  • HALLOWEEN: The death of River Phoenix, plus ghost stories from London's cemeteries
    Oct 30 2024

    Happy Halloween! On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at Halloween cemetery stories plus the death of River Phoenix - a Halloween Gawn Too Soon…

    Have you heard of the Magnificent Seven? Not the Western, but London’s magnificent seven private cemeteries with hauntings galore! In honour of Halloween, Geordie recounts some cemetery folklore, starting with the story of L. a wealthy publisher from the early 1930s who had a ghostly encounter at

    Kensal Green Cemetery with an old flame… She then investigates the Highgate Vampire, some scary black magic encounters, dark figures, stakes through bodies

    and more!

    Michelle then follows with one of the most hauntingly tragic deaths of the 1990s – River Phoenix. On October 30, 1993, Hollywood actor River Phoenix had come off a day of shooting and was hyped to go Johnny Depp's LA club, The Viper Room, to jam with his mates, including Flea from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. But things didn't work out as planned and instead of playing on stage with friends on Halloween, River ended up dying on the pavement outside the club from a deadly speedball. What happened that night? Who gave him the speedball? RIP River.

    So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about Couples Therapy, Dan the Post,

    telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

  • MAYDAY: The Überlingen air disaster, plus the kid in the cockpit tragedy
    Oct 23 2024

    On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at air disasters…

    On 1 July 2002, BAL Bashkirian Airlines Flight 2937 from Moscow hit a DHL cargo plane mid air above the German town on Überlingen, near the Swiss border. There were no survivors. How could a tragedy like this occur? Were the pilots to blame? Was the air-traffic controller at fault? Were the planes suffering technical difficulties? Listen now to Geordie’s take on this tragedy and the devastating consequences in the aftermath.

    When we board a plane, how do we know who’s really behind the wheel? On 23 March 1994, Aeroflot 593 departed Moscow for Hong Kong. The plane never arrived. As one of the most avoidable air crashes in aviation history, what really happened on that flight to send the plane crashing into a Siberian mountain range? Was it a flight-system malfunction? Pilot incompetence? Or were there kids in the cockpit that put the plane on a flight path to f*cked? It’s a harrowing ride, so fasten your seatbelts and adopt the brace position for Michelle’s deep dive into this terrible tragedy.

    So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about MAFS UK, Christmas food and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

  • MISSING IN THE WOODS: What happened to Terrence Woods Jr? And the off-grid tragedy of Rebecca Vance
    Oct 9 2024

    On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at heartbreaking stories of people who went into the woods and never returned…

    When 26 year old Terrence Woods Jnr signed up for a TV production job that would take him deep into the wild Idaho mountains, his father expected Terrence to be away filming for around 6 weeks, then back home to Maryland. Sadly, Terrence never returned from the trip and the truth of what happened remains a puzzling mystery that confounds his father, his friends and former colleagues. Did Terrence really run off a cliff? Was he struggling with mental-health issues? Or is there something else at play? Listen now for the lowdown.

    Geordie follows with the heartbreaking case of Colorado mother Rebecca Vance, who took her sister Christine and her 13 year old son, Talon, into the woods and never returned. In August 2022, during the height of the pandemic’s conspiracy-theory frenzy, Rebecca, who had no outdoor-survival skills, convinced her sister and Talon to exit civilisation so they could live a life off-grid on a 10,000ft mountain in Colorado. In winter. They had a tent, some packets of noodles and a handful of life straws for purifying water. What happened next is a tragedy that could so easily have been avoided. Why did Rebecca want to live in the wilderness? How did she choose such a remote spot? And what happened once she got to the middle of nowhere? Listen now to find out!

  • CULTS & CONSPIRACIES: The Blackburn Cult, the Rhesus Negative blood-type conspiracy & more!
    Oct 2 2024

    On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at cults and conspiracies…


    In 1929, the body of a woman called Willa Rhodes was found by police under the floorboards of her foster parents’ home. This gruesome discovery led police to the bizarre Blackburn cult, run by mother-daughter duo May Blackburn and Ruth Rizzio. Did archangel Gabriel really tell the pair to write a book that would end the world? Did May really bake a cult member to death? And were May and Ruth really the ‘Two Witnesses’ from the bible or just a couple of hustlers? Listen now to find out!


    Do you know your blood type? According to some internet conspiracy theorists, if you’re Rhesus Negative, you might be part alien! This week, Michelle dives into this blood-type conspiracy and why some people think there's something to it… She then looks at a UFO-based theory that there are aliens walking among us and the Black Knight Satellite Theory – UFO or just a space blanket? You decide!

  • SECOND CHANCES: Reincarnation, medical miracles and near death experiences
    Sep 25 2024

    On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at reincarnation, synchronicity and near death experiences...


    In December 1926, a baby girl named Shanti Devi was born in Delhi, India. When Shanti was 4 years old, she surprised her parents by claiming she was not Shanti Devi but a woman called Lugdi. Over the next few years, Shanti continued to astonish her parents with memories of a previous life where she had been married and living in a far away town called Mathura. Listen now to hear Geordie recount some of Shanti's incredible recollections of her life as Lugdi and why her story is considered proof that reincarnation exists...


    Michelle follows with a look at a near death experience, a medical miracle and the power of synchronicity. As our Eavesdroppers will know, Michelle's mum Jen was recently gravely ill in hospital. One evening, Michelle watched a YouTube video about the incredible near-death experience of a woman called Anita Moorjani and it changed her perspective on her mum's illness and how to approach it. Listen now to hear about Jen's journey and recovery, Anita's near death experience and how medical miracles really can happen.

    Sep 18 2024

    On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie & Michelle look at killer lovers...


    In 2014 in Western Australia, Amy Wensley had a fight with her partner, called her mum to say she and her two young daughters were fleeing the family home and she'd see her soon. Fifteen minutes later, Amy was dead. In this week's chilling episode, Michelle looks at the heartbreaking case of Amy Wensley. Why did the police classify it as a suicide? How could Amy have pulled the trigger of a shotgun if she was sitting on her trigger hand? And why was the last pic on her camera-roll a selfie of her holding the shotgun? Listen now to hear how this case played out...


    Geordie follows with the mysterious case of Gabe Watson and Tina Thomas. When the Alabama pair married in October 2003, their honeymoon 11 days later was meant to be the scuba-diving trip of a lifetime - except the dive went wrong and Tina paid with her life. Simple accident? Or was foul play involved? A five-year investigation, a coronial inquest and two criminal trials later, along with 16 different accounts from Gabe of what happened that day, paint a different story. Listen now and let us know what you think happened.
