NEW SHOW! Hi everyone Shaun here with a quick update on a new show.

While Chloe is busy with all things life, I'm back with a new show called Suburban Legends. Episodes featuring crimes, mysteries, conspiracies and hauntings, and ending with something lighter from pop culture or politics.

First episode drops next week! I’ll have a Buy Me a Coffee page to support the show, with one-off or recurring donations, extra content and perks.

Looking forward to being back on the microphone. Catcha soon!

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.

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.

Robbie and Amber spoke on the phone regularly, but fell out of touch as time went on. But then one day, all of a sudden, Amber was moving into Robbie’s house, which was a surprise to him.

He asked his Mum, Anne, why Amber was there, was she boarding with them now or something? Anne said words to the effect of ‘you know what your father’s like...”

Join Shaun and Chloe as they cover the disappearance of Amber Haigh and the death of Janelle Goodwin, two women who were involved with the same man, Robert Geeves.

It was mid afternoon on May the 7th 1990, and Wendy Davis was working at the Hollywood Hospital in Nedlands. 

She was at her desk, immersed in her work, when she heard a voice behind her ask ‘is it okay if I use the toilet?’

Wendy swivelled in her chair and saw a young Telecom worker, all of 20, 21 years old.

She nodded. A moment later Wendy felt a hand on her shoulder and another hand over her mouth…

Nicole awoke in her bed with someone next to her, but it wasn’t her boyfriend like she first thought. It was someone else. She grabbed his face, dug her fingernails in hard, and the man jumped up from the bed.

He was tall and wearing a light coloured silk kimono. Nicole screamed for her father in the next room, and the man fled from the house.

Nicole called the police and they attended the house, but the intruder had escaped, leaving behind just one clue as to his identity; the semen-stained white and apricot coloured kimono.
