Eavesdroppin'

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.

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? You decide!

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chat about Terrence Stamp, Dirk Bogarde, Charlotte Rampline, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast.

Geordie begins with a revisit of the Pricks & Privacy episode from Season 3, episode 6, where she looks at the serious topic of needle spiking. What is needle spiking? Why has it become a new date-rape phenomena in the UK? Are women being pricked and injected, or is it something else? Who is The London Monster? What is Piquerism?

How are Holly and Phil wrapped up in all of this? And will Charles and Camilla ever agree to take DNA tests? Why would you want those two as your parents anyway?

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.

What’s phrogging?

This week on Eavesdroppin', Geordie & Michelle look at a hottie conspiracy theorist and the suave hijacker DB Cooper...

What happened to UFO hunter and world-renowned British conspiracy theorist Maxwell Bates Spiers? Handsome, high energy and full of wacky theories, Max was and in-demand speaker and panelist all over the world on subjects as diverse as UFOs, the paranormal and political conspiracy theories. So when he died suddenly in Poland in 2016 at a friend’s home, the conspiracy theories turned inwards, fuelled by poor police work from the Polish authorities and a mysterious text from Max to his mother. Was he murdered? Was foul play involved? Or did he die from dodgy Xanax? Listen now to Geordie’s deep dive.

Michelle follows with the mysterious mystery of DB Cooper. In 1971, Dan Cooper paid 20 bucks at Portland airport for a flight to Seattle and boarded a Northwest Orient flight wearing a dark suit, a tie with a tie clip and an attache case. He ordered some booze, lit up a cig and then handed one of the flight attendants a note saying he wanted 200,000 US dollars, 4 parachutes and that he had a bomb in his bag. What ensued was quiet chaos. Dan jumped out of the plane, clutching the money, and was never seen again. So what happened to DB Cooper? Who the hell is Dan Cooper? And where's the money? Listen now to hear Michelle discuss recent thoughts and theories.
