Urban Legends #2 - Pineapple Smoothie, No Ice & The Crown Casino Morgue

Welcome to the first episode in a series of upcoming quirky stories about Urban Legends, originally released on Patreon when we were making episodes.
All have an element of criminal seediness or conspiracy about them. And as they play out, we’ll get to the bottom of whether there’s any truth to these tales or if they’re purely myths.
In this first episode, we explore the rumours and realities of famed Italian furniture salesman, Franco Cozzo, and the gun-toting escapades of Melbourne grandmother, Ava Estelle.

Urban Legends #1 - Grand Sale & Grambo

We have decided to finish up making episodes for True Blue Crime.
This will undoubtedly be a surprise and disappointing for many people, but we want to finish things on our terms and now feels like the right time to do that. It’s a decision that we don't take lightly and we’ve been discussing for a while now, and we’ve reached it together.
When we started this show, we committed to ten episodes, and didn’t expect anyone outside of our partners, family and friends to listen to it. We were stunned when the downloads kept going up and more and more people were tuning in.  
Now we feel that we’ve taken the show in its current format with our current resources as far as we can. It's been a blast making these episodes for you all. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening, giving our show a chance, and following us throughout our journey. 
Shaun & Chloe
