The Legendary Tales

Adam (phoning in from the South of France) talks about a very famous British criminal and fugitive who evaded capture for 35 years. Isadora looks at two notorious art thieves - one who steals for the love of art, and one for the love of the game.

Isadora takes on the Unicorn - which grew out of the myths of India, and Adam gets to talk Pliny the Elder (again) when he tells his stories of Dragons. Plus they both give you advice on spells, and cooking these mythical beasts.

Adam learns about the Golden Age of the Dutch East India Trading Company, and the scientific explanation for ghost ships. Isadora travels around the world learning about a variety of headless horseman stories.

In celebration of Friday the 13th Isadora and Adam released their 13th episode, so they have done their first minisode on why 13 is a number millions of people fear.

Isadora investigates the tragic life of Howard Hughes and finds an admirable man. Adam looks at airships and blimps, including The Hindenburg disaster. And we both root for the return of blimps as a mode of transportation.

Adam looks at the theory behind the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, as well as the fabulous aviation history she left behind. Isadora teaches Adam (who was only 3 years old in 1997) about why Diana, Princess of Wales has such a legacy and why her death has created one of the biggest conspiracy theories in modern history.

Isadora looks at how Plato's writings have made their way into modern legends, while Adam tackles one of his biggest fears, the Ocean, as he looks at how most sea monster sightings are really just the elusive Oarfish.

Adam explains how the Japanese Shinigami and the Grim Reaper are not the same thing. And also explains the premise of one of his favourite anime Death Note. While Isadora gives you a whole load of practical advice on dealing with ghosts, luck and moving house within the Obeah spirituality. Specifically she looks at the Rolling Calf, the Golden Table, and how almost all spirits can be stopped by salt.

Isadora talks about two buildings in Australia, one still standing, and one which burnt in the 1800s, that highlight the competition between Sydney and Melbourne to be 'the' international city of Australia in the 1800's. Adam discusses a local legend of a building he has actually visited, and still remembers how much it made his skin crawl.

Isadora looks at how Joan of Arc was a mysterious tale built up around a very real, and troubled young girl. She investigates her cross-dressing, prophecies and how her lack of literacy could have contributed to her death. Adam takes on a fun tale of DB Cooper, who jumped out of a plane with a bunch of cash. There are a few suspects, but could DNA testing be the key to the mystery.
