What's this? A mysterious new voice on the podcast? Yes, this is our first ever guest episode of the podcast! This week Fiona Milway will tell us all about Australia's failed attempt to fight a war against Emus. Yes, Emu

Detective fiction would be very different if more people came back from the dead to testify in the case of their own murder. Unfortunately we can't always rely on the supernatural to put away murderers, but that is what
