About this listen

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.

  • The Murder of Scott Johnston
    Jul 23 2025

    Trigger warning: In this episode, we talk a lot about suicide. Please skip this episode if you're not in the right place to listen. Discussions of homophobia in Australia in the 80s is also heavily featured, so please take note.

    We are covering the murder of Scott Johnston - Born in California on the 27th of November 1961 - he had such a promising future ahead of him, until he moved to Australia in the 80s.

    We also talk about what we're watching to lighten the mood,

    Australia in the 80s and how it wasn't all just awful fashion and big hair and Kris Jenners new "look" Some might say we talk about that for way too long!

    The fantastic Rusell T Davies show we mention is called - Its A Sin

    Sources for this episode -

    Never Let Him Go Documentary on Disney + if you're in the UK - highly recommended, its much more in depth if you'd like to learn more about Scott's life.
