Show Notes
This week, we’re heading Down Under for a truly mad tale suggested to us by listener Georgia in Melbourne!
Ned Kelly is one of Australia’s most infamous criminals – and one of its greatest anti-heroes. Hazel tells Shane all about the Kelly family's path from rural Ireland to even more rural Australia in a story featuring thieving, scrapping and an incredibly poor acting performance from Mick Jagger. Plus, we introduce our new all-time favourite character: arise Ah Fuk.
