The name's Tales, Cheeky Tales. This week on the podcast John takes us through the last of his three part miniseries, Ian Fleming, better know as the author of the James Bond novels. Listen as Fleming gets the inspiration for Bond and goes through the process of developing the manuscripts. Listen to his life story, before listening to the story of the man he created.

We've done it. 100 episodes of us talking mostly nonsense with poorly written and researched scripts. This week the three of us go through the history of our show, reminiscing and updating any new information that has come through. Take a stroll down memory lane together with us.

Thank you from the bottom of our heart for all the support. We love making this podcast and hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoy making it.

We're back on the high seas this week, although this time it's a lot colder than most stories we've told. We return to the Antarctic with Aaron running John and Sean through the tale of Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance, a story of survival with few rivals. Listen along as we learn the history of this voyage, and the hardships the men on it had to endure. Find the video version on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@CheekyTalesPod

We go back to two of our favourite topics (as we do every 2-4 episodes) and hit boats and WWII, this time as part of John's 3 part connected series. Listen as John takes Aaron through the of Operation Postmaster, a daring and risky raid that many in the British Armed Forces thought could trigger Spain joining the Nazi's in WWII. How did this raid lead to a hollywood movie? Find out on this week's Cheeky Tales. Find the video version on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@CheekyTalesPod

Darwin was a vibrant and fun city in the 1970's. At least until Cyclone Tracy blew in on Christmas morning of 1974, carving a path of destruction unlike many we've seen in this country. This week, in an episode written while under the looming spectre of Cyclone Alfred in Brisbane a couple weeks ago, Aaron takes John and Sean through the tale of Australia's most notorious cyclone.

We're hitting two favourites in one again with World Wars and boats that go under the sea. This week John takes us through the history of the humble Submarine, one of the coolest inventions in human history. From 'person breathing through long stick' to the modern day Nuclear Subs, learn along with the boys as they get surprisingly close to German translations.

It's not a phase! Edgar Allan Poe is a gothic icon, and we're sure you've heard of his work. If not, maybe crack open a book sometime! Or just listen to this episode, which requires no reading whatsoever, and hear the soothing voice of Aaron guiding John and Sean through the life and death of Edgar Allan Poe. It's basically ASMR, really.
