Conning the Con

Get Ready for Something Special: Watching Two Detectives

Introducing 'Watching Two Detectives': A Gripping New Podcast

A new podcast titled 'Watching Two Detectives' is set to launch, hosted by retired New South Wales homicide detectives Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan. Initially conceived to explore old case files each episode, the podcast's direction shifted when they covered the murder of Michael Furlong. This case transformed the first episode into a full season titled 'If Tomorrow Never Comes.' The podcast embodies the emotional journey of the detectives and the victim's son, Luke, who had long awaited closure. Listeners can subscribe and gain early access to the entire season on Apple Podcasts or Patreon.

We wanted to share this episode of The Bravery Academy because we believe it will resonate with the listeners of Conning the CON - we know you are all for fighting injustice!

JUSTICE FOR JACOB

Season 2 Episode 7

A Brother's Relentless Fight for Truth with Eric Carter-Landin 

In this powerful episode of the Bravery Academy, Emma is joined by Eric Carter-Landin. Eric speaks candidly about his continued fight for justice, following the loss of his brother, Jacob, who was brutally murdered 37 years ago. Eric opens up about his childhood, dealing with domestic abuse, neglect, and violence, and his ongoing struggle to guarantee the safety of others from his brother's perpetrator. He reveals his painful journey dealing with law enforcement and legal authorities and the challenges he has had to overcome. During the conversation, he highlights the importance of openly discussing domestic abuse and violence, and his determination to give a voice to the voiceless through his true-crime podcast, non-profit work, and advocacy.

EP 7 CONnecting the dots

Sadly, we are coming to the end of the Tonka Trilogy. The non-fiction, fiction book that has had Emma and I, and hopefully you, our dear listeners, letting out the odd chuckle and gaffawf! 

In the final episode, let's just say, you will be up in arms when they hear about Andrews 12 hour surveillance shift, with nothing but an earpiece and the piss-soaked clothes on his back - truly....is there no health and safety for our spies! The audacity of the Australian Government! 

At least he didn't have to break character to take a toilet break! 

And with that, we are going dark.

Unless anyone out there fancies taking up the mantle as Andrew's ghostwriter and sending us in the sequels.......

We will be waiting,

[email protected] 

....just saying.

EP 5 Silence of the CON's

It has been a hot minute since we originally recorded the first four episodes of the Tonka Trilogy. Unfortunately, the last episode ended-up cut short because of a troublesome cat! 

So we stopped the recording back in 2019 but never fear, we are picking it back up where we left off, but this time in 2023, which is a bit of madness as, Emma and I have not read the script since then. 

So a full four years on, join us as we dive into the final chapters of the Tonka Trilogy!

EP 4 MisCONstrued - Guilt By Association

Welcome back to episode four of the Tonka trilogy bonus series a story, just so unbelievable, you couldn't write it. Unless, of course, you're Andrew Tonks! It seems like the obvious move. Right? 

But before we dive back into Andrew's failed Pulitzer entry, lett me remind you of what's actually going on in the real world at the time of this recording. 

Emma is still a hundred thousand dollars out of pocket, give or take..... obviously more take if you're Andrew!

 Behind the scenes, she's working with the police to build a case against him. However, Andrew has managed to slip the net. 

In the time it took for the police to issue an arrest warrant for Andrew. He was busy sunning himself back in Tasmania, not wasting a hot minute before he was back on dating sites.

And while Andrew is pulling out all his favorite lines on Danielle, his new Australian girlfriend, Emma and I are hoping and praying for Andrew to be caught….

Well, that was priority number one. But if we couldn't have that.....

Then for God's sake, at least send us chapter six of the Tonka Trilogy. 

"Becoming a Spy, WTF! I wanted to be a businessman"

 and a full 19 days of being left dangling off this particular cliff. 

"So this is where the party at, he has across the room,"

 Emma's inbox pings again…..

EP 3 Top Secret CONtracts

Welcome back to this Tonka Trilogy's bonus series. If you're enjoying it, please do feel free to leave us a five-star Apple review. 

So let's jump straight back to that barmy Central Otago Evening in April 2019 when only a few hours earlier, Emma's inbox pings announcing the arrival of the first five chapters of the aforementioned trilogy.

Now, I have to say it has been quite fascinating listening back to this as I edit because, at the time of the recording, we had no idea that a few months later we would end up interviewing some of the people that get a special mention in today's episode, like Andrew's ex-girlfriend. Her name makes an appearance in today's episode, but as for the story that he spins, well I think Kate said it best back in episode eight of Conning The CON "Andrew, eh, he couldn't lie straight, even in bed."

EP 2 CONsumating a Threesome

Welcome back to episode two of the Tonka Trilogy's bonus series, the autobiography, penned by Serial Con Artist Andrew Tonks, to convince my little sister, Emma, that he has lived a life worthy of a ghostwriter:

 "Introduction, a brief on the possible ghostwriter or myself, depending on my skill. My spelling infatuation sucks, so more likely someone else interviewing me"

"he's literally thinking, he's writing this. We're gonna really, feel bad if this is a true story." 

Well, spoiler alert, this won't be populating the non-fiction shelves of your local library anytime soon. And as I said last episode, apologies for the not so flash audio at my end of this recording.

The lesson there is always to be prepared. You just never know when the world's most unassuming spy is getting ready to spill the tea. So let's fire up the time machine and head back to April 2019.

EP 1 It's CONplicated

Well, it's been a hot minute since we released Conning The CON to the World back in 2021, and since then, top of the list of questions asked is where can we hear the whole Tonka Trilogy? And so without further ado, we are sharing the actual recordings we made as we received the Tonka Trilogy. 

It's probably the equivalent of the UK show GoggleBox, if you've ever heard of it, where you watch people react to TV shows. But you know, this is kind of the podcast version. 

Obviously, we can't get into Andrew's mind and understand what the hell he was thinking when he sat down and tipity typed out this bonkers attempt to convince Emma he was actually a spy, but we can share how we received it at the time. So to set the tone for these Tonka Trilogy bonus episodes, there is a lot of laughter in them, which might seem slightly incongruous with the rest of the podcast, but do keep it in mind.

As we recorded this, we were completely gobsmacked that this was Andrew's next move. And of course, Emma was spending the other 90% of her days in this state of anxiety keeping up the pretense that she was still dating this con man. 

So these recordings are the 10% of the day that we could finally have a little laughter therapy because imagine if you will

you've just found out that your boyfriend of six months is not only a serial conman but is trying to convince you that he's the world's most unassuming spy. 

I mean, I'm not sure that the term laughable has ever been more appropriate to a situation. 

And without further ado, let's take a little time machine back to April 2019 when Emma's inbox has just pinged with the latest email from Andrew......
