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.
