The Monday Night Revue

In 1958 Lana Turner was one of the biggest names in Hollywood but her personal life was like something straight off a film set. Though she married 8 times she would have only one child, a daughter she was incredibly close to and who would endure abuse from a step-father and watch her mother be abused until one night it went too far.

In this episode, I look at the origins of Atropa belladonna—a plant whose name combines myth, beauty, and lethal intent. I then examine how its deadly properties were used in two real crimes: the 1977 poisoning committed by Roland Roussel, and the 1994 case involving Paul Agutter. This is a closer look at how ancient knowledge and modern motives collided through one toxic plant.

There are certain incidents that stay in the collective conscience and the Kings Cross Fire is one of them. Today I am lucky enough to be joined by my friend and Fire Investigator and forensics badass Matt Oakley who is going to talk us through some of the more technical aspects of this incident which not only changed laws but also protocols and enabled deeper understanding of fire behaviour.

In this exclusive Patreon episode, we delve into the harrowing story of Natascha Kampusch, an Austrian woman who was abducted at the age of 10 and held captive for over eight years. On 2nd March 1998, while walking to school in Vienna, Natascha was kidnapped by Wolfgang Přiklopil and confined in a concealed cellar beneath his garage in Strasshof. During her captivity, she endured physical and psychological abuse, including starvation and beatings. Her resilience led to a daring escape on 23 August 2006, when she seized an opportunity while cleaning Přiklopil's car. Natascha's ordeal has been chronicled in her autobiography, "3,096 Days," which was later adapted into a film. Join me as we explore the complexities of her captivity, the psychological dynamics between victim and captor, and her journey toward reclaiming her life.
