This week, Geordie & Michelle dives look at hidden messages... If you were watching telly on the millennium New Year's Eve, you probably saw the word 'Eternity' emblazoned across the Sydney Harbour Bridge in gorgeous cursive handwriting. Like millions around the world, you probably had no idea of its significance and this week, Michelle digs into the mystery behind the man who wrote the word 'Eternity' in chalk on Sydney's streets for more than 30 years... She then moves on to look at a strange phenomena called the Toynbee Tiles that are pressed into road tar around the USA, followed by the Max Headroom TV channel hijacking, and the strange messages implanted into a sculpture at the CIA headquarters in America. So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the pair chat the dark side of war, Roald Dahl, Beatles songs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’.

This week, Geordie dives into the weird world of creepy masks... When Stanley Kubrick’s 1999 film Eyes Wide Shut first hit cinemas, there’s no way the director could’ve predicted what would come next. Not only would the film get swept up in conspiracy theories involving Jeffrey Epstein and shadowy elite cabals, but that one unforgettable scene would basically ruin Venetian carnival masks for an entire generation. In this episode, Geordie nips through the weirder side of Kubrick conspiracies before zooming out on the world of creepy masks. This includes the unsettling leather mask linked to Alexander Peden—with human hair and teeth included—plus the whole strange saga around Napoleon Bonaparte’s death mask (what a palaver!). She also digs into how “Rescue Annie,” the CPR training dummy, was based on a real French death mask... So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the pair chat French-Canadian masked band Angine de Poitrine, water cremations, Seinfeld and more, only on Eavesdroppin’.

This week, Geordie and Michelle are heading to Kingston, New York, for the true-life case that inspired the show Michelle is currently obsessed with, DTF St Louis... When Thomas Kolman was found in his car outside a gym in 2011, the case seemed to turn into something much darker involving a dentist called Gilberto Núñez. Firstly, the pair were friends. Secondly, Gilberto was doing the do with Thomas's wife, Linda. Then there were sedatives, strange behaviour, fake CIA documents, crazy texts... By the time it reached court, you had a jury being asked to decide whether this was a calculated murder or something far less clear-cut, and the outcome isn’t quite what you’d expect. And then you have DTF St Louis, which was loosely based on this strange case. So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat the bellybuttons, Banksy, Jason Bateman and more, only on Eavesdroppin’.

Have you ever seen Gone Girl? This week, Geordie & Michelle look at a true-crime story of a home invasion that went pear-shaped... When a break-in in Vallejo, California, turned into a bizarre kidnapping case, Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn found themselves at the centre of a story that police — and the media — didn’t believe. What initially sounded like a real-life Gone Girl quickly spiraled into something far more disturbing: a case of disbelief, public shaming and a justice system that got it wrong. In this ep, we look at the early morning break-in to Denise’s sudden reappearance, and the shocking way authorities handled it all. Why did investigators dismiss Aaron’s account so quickly? How did Denise go from victim to suspect in the court of public opinion? What really happened behind the scenes as the truth slowly came out? And how could a narrative take hold before the facts were fully understood? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat the moon landing, Chick-Fil-A, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’.

Geordie and Michelle head into the mountains this week with a series of high-altitude disasters — but what really happened out there? When when Michel Trudeau (son on Pierre and brother of Justin) organised a ski trip with a pal, no one expected him to be swept away by an avalanche. His body has never been recovered, leaving questions that still linger... Then there’s the recent tragedy in Patagonia, where a group of experienced hikers were caught in extreme conditions, turning an adventure of a lifetime into a hiking horror show. Michelle also looks at the case of Nicolas Vanderbilt, who set off on a hike with a buddy and was never seen again — no clear trail, no real answers. These tragedies all beg the question - who is really in charge? Man or nature? The pair also dig into the deeply disturbing Khamar Daban incident, where a group of young hikers in Siberia died in bizarre and terrifying circumstances. Did they really succumb to hypothermia? Or does the group's sudden panic, strange behaviour and rapid descent into chaos point to something more sinister hiding in the mountain ice? You decide!

Geordie and Michelle dive into two extraordinary alien abduction stories — or are they? When Marissa Littrell was searching for a college roommate who could provide a bit of support with her blindness, a girl named Raechel was recommended by a U.S. Air Force officer called Harry. At first, it all seemed perfectly ordinary… until it emerged that Harry was a UFO crash investigator and Raechel was his alien-human hybrid foster child. Is Raechel really an alien? What strange “gift” did she give Marissa? And how much of this story holds up under scrutiny? You decide! The pair then turn to the surreal case of Elizabeth Klarer, who claimed she fell in love with a hunky alien named Akon from the planet Meton — and even gave birth to his child, a boy named Ayling. A cosmic romance or an elaborate fantasy? Is Meton a real place somewhere in the universe, or a utopian invention? From mysterious encounters to out-of-this-world love stories, there’s a lot to ponder and even more to unpack.

Geordie and Michelle deep dive a confusing Australian true-crime case: Gilham family murders. In 1993 in Woronora, Australia, Stephen and Helen Gilham were stabbed to death, their house was set on fire and their son Christopher was found dead downstairs from multiple stab wounds. Older son, Jeffrey Gilham, claimed he had been sleeping in a boatshed in the back yard before rushing to the house after hearing screams, telling police his brother Christopher confessed to killing their parents before setting their mother’s body on fire. Jeffrey admitted stabbing his brother in a rage and initially pleaded guilty to manslaughter, however, after a few plot twists, prosecutors eventually charged Jeffrey with the murder of his parents as well. But that's not the end of this true-crime story... Listen now to discover how Jeffrey was eventually released from prison and why his conviction was overturned.

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle ponder whether the moon landing was a small step or a giant hoax... Do you believe the Americans really landed on the moon? Most people do, but there’s always been a vocal group of conspiracy theorists who say otherwise. In this episode, Geordie dives into the origins of one of the biggest conspiracy theories of the 20th century: the idea that Apollo 11 was a hoax, plus she explores the book that first ignited public doubt and how the story spiralled into global fascination. She also looks at Cold War tensions, government cover-ups and the mysterious case of Russia’s secret cosmonauts alongside the two Italian brothers who claimed to have intercepted secret radio transmissions that they believe prove something strange was going on behind the scenes of the space race. From missing astronauts to doctored footage and the politics of paranoia, this episode looks at how one small step for man became one giant leap for conspiracy.

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at a smooth-talkin' serial killer NOT called The Snake... Ever heard of a serial killer so smooth he made everyone think he was a nice guy who was helping them? That’s Charles Sobhraj — part conman, part celebrity criminal and known as The Serpent. Born in Saigon in 1944, he spent the 1970s drifting along Asia’s hippie trail, targeting free-spirited Western backpackers. One minute he was a friendly gem dealer or a rescuer helping with lost passports, the next, his victims were dead — poisoned, drowned or even burned. He stole their identities, travelled on their passports and lived off their money, all while committing at least a dozen murders across Thailand, Nepal and India. When he was finally caught in 1976, Charles Sobhraj turned prison into his own 'hotel', bribing guards, giving interviews and even escaping by drugging everyone at his own jailhouse party. So where is he now? Is he still in prison? And why is the world obsessed with The Serpent? Listen now!

On Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at two near-death experiences with uncanny similarities… In 1982, a woman called Karen in Alaska went into hospital for what was meant to be routine back surgery - and almost died on the operating table.

What did they experience? Who did they meet? What did they learn from the spirits and divine guides they encountered? And why is kindness important?

This week, Michelle shallow dives into the legend and folklore behind one of rock n' roll's most normal couples - Paul & Linda McCartney... When Paul and Linda met in 1967 at the Bag O Nails pub in London, you might think that it was all plain sailing from that first date to their wedding at Marylebone registry office 2 years later... Couldn't be further from the truth. There was shagging, there were missed connections and lots of obstacles to overcome, but by the time they married in 1969, just before the Beatles broke up, the pair were inseparable. In the early 1970s, after kids, a breakdown and a time-out on their farm in Kintyre, the pair formed the band Wings, which allowed Paul to continue making music while keeping Linda - and the kids - by his side. Despite criticism of the band, the media bullying of Linda and dubious tours, time would prove that the band, like their marriage, could endure almost anything and still come out on top. Listen now to the story of how they got together - and stayed together - to become one of rock’s most enduring love stories.

This week, Geordie revisits Brocarde—yes, that Brocarde, the woman who once claimed to be in love with a ghost named Edwardo.
