It's amazing to hear so many stories of Australian history that you would never have known.
Peter Cowan

A highly entertaining and brilliantly researched podcast. Michael not only shows his passion for his subjects but conveys that passion effectively to the listener.

Description
True crimes, dark histories, unsolved mysteries, eccentric personalities and strange happenings: Forgotten Australia is history as you've never heard it before. Each episode brings to life people and events that were once known to everyone but are now barely remembered by anyone. Based on intensive original research, Forgotten Australia is crafted with a novelist’s eye for character and detail to create gripping narratives that sound so fresh it's like they're ripped from today's headlines.
You can get early ad-free access and bonus Forgotten Australia episodes by subscribing at Apple or supporting at Patreon.
My new book, Hanging Ned Kelly, about Melbourne's 19th century executioners, is out now.
You can read an excerpt here for free.
