homeless person?

This week on Eavesdroppin’, Geordie & Michelle discuss muses...Despite having an anti-feminist spasm about the whole concept of muses, this week Michelle dives in to look at the life of Marianne Ihlen, a Norwegian woman who was the muse to three different men! When Marianne met a guy called Axel Jensen, it set her on a path to Hydra, which led her to meeting Leonard Cohen and having an almost decade-long relationship with him. The inspiration for many songs, Marianne and Leonard's story runs the gamut of emotions, culminating in an email that set the internet on fire...Geordie follows with a little history lesson on Greek muses before looking at the life of the coolest girl in the world, Chloe Sevigny. Authentic and independent, Geordie digs into what makes her a modern-day muse. She then looks at the tragic life of Edie Sedgwick, before ending with the life of art muse, Kiki de Montparnasse - the woman behind the surrealist photographer Man Ray.So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chat about people pleasers, fleeces and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast.
