In this podcast of Strange History, we take listeners on a journey through the thrilling and lawless era of the Australian bushrangers. We discuss the origins of bushranging, which began with escaped convicts in the early years of European settlements. The discovery of gold in the mid-19th century led to a wave of bushranging activity, with outlaws targeting gold escorts and isolated settlements. We also highlight the notorious Clark brothers, Johnny and Tom, who were active in New South Wales in the 1860s. Known for their violent behavior, the Clark brothers were eventually captured in 1867 after a gun battle with the police.

This episode of The Strange History Podcast was lovingly crafted with the help of ElevenLabs.io — the magical technology that gives Amy her time to sleep, eat, work and spend time with her dog Jack. While some might say she sounds too good to be true, we assure you, Amy is absolutely a real person… who just happens to have access to studio-grade AI vocal cords and an unnatural ability to pronounce “necromancy” without flinching. Any resemblance to an AI is purely coincidental — and mildly flattering. Dan the announcers name is really Bill and Patrick, the fake ad guy who thinks he is funny? well he is questionable at best. So yes, AI was used but the people are real and the shinanigans are.... well.... shinanigans.
