G’day mates and welcome to All Aussie Hour, the new podcast from Melissa Mason and Josie Rozenberg-Clarke. You might remember them from the hit podcasts All Aussie Mystery Hour and The Zest Is History, and to be quite honest their new offering is… basically the same.

Each week, one host will spin the other a yarn from Australia’s rich and, let’s face it, completely batshit past. Strap in for zesty tales, weird mysteries and potentially even some research!

Tune in Tuesday 30 April for the first episode!

This week, Mel tells Josie about saltwater crocodiles - those terrifying, dinosaur creatures that inhabit pretty much any body of water you'd fine in the Top End of Australia. Cunning, smart and absolutely ginormous, they've terrorised Aussies forever - but they're pretty cool, if you forget about how they can swallow you whole.

We're back! We're doing mysteries! It's like All Aussie Mystery Hour except it's not! This episode, Mel takes Josie through The Button Man, a mysterious guy who lives in the Victorian High Country area for periods each year. The thing is, there have also been several eerie disappearances in the same area over the last few years. Cue media suspicion of The Button Man - but is he just a prankster freaking out bushwalkers?
