We were recently asked to be guests on one of our favourite podcasts with one of our favourite podcasters - Dawn from the Scottish Murders podcast ( go check it out and give it a binge listen if you don't know it!)

Where Effie tells the horrifying story of Jason Downie who in November 2010 brutally murdered his 16 year old girlfriend Chantelle Rowe and both of her parents in a horrific killing spree. 

There are a lot of Scottish accents in this episode, so you're in for a treat!

And, as Effie requested it's slightly more lighthearted but sadly people do still die.

We're talking about Cyclone Tracy 
It struck Australia on Christmas Day in 1974 killing 71 people.
Cyclone Tracy has been described as the most significant tropical cyclone in Australia's history and it changed how we viewed the threat of tropical cyclones to northern Australia.

We also talk about Christmas in Australia
Christmas films and the real-life Polar Express
Our favourite things about Christmas
And Effie's visions!!!
