    A bloody scam: Theranos & the Elizabeth Holmes story

    This week, Geordie & Michelle look at crazy rise and fall of Theranos - the scam blood-testing company that fooled the world... Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes went from 19-year-old Stanford dropout to billionaire CEO of Theranos in just a few short years, convincing investors, politicians and the public that she had revolutionised blood testing via one drop of blood — until journalists, scientists and former employees exposed what was REALLY happening behind the scenes. So buckle up as we look at the wild rise and even wilder fall of Theranos, Elizabeth’s fraud conviction and her current prison sentence – and with Elizabeth potentially moving to a halfway house next year and Nathan Fielder’s newly released bizarre documentary You Can See Everything putting her back in the spotlight, the Theranos story clearly isn’t over yet.

    What happened to Nancy Guthrie?

    This week on Eavesdroppin' podcast, hosts Geordie & Michelle look at kidnappings with ransom notes... When Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of USA's Today presenter Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson home in February 2026, investigators immediately believed it was a kidnapping. There was blood at the house, disturbing doorbell-camera footage and, later, ransom notes demanding millions in Bitcoin. Then in July this year, new ransom notes were released claiming Nancy had died. So what's the real story? Is she still alive? Or did she perish? Six months on, there has still been no arrest and no confirmed sign of Nancy... Echoing Nancy’s disappearance, Michelle looks at another extraordinary kidnapping from back in 1969: the case of Muriel McKay, who was abducted from her London home after being mistaken for Rupert Murdoch’s wife, Anna. Two brothers were eventually convicted of her murder, but Muriel’s body has never been found, and more than 50 years later her family are still searching for answers.

    The Bogle-Chandler Mystery: Sex, lies & scandals

    This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at the open marriages, late-night affairs and randy scientists surrounding Australia's Bogle-Chandler mystery... On New Year's Eve 1963, two lovers slipped away for a secret rendezvous on the banks of Sydney's Lane Cove River. By morning, renowned CSIRO physicist Dr. Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler—the wife of one of his colleagues—were dead. What began as an illicit affair quickly became one of Australia's most baffling unsolved mysteries. There were no obvious injuries, no murder weapon and no clear cause of death. Rumours of espionage, jealous spouses, poisoning and even Cold War conspiracies were flying around as investigators struggled to explain how two healthy adults could die on the muddy banks of the river after a clandestine romantic encounter. In this episode, Geordie & Michelle explore the scandal that shocked Australia, the social stigma surrounding adultery in the early 1960s and the forensic investigation that took decades to reach an extraordinary conclusion. Was it murder, a tragic accident or something so bizarre that almost no one considered it possible?

    Cold Cases Unforgotten: Melanie Hall, The North Sea Mystery & The Chelsea Man

    This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at three missing persons cold cases that refused to stay buried... When 25-year-old Melanie Hall disappeared after a night out in Bath in 1996, police believed answers would come quickly, but nearly 30 years later, her murder remains unsolved. In Germany in 1994, the body of an unidentified man was found floating in the North Sea, weighed down with cast-iron cobblers' shoe lasts, but decades later, it remains a mystery, despite an unexpected connection to Australia. And in London, an unhoused man discovered frozen to death in a Chelsea doorway remained unidentified for more than 30 years before a simple clue finally identified him... Connecting all three cases is the work of Locate International, the volunteer-led charity that revisits long-forgotten missing person and unidentified body cases using genealogy, DNA, archival research and fresh investigative thinking. So, why did it take three decades to identify The Chelsea Man as Vincent Akpiroroh? Could advances in forensic science finally solve the mystery of the North Sea Man? And will Melanie Hall's killer ever be brought to justice? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat school photos, placentas and more on Eavesdroppin’.

    Nepal's Game of Thrones: The shocking Royal Massacre of 2001

    This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle head to Nepal to unpack one of the most shocking and controversial royal stories of modern times... On 1 June 2001, a routine Friday night family dinner at the Narayanhiti Royal Palace ended in unimaginable tragedy when King Birendra, Queen Aishwarya and seven other members of the Nepalese royal family were mercilessly gunned down - but by whom? The official investigation concluded that King BIrendra's son, the Crown Prince Dipendra, carried out the massacre before dying from his own injuries — but for many, that explanation raised as many questions as it answered, leading to the conspiracy theories that refuse to go away. Diving in, Geordie looks at the claims of palace intrigue and political cover-ups and an eerie legend dating back to 1769 that foretold the downfall of Nepal's Shah dynasty after ten generations. Is history colliding with myth, or has the truth been hiding in plain sight all along? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat murder dreams, backpacker travels and more on Eavesdroppin’.

    Going down: The Elevator Game, liminal spaces, Backrooms & the Elisa Lam case...

    This week, Geordie & Michelle. veer into the eerie world of liminal spaces, alternate realities and the unsettling idea that there might be places that exist just beyond our own... Have you heard of the Elevator Game? What began as a South Korean urban legend evolved into an internet paranormal ritual, spreading through horror forums and social media. The premise is simple but unsettling: enter an elevator in a building with at least ten floors, follow a precise sequence of button presses and you may find yourself transported to another dimension. That legend leads to one of the internet's most enduring mysteries: the case of Elisa Lam. What was she doing in that hotel elevator? Could her strange behavior have anything to do with the Elevator Game—or is that simply a modern myth layered onto a tragic real-life event? Geordie also explores the unsettling mythology of Backrooms, the psychology of liminal spaces and why these strange in-between places continue to haunt our imaginations. So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat dogs that eat poop, The Man With The Twisted Lip, Hanson and more, only on Eavesdroppin’.
