Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Australian Gold Bust & The Golden Age of Hijackijng
Q: What were the demands of the hijackers during the golden age of hijacking?
Most hijackers simply wanted to travel to Cuba, as the country wouldn't extradite to the US during the Cold War.
The Australian Gold Bust & The Golden Age of Hijackijng
Q: What led to the shift in the gold mining industry in New South Wales?
The combination of a labor shortage and a new governor willing to promote gold discovery led to significant changes in the industry.
The Royal Farter & The Holy Roman Burping Baby
Q: What do you think about the stories?
Both stories are strange and believable, but I feel Roland the Farter is indeed a true historical figure.
