Apple for the Teacher — True Crime
Apple for the Teacher

True crime stories in the school system – told by a teacher from Australia. For people looking for something different in the true crime genre, other than Ted Bundy or the Zodiac Killer. Diverse and lesser-known stories – an albino student murder in Africa, schoolgirl sexual slavery in Libya, a teacher beheaded in France, Polish teachers executed by the Nazis, just to name a few. School-based tragedies are also featured – a school bus stranded in a snowstorm, a school wiped out by a landslide, the drowning of students in a sinking ship. So join host Ana Thomas, as she presents the bad apples.

EP 206 - Don't Worry Be Happy (Part 2) Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

Eddie survived the Holocaust. What happened to him?

During WW2, the Nazis embarked on a sustained campaign to rid Europe of the Jewish race. Concentration camps submitted the Jews to unimaginable brutality, with millions being exterminated in the gas chambers. But despite all the odds, one man survived the so called death camps, going on to reach the ripe old age of 101. This is his story. The story of Eddie Jaku.

EP 204 - SPECIAL FEATURE - Tapes from the Darkside Feb 25, 2023

Show notes

This episode features one of my favourite podcasts - Tapes from the Darkside. I thought I would share this episode, which is the first of an 8 episode series. You can then listen to the rest wherever you get your podcasts. It's Season 5 - The Case of Daniel Shaver.

Tapes from the Darkside is a serialized true crime podcast.

Each season, we take one case and investigate it in-depth using primary audio from 911 calls, police interrogations and interviews, court proceedings, and any other relevant source we can find. Join us as we break down exactly what occurred, the potential motive behind each crime, and the moral/ ethical implications for those involved.
