Moonshot, Keli Lane: Problem Child, and Sonic Boom

12/22/19 • 31 min

Each of the hosts has brought a very "them" podcast this week: Zane with science, Liz with true crime and Nick with sports. (Liz is already going 'Ew,, sports'). Respectively they're recommending Moonshot, Keli Lane: Problem Child and Sonic Boom. Then it's review time and they gang have a few things to say. Especially about Containers.

Liz Recommends - Keli Lane: Problem Child

http://www.problemchildpodcast.com/

Liz thought she knew all about this case as she followed it quite closely on the news. She was wrong. This particular investigative podcast has never before seen or heard information that makes the case all the more confusing.

This podcast is Brisbane-based and hosted by an amateur investigator obsessed with deep driving into true crime, is a mum, and has undertaken studies in Criminology and Law. They plan to tackle more Australian cases in the future.

"In our multi-episode investigative podcast series, we will explore the case of Keli Lane – the Australian woman convicted of murdering her newborn infant, Tegan. We will explore why Keli concealed three pregnancies from everyone around her, and we will thoroughly examine the trial process, court documents, and delve deeply into the background of Keli Lane.

"We will explore Keli’s current situation in Silverwater Women's Correctional Facility in NSW, Australia, and document her attempts to free herself from prison along with help from the RMIT innocence initiative and ABC exposed – who are advocating on Keli’s behalf for a Judicial Review.

For both: Start at the start and listen to as many as you feel compelled to.

David Tennant Does A Podcast With, Smart Enough to Know Better, Containers

New Patrick/Nick is well and truly finding his feet as a Castologist but what will the group think of his latest recommendation... Containers? About shipping containers. Yep. Meanwhile Liz get her science and comedy on with Smart Enough To Know Better, and Zane recommends a rare celebrity interviews podcast David Tennant Does a Podcast With. Then it's on to the reviews from last week!

Liz Recommends - Smart Enough To Know Better

https://smartenough.org/

Dan and Greg had a passion for science and for arguing about it at length and in public. When it was pointed out how entertaining they were they put together the podcast and started to agree more often. Since then they've named the Earth's sun, travelled back in time to help win the war and dissected a gremlin all while following the scientific method.

Science is fun, and when Greg and Dan step in, learning about it is too.

Greg's worked for CSIRO and is currently a science communicator for ICRAR.

Dan is a web developer, performer and MC.

They have 40 years of experience between them on the stages of Brisbane and are 2 thirds of the team that put together the best selling plays .'Speed the Movie the Play', 'titanic the movie the play', and the 'Die Hard the Movie the Play'.

For both: You're gonna ignore me anyway, so pick something you wanna know more about.

Ladies We Need To Talk, The Wonderland Murders and 1619

Liz takes a gamble this week, recommending a podcast that the lads are very much not the target for: Ladies, We Need To Talk.

Nick Recommends - 1619

In August of 1619, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia. America was not yet America, but this was the moment it began. No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed. On the 400th anniversary of this fateful moment, it is time to tell the story.

“1619” is a New York Times audio series hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones.

For either: From the start. Or episode 3.
