We've all seen the video...we've all had or know someone who's done a 'Bradbury' - being a winner only because everyone else fumbled.This wasn't how Steven Bradbury imagined his hard earned and well deserved professional speed skating career would pan out; becoming an iconic Aussie moment for all the wrong reasons after dedicating his whole life up to that point to the sport.

In this episode, we delve in to the 27 years of Steven Bradbury's life before the famed moment - the dedication, sacrifice and near death experiences that will ultimately change your perception of the man. His luck didn't just come in the minutes of the 2002 Olympic Speed Skating Final - it was created through years and years (and years) of gruelling passion towards a sport that he put on the Australian map.

In the year 1885, a majestic late-Victorian manor was built by pioneer Christopher Crawley in Junee, New South Wales. Perched dramatically on a hillside overlooking the town, the property harbours a dark legacy of family tragedies, including the deaths of Crawley in 1910 and his wife Elizabeth in 1933, followed by years of neglect before its 1963 restoration. We delve deeply into the paranormal activity reported at the site—apparitions, unexplained sounds, and ghostly encounters, leaving us to discuss the question - do you believe in ghosts?

You may have been through Mawson, the suburb of Canberra, gazed upon Mount Mawson in TAS or maybe even driven down Douglas Mawson Drive in Dubbo NSW (to name a few). But what you may not know is the incredible yarn of Sir Douglas Mawson and his expedition to Antarctica in 1912-13, and why he has his name honoured in so much Australian culture.

Pre WW1, Mawson and a small crew set out on an expedition across the treacherous icy wasteland of Antarctica for a scientific research mission. After a relatively pleasant start the trip quickly took a turn in what would become one of the most hectic stories of mental fortitude and survival you'll ever hear, despite all the luck falling against the odds of making it out of the unexplored land alive. We hope you enjoy this one!

If you think surviving a modern shipwreck would be tough, imagine facing one in 1629...No GPS. No rescue flares. No hope from the sky. This is the chilling yarn of the Batavia, a wealthy Dutch flagship that smashed into a remote reef off Western Australia. But the shipwreck wasn’t the disaster. What happened next on the tiny, sun-baked island was far worse. This is a gripping 400-year-old tale of absolute power, desperate survival, rogue mutiny, and ultimate justice. Strap yourselves in.
