  • Episode 78: The Great Emu War
    Dec 30 2024

    Welcome back during this holiday season for a very special emu-sode! Brooke confronts her fear of birds to tell us about the Australian war against the Emu population. In the 1930s Australia sanctioned a planned attack against the wild Emu population that were ruining crops. While the Emus weren’t necessarily mounting their own military attack, they may have been the winners!

    We have a spooky painting for you all! Brooke dives deep into the eerie stories that surround the painting "The Hands Resist Him" by William (Bill) Stoneham. The artist, Bill, was inspired by a poem that his wife, Patti M. Stoneham, wrote by the title "Hands Resist Him."
