173 - The Baroness Of Floreana Island Feb 13, 2019

Show notes

In the 1930s German lovers Friedrich Ritter and Dore Stauch moved to the remote and uninhabited Floreana Island, hoping to leave society behind forever. All was going well but then another family arrived, hoping to share their island paradise and tensions flared. The final straw came when a mysterious woman claiming to be a baroness also turned up and claimed that she was going to build a hotel on the island. With the three parties all hating each other, it was only a matter of time before they clashed in a major way...

NOTE: The Baroness of Floreana Island AKA The Galapagos Affair, is in some ways a sequel to Dave's previous report, episode 170 about The Essex. So check that out if you're keen.

171 - Lizzie Borden, Axe Murderer? Jan 30, 2019

Show notes

"Lizzie Borden took an axe and gave her mother forty whacks/When she saw what she had done, she gave her father forty-one." OR DID SHE?

This week's episode is an old timey mystery, and for a pretty bleak topic, this is actually a very funny and silly episode.

170 - The Essex And The Real Life Moby Dick Jan 23, 2019

Show notes

In 1852, Herman Melville published what would much later become his most famous work... Moby Dick, or The Whale. He based this work upon a real life horror story that he'd read about. Twenty years earlier, a whaling ship called The Essex had been attacked and sunk by a giant sperm whale. Alone and literally in the middle of the ocean many thousands of miles from civilisation, the crew had to do some questionable things just to stay alive. This week's episode is all about their epic quest for survival.
