  • Re-Issue: The Falconio Mystery Continues - #120
    Jul 24 2025

    Earlier this month, Bradley Murdoch died in Alice Springs Hospital's palliative care unit. This episode is a re-issue of our episode from 2019, "The Falconio Mystery Continues".


    Show notes:

    Bradley John Murdoch isn't a good man, but did he murder Peter Falconio? That's the question posed by inimitable True Crime author Robin Bowles in her book DEAD CENTRE and she joins us to explain her exhaustive investigations. Most shocking of all, is the lack of evidence of any crime having been committed.

    Warning: please be advised this episode contains graphic content.


    You can visit Robin's website here.

  • Shortcut: Wollongong's Paedophile Network and the Murder of Frank Arkell
    Jul 20 2025

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


    Frank Arkell was Wollongong’s long-serving lord mayor and state MP (1974-1991), known for his flamboyant style and tireless advocacy for the city during a period of economic upheaval.


    Though widely respected in public, allegations about his private life and suspected links to a paedophile ring began to arise in later years.


    In 1998, Arkell was brutally murdered - a crime that shocked the city and brought those suspicions into sharper focus.


    In this episode, we speak with historian Erik Eklund, author of Pride, Politics and Perversion, a biography of Arkell.


    You can read Pride, Politics and Perversion here.
