Exclusive to Forgotten Australia listeners, this episode comprises the first 20 pages of The Murder Squad, my new book about homicide investigation in Sydney and NSW during the worst years of the Great Depression. We start with Detective-Sergeant Tom McRae in Albury in September 1934 as he investigates the Pyjama Girl, before flashing back to the triple tragedies he endured in his early life and as he started his rise through the ranks.Check out The Murder Squad's awesome cover:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781922863836.htmlHere's what some very nice folks have been saying about The Murder Squad:‘The Murder Squad is a cracking decade-long history of crazed killers and cunning cops – a triumph of true crime storytelling backed by exhaustive research.' – Stephen Gibbs, Daily Mail‘Michael Adams has that rare ability to drop the reader right in the heart of the action. He gives such precise and evocative detail that the reader can almost see, hear and smell each crime scene. Murder Squad is a riveting read, bringing Australia's Great Depression era to life through a series of cracking true crime stories starring the ingenious Sydney detective Tom McRae.' – Jen Kelly, Herald Sun, In Black & White column and podcast‘Michael Adams takes you on a tense journey into Sydney's historical badlands. Compelling, rich and meticulous: this is Australian true crime at its very best.' – Candice Fox, author of Fire With Fire, The Chase and Crimson Lake‘Michael Adams is a master true crime storyteller. His mastery is firstly, in digging out intriguing historical crimes – many of which have long been forgotten – and secondly, in recounting them in the most compelling way. The Human Glove Mystery, The Pyjama Girl and The Park Demon all get the Michael Adams treatment, but so too the stories that didn't attract the sensational headlines, but are no less intriguing. And all of it against a backdrop of historic Australia and the men of the Murder Squad who hunted out the killers and tried to bring them to justice. So thoroughly researched, this is the ultimate reference for true crime in Australia during the depression years.' – Mercedes Maguire, The Daily Telegraph Hosted on Acast.

The 1970s … a boom time for smoooth music but dark times for The Beatles, torn apart and born again in their separate musical identities, each feeling their way to rediscover who they were before The Beatles, who they are now, and who they could become (before their soft new shells harden). All four would flirt with becoming Christmas Beatles, but only John Lennon and Paul McCartney would achieve immortality on Smooth Radio at Christmastime. Who is the “immortal snail” and will John and Paul have to face it before the Earth is destroyed? Deploying their weapons of passive-aggressive song writing from both ends of a troubled decade, John and Paul are locked in a very slow battle for Christmas Beatle supremacy. Paul harnesses the ear-piercing power of his new Commodore VIC20 home computer. John name-drops his family struggles, leaves one child and embarks on a life-long odyssey to find the another, but finds time to send us all on a guilt trip. A further two dark souls would also be born in this decade, their ultimate destiny would be to analyse, interpret, critique, speculate wildly, and sit in judgement of much greater people that came before them. This time with two songs and two artists to consider - can they upset two sets of fans at once? Challenge accepted. Is there really a debate as to which song is better? Is John idealistic, unrealistic or both? When was Paul cool, exactly? Is there a race of cowards? War is over if you want it (or fear it?) (or is it?). Also discussed: The Pogues, Maroon 5, Tom Mcrae, Eminem versus Moby, Madonna versus Aled Jones, Jay Z versus Burt Bacharach, Don't Look Now, In Bruges, and protesting in a bag. We also have brand new (and terrible) Christmas bob-bon puns to moan over. Learn the famous painters of history at the same time. What is Boxing Day anyway? Is it true that John and Paul had a physical fight? We have the exclusive audio of it going down. Simply wonderful regular segments: Misheard Lyrics, Internet Theories, and more.

The Spacecast is yet another podcast dreamed up in the pub, this time between myself and Dylan, the official Song, by Toad photographer. And again it's one of those podcast which could have gone on for over two hours quite easily, but we don't do that anymore, not around here, we're disciplined these days goddammit. So I've missed off about a million other suggestions and come up with a combination of songs genuinely about space, and few that use space as some sort of metaphor and then a few which just stick a few spacey words in the title. And of course, it starts with something rather splendid... but you'll have to listen to find out what it is. Alright, it's not that special. Just mildly amusing. Toadcast #54 - The Spacecast 01.

A system recovery (F10) was performed. Everything is fine, now.00:42:25 - Due to the computer virus, John had to read stuff (!).
