Hosts Nic and the Captain invite you to grab a chair, grab a beer and join them as they talk some true crime. This is no ordinary garage: it’s a rabbit hole of true crime, with a generous supply of alcohol and banter to lighten the load. From international atrocities to heinous stories on (US) home turf, dive head-first into a different case each week, and enjoy a cold one whilst your there. If you consider yourself an armchair detective, you’re in the right place, and you’re amongst friends. For the mystery-seeker, True Crime Garage presents an archive of missing persons, unsolved and cold cases, plus accounts of infamous serial killers and chilling solved cases. True Crime Garage has just one rule: don’t litter. Remember to not take yourself too seriously because if you do, nobody else will.

The Mermaid and the Lion is a scripted audio drama about two imperfect people who are working on perfecting their love for one another. All relationships are not created equal and no one has the right to determine if your situation is toxic but you. Staying married forever is almost an anomaly; and those who make it have a very dirty story to tell. Angel and Gazza believe they are on the right path to making it last; but the key to their success is understanding where they've been, what brought them together, and what keeps them in love. You may or may not agree with their decisions, interactions, or values but you are guaranteed to be entertained. Follow them through all of the drama, sex, trust issues, pain, growth, and friendship. The Mermaid and The Lion - An epic journey to death do us part.Mature Audience (18+)

Join us, two Paris Hilton enthusiasts / Australian icons and our long suffering producer on a self-absorbed road to life improvement, spiritual wellbeing and attention seeking. It’s time to navigate the new world (although be aware we have no idea where we are going)


“What Could Go Wrong” is an adventure for the modern day ‘Yes Wom*n’ that each week tackles the age old question “What if we just said yes to anything?”.

Bare witness to adventures such as; becoming attracted to a Tree Frog Medicine practitioner, traditional Javanese Vaginal Fogging, being locked out of a car by an abusive bird watcher, trialling motherhood, unveiling the actual Banksy*, Becoming the Sultan and Sultana of Brunei, Baptisms, Exorcisms, Pie Eating competitions, Axe Throwing etc etc.


Despite there being no man to politely open the door for us, we still manage to get inside of Dungeon Beach Studios each week to simultaneously bring you fresh content whilst crushing the patriarchy with our bare fists. Luckily we drink so much during recording we don’t need to pay for public transport home because ambulances are free.


So click on the subscribe button as fast as our producer Mouth used to click delete on ‘girls kissing’ from her internet browser when she was 12. I mean really, What Could Go Wrong??

Was sind die Dinge, die wirklich im Leben zählen? Was die größten Glücksmomente? Wie geht man mit heftigen Schicksalsschlägen um? Welche Erfahrungen helfen der jüngeren Generation?

Ich, Sabrina Andorfer, suche in meinem Podcast "Die Dritten – Damit nichts verloren geht!" Antworten im Gespräch mit über 70-Jährigen.

Dabei weiß ich im Vorfeld so wenig wie möglich über meine Gesprächspartner:innen, um mich selbst und euch von deren Lebensgeschichte überraschen zu lassen.

Ein Podcast, der außergewöhnliche Lebensgeschichten für die Zukunft bewahrt, damit davon nichts verloren geht!

Viele von euch schreiben mir, dass durch meinen Podcast die Erlebnisse ihrer eigenen Großeltern oder Eltern wieder zum Leben erweckt werden oder aber einige sich nun besser vorstellen können, wie das vielleicht für Verwandte früher war.

Schreibt mir jederzeit bei Instagram oder per E-Mail - auch wenn ihr eine Person kennt, die in mein ü70-Beuteschema passt :-)

Liebste Grüße,

Sabrina

Most people who know James K Jones today are surprised to discover that he spent a significant part of his life in prison. Despite being released for more than two decades, based on his numerous charges (including a federal offense), he should still be incarcerated. However, James has since moved on to marry and raise three wonderful children while also owning a business. This is the narrative of how he ended up in prison, his experiences inside: the people, the challenges, the dishonesty, and the deep self-realizations he encountered. Ultimately, James believes that his time behind bars actually saved his life. This is James recounting his journey, now intertwined with his wife Haley's story. Together, they share the tale - including all the twists and raw details - that eventually led to genuine liberation.
