    516 - Spring-Heeled Jack

    In 19th Century London, a bizarre figure terrorised the streets, lashing out with metal claws and blowing fire in people's faces before leaping over tall fences. Described variously as a bull, a bear, a ghost or even a devil-like creature, the phantom's rampage went for more than six decades! But who was he???

    EXTRA - Great Pranks from History

    This month's episode from the vault goes all the way back to 2019! It's a full length pod recorded live at The Melbourne Comedy Festival on the 13th of April. We each did a mini report on the theme of... PRANKS! It was good fun listening back, especially to the start because I was late to the show. I really was haha. If you want to know what the pranks were: Superstar USA (the American Idol Parody Show), The Washington Monument Damp Spot Hoax and Balloon Boy. All wild rides. Thanks for your ongoing support. You're the best people we know! Dave
