Imagine you duck out on a camping trip to go grab something from the car, and when you come back everyone is gone. Now imagine that trip to grab something took 3 years, and the people you were camping with included your whole family. And you have no clues to where they went except for a single word carved into a tree. Welcome to the confusing mystery of the Roanoke Colony. Aaron takes John and Producer Sean through the mysterious t...

Sometimes I have to work really hard to write the titles - not this time. John takes Aaron and Producer Sean through the grisly history of the Guillotine. You certainly don't want to be from the French high society this week.

Everyone loves a bargain, and Aldi is about as bargain as it comes. From pantry staples to robot vacuums and snow gear, ALDI has it all. It even has a pretty interesting back story, believe it or not. This week John takes us through the history of the world's most confusing chain of Supermarkets.

Sometimes long road trips are fun. Sometimes you end up eating your friends. This week it's the latter, as Aaron takes John and Producer Sean through the thoroughly icky tale of the journey of The Donner Party.

Geez it's been a while since we talked about WWII (it hasn't) and Boats (it also hasn't). So this week Aaron thought it would be a great opportunity to break out both in a medley episode. Too bad Sean wasn't here to bring up yachts the whole time. John will just have to make wild claims about cats to make up for it.

We're baaaaaaaack. And John's got a story of a motor race that went horribly, horribly wrong. It's one of the world's most famous races, the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 1955 though, it was known for all the wrong reasons, and caused the banning of motorsports in some countries to this day. Listen as John takes Aaron through the tale of that tragic day.

This week it's a no scripter! John is away and so Aaron and Sean couldn't bear the thought of telling a tale. Aaron and Sean chat for a solid hour on topics they see fit, like 'How do you transition to a new career?' and 'Why Film Photography is Back!' and 'Drag Racing - Don't You Dare Say It's Bogan Ya DOG!'. 

This will be a once off - we'll be back to regularly scheduled tales next week.

New York, New York, it's a hell of a town! Where the Bridge is up and hopefully not down! This week on Cheeky Tales we're learning about the surprisingly interesting story of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge. It had drama, death, illness, perseverance, fraud, fright, and everything in between. Take a listen to find out how exciting a bridge can really be.

Belle Gunness was a loving mother who was unlucky in love. And business ownership. And home ownership. And in being a mother. And in keeping her partners alive. And apparently lived on a farm full of dead bodies in sacks. Totally inappropriate that John would write an entire script explaining how she was a serial killer. Like there was barely any evidence. Listen this week as John purposefully defames a perfectly decent butcher to ...

Sometimes your mortal enemy is a guy that cuts the line at the supermarket. Sometimes it's that kid in school who got the new Xbox when you had the old Playstation. And sometimes you're the smartest man in the world and your nemesis is some guy that forges coins. This week Aaron takes us through the story of Isaac Newton and his nemesis, William Chaloner.

There's just a few things you should always know the location of. Your children. Your passport. Your pets. And your arsenal of world destroying nuclear weapons. But geez, sometimes they just go missing. This week on Cheeky Tales John takes us through the story of a few times the yanks went looking under the couch cushions for the most destructive weapons in history.

Whenever you think of pirate, you probably think of a whole lot of stereotypes. Long, dirty hair. An eye patch. A big tri-point hat, maybe even with a skull and crossbones. Maybe even some really fetching frilly sleeves. A peg leg. A parrot on the shoulder. But I'll bet there is one thing you didn't picture - a woman pirate. This week Aaron will take us through the tale of 3 pioneering, buccaneering, pilfering women.

Some people love Coca-Cola, some love Pepsi. And then there is that one guy who's like, "um, actually Dr Pepper is the best soft drink." This story is for that guy, who in this case, is Sean.

Run, Kick, Tackle, Chip, Chase, Grubber, Try, Court Case? This week Sean gets us ready for the new NRL season by taking Aaron and John through the tale of Super League. How did the Australian Rugby League community get so fractured it split off into two rival leagues? Why is it always Newscorp? What does a random train have to do with it?

We've talked about them so often we figured it was about time we introduced them! This week Aaron and John introduce their partners, Bree and Kirsty, to the podcast as Aaron weaves the tale of how Valentine's got it's name and why it's even about love. Oh, and just what the heck is Cupid?

Sorry about the slightly dodgy audio!

WW2 had a lot of stories of survival, but none are quite like this. A plane that refused to die, a crew that refused to give up, and a moment of compassion from a foreign fighter pilot.

It's hard to imagine the beer and whiskey loving USA giving it up, but that's exactly what they did in the early 1900's. Listen this week as Aaron takes John and Producer Sean through the sordid tale of dry mouths, rum running, organised crime, and good old fashioned hypocrisy.
