Mums Mysteries & Murder
We're two Mums living in Edinburgh who are obsessed with true crime and mysterious happenings, so obsessed we decided to start a podcast! Each month we take turns to tell stories from our homelands - Effie Scottish born and bred where haggis is NOT actually an animal and Marti from the land down under where no prawns have ever been thrown on a barbie, it needs to be said! So, if you want polished, professional true crime then this is not for you, maybe try Casefile. But if you love true crime and mystery like us & you can't stop talking about it, give us a listen! Its not big or clever but it is entertaining.
Mums Mysteries & Murder
The Christmas Episode - Cyclone Tracy
Merry Christmas !!
We're dropping you a bonus episode as a little Christmas present from us to you!
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!!!
