Michael: Apocryphal Australia is all about bringing to light stories from Australia’s past, stories that have been overlooked, hidden, or simply forgotten.
Stephen: That’s right. We’ve been hard at it, hitting the books, interviewing eye witnesses, tracking down some of the most outrageous and extraordinary stories you’re every likely to hear.
Michael: That’s us, Stephen, hitters, interviewers and trackers, but that’s not all. We’re also waders through the swamps of the past, divers into the depths of history and steely-jawed seekers of the truth.
Stephen: I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
Michael: But that’s not stopping us.
Stephen: Of course not. Because after we nail down these amazing stories, we bring all the details together and present our findings to the world. That’s our podcast.
