We've done it. 100 episodes of us talking mostly nonsense with poorly written and researched scripts. This week the three of us go through the history of our show, reminiscing and updating any new information that has come through. Take a stroll down memory lane together with us.

Thank you from the bottom of our heart for all the support. We love making this podcast and hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy making it.

Darwin was a vibrant and fun city in the 1970's. At least until Cyclone Tracy blew in on Christmas morning of 1974, carving a path of destruction unlike many we've seen in this country. This week, in an episode written while under the looming spectre of Cyclone Alfred in Brisbane a couple weeks ago, Aaron takes John and Sean through the tale of Australia's most notorious cyclone.

We're hitting two favourites in one again with World Wars and boats that go under the sea. This week John takes us through the history of the humble Submarine, one of the coolest inventions in human history.

It's not a phase! Edgar Allan Poe is a gothic icon, and we're sure you've heard of his work. If not, maybe crack open a book sometime! Or just listen to this episode, which requires no reading whatsoever, and hear the soothing voice of Aaron guiding John and Sean through the life and death of Edgar Allan Poe. It's basically ASMR, really.
