We know so many of you have been intrigued by the Erin Patterson case in Australia and have been chatting with us about your thoughts, so when we approached Tam from True Crime Bookcase who attended the trial in Australia recently and is an Erin Patterson guru we were delighted she was up for chatting with us on the podcast. 

Tam runs the Instagram account True Crime Bookcase - If you love reading about True Crime, you need to start following her - we've gotten so many brilliant recommendations from her, and she will give you the honest truth - especially when it comes to Erin.   Go follow Tam at 

https://www.instagram.com/truecrimebookcase/

This is a fascinating episode that gives real and genuine insight into what it's like to sit inside a highly publicised trial and get the real story from someone who was there, and is happy to answer all of our questions.. 

We also talk about the true crime genre and how it's changed over the last ten years, ethics and Tik Tok, Australian cases Tam is obsessed with, true crime books that are totally overrated, and the plethora of Ted Bundy books out now. 

If you want to check out the podcast, Trace, as mentioned by Tam.  https://open.spotify.com/show/1ivHfQf6P5MkkYibN6QVWA?si=1866fff46fe94187

We can't wait to hear what you think about this episode, and a huge thank you to Tam for chatting with us.

This month Marti is covering a request from our good friend Wayne over at Eerie Edinburgh whose advert you will have heard at the top of the episode. 

It's a slightly different one for Marti, its a very vintage story based in 1826, in Campbelltown, a small city located on the outskirts of Sydney where a young man sees a ghost, but the ghost isn't just any ordinary ghost....  

We'd love to hear your thoughts on this one..

For our final episode of 2024  and our 50th episode!!!!
We're bringing you an intriguing mystery from Australia which is all about shared psychosis so this episode might not be for everyone, if you don't feel in a place to listen to this episode right now please give this one a miss.

On Monday 29 August 2016 Mark Tromp and his wife Jacoba got into a car for a “tech-free road trip” with their three adult children Riana, 29, Mitchell, 25, and Ella 22.
 
They headed north in Ella's car only to turn up one by one a week later having travelled more than (995 miles) and ended with a police investigation and two of the family members in psychiatric care.

One investigating police officer from the Silvan district described it as "the most bizarre case I've seen in 30 years".

We also talk about Christmas, ( a lot ) Santa warning for this episode, though if you have anyone young enough to believe in the magic of Christmas, they probably shouldn't be listening to this podcast!  The Gilmore Girls, Wham - standard, road trips and imaginary friends..
