Apple Podcasts5Katie Preston 😊Australia3 months ago - Refreshing Yowie Ripper
Cliffhanger is a brilliant new addition to the Yowie and cryptid scene in Australia. The name alone hooks you in, but it’s the laidback storytelling that keeps you listening.
The way the show weaves Australian bushland, remote tracks, and eerie encounters gives it a strong sense of place that feels authentic rather than overdone.
Listening from the UK, it’s refreshing to hear Ben’s larrikin Aussie perspective on the unexplained. - Ben Dicko

I came across show this while searching for more Yowie podcasts and was so impressed with the level of research. I learned facts I’d never heard before! Been listening since.
I've been saying for a long time that there’s a gap for an Australian ghost story podcast, and I love everything this show is covering. The guests, the energy, and the depth of storytelling are spot on. Ben's own stories and experiences show how spiritually connected you and your family are to other dimensions. So many of... more

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast
What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?
This show centers on raw, first-hand paranormal and cryptid encounters across Australia, with a focus on Yowies, UFOs, hauntings, and Indigenous lore. Episodes spotlight real people sharing vivid experiences—from bushland sightings and shape-shifters to telepathy and ancestral guardians—often featuring interviews with everyday Aussies and Indigenous Elders.
