In part two we get to what actually happened the day our Prime Minister disappeared - who was he with? What he was doing? Why did he go swimming? What did the search party cover? We then look at all the different conspiracy theories surrounding his death. Was he a spy? Did he fake his death? Was he kidnapped? We look into why all these theories have had such staying power over the year. Finally, his legacy and the fact that he perhaps should be remembered for much more than just his disappearance.

The story of Harold Holt is one of the weirdest pieces of Australian history. He was Prime Minister of Australia at the time he went missing in the ocean, creating a crisis in Australian politics. To talk about this weird history are the team from Weird Crap in Australia Podcast, Holly and Matthew Soal. We talk about the history of Harold Holt, and how through rhyming slang, he has become enshrined in Australian English. We talk more broadly about rhyming slang in Australia and how we use it. We also talk about how Australian culture has enabled us to dedicate an aquatic centre to a politician who drowned. We also talk about how learning language through history is a very productive strategy for language learners.

ACCIDENT OR CONSPIRACY? Princess Diana & Natalie Wood Everyone loves a conspiracy theory and this week we look at the mysterious deaths of two women in their prime… But for the first course, Geordie & Michelle give a couple of shout outs before outing Geordie's childhood bully, Mr Chandler. Michelle's sister Steph gets a long-overdue thank you before a few telly recs get thrown around, as does a riveting snippet about Stephen Fry and a potted rundown of the disappearance of 1960s Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt. That's all before the punchy main course – the DEATH OF PRINCESS DIANA… Michelle starts off with a rundown of her sad, loveless life before asking the crucial question we all want to know… Was her death an unfortunate accident or was she the end point of a deathly conspiracy by the Royal Family? Was Diana pregnant with Dodi's baby? Was her car tampered with before the accident? Why did she suspect she might die in a car accident? Was the death of her ex bodyguard a warm up to the main event? What did she actually die of? Why didn't the paparazzi help her when she crashed? And what was the one thing that might have saved her from dying? YOU'LL HAVE TO GET EAVESDROPPIN' TO FIND OUT! Having mentioned Natalie Wood on last week's episode about Ghostie Whosties, Geordie then goes on to talk about the Hollywood actress's tragic death by drowning… Just like Princess Diana, Natalie Wood had a bit of a sh*t life… Why did she marry Robert Wagner twice? How come Christopher Walken was on the boat when she died? What's the deal with the dinghy? Why was her death initially recorded as accidental drowning? Why has it since been changed? Can the ship's captain be believed? Why did Robert Wagner not want to search for his missing wife? And did he kill her? LISTEN NOW TO FIND OUT MORE!! Don't miss a minute!
