The Kiwi who found Noah’s Ark
Aug 8, 202400:14:34Tap to summarizeBorn in England in 1911 Hardwicke Knight lived in Dunedin from 1957 – 2008. Amongst his vast travels he told the story of having been the official photographer on a Soviet Russian Expedition up Mount Ararat in 1936. On that expedition he claimed not only had they found Noah’s Ark. He had souvenired a piece of its timber! And in 1967 he would join an expedition by Americans Tim LaHaye and John Morris to re-locate the site.Thanks to those that support my retirement hobby podcast.Press that Support With $ Button periodically. huntfornoahsark #noahsark #harwickeknight #kiwipodcast Support the show

Kiwi Pub Promo Goes Badly Wrong!
Jul 12, 202400:09:43Tap to summarizeThis is the true disturbing - yet bloody funny - story from 1999. In which a Kiwi stapled his penis onto a wooden crucifix in a Christchurch Pub Promo. Thomas Henry’s winning performance in Trader McKendrys Pub Promo dubbed ‘How Far Would You Go?’ Was extreme and at the same time highly amusing. So extreme & legendary. Hendry was later given a Darwin Award without having to die in the process. #darwinaward #pubcontestgonewrong #stupiddrunkpeople Links to: ‘The Mad World of Felix Tanner’https://youtu.be/RZ2BiRG0_I0 ‘The Last Flight of Captain Lorraine’ https://youtu.be/AUDAsq3QQkE Support the show

Necrophiliac Stage Act Shocks New Zealand
Jul 12, 202400:18:16Tap to summarizeJoin me as I recount the seedy world of New Zealand Strip Clubs in the late 1970’s. Specifically those owned by Rainton Hastie. The godfather of Striptease in N.Z. His flagship Pink Pussycat Clubs operated in both Auckland & Christchurch at one point. The N.Z Polices laughable attempts to close his shows down. The resulting court cases bringing similar amusement. Link to Hitlers Coffin in N.Z Museum 11 min Video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0ZOJOKQ1mwPS...I had Covid when recording this. My already much complained about crappy voice was even more crappier than usual. #christchurchnz Support the show

Debunking The Shadowy Atlas Network Conspiracy
Jun 25, 202400:26:34Tap to summarizeHate to be the classmate that breaks the news “Santa Claus isn’t real”. The belief the U.S based libertarian ‘think-tank’ Atlas Network is involved with a whole range of global mischief. On behalf of their corporate masters. Is little more than a poorly scripted left-wing conspiracy. As you are about to find-out conclusively in this podcast.Next: Take the Test!

Sinking of the 'Nino Bixio' 1942 * Forgotten Friendly Fire Tragedy
Jun 17, 202400:19:51Tap to summarizeKiwi perspective to a now forgotten friendly fire incident in WW2. Sinking of the Italian vessel ‘Nino Bixio’ in the Mediterranean August 1942, by British submarine ‘Turbulent’. The ‘Nino Bixio’ and her sister ship Sestriere were packed with over 6,000 Allied prisoners of war from the North African Campaign. The attack by the Turbulent upon the Nino Bixio resulted in the deaths of 336 Allied prisoners. New Zealand (2nd Division) death toll being 117. Were those deaths preventable? Is it possible to proportion blame? Let’s look at this from all angles. Footnote: If you had a relative on board either the ‘Nino Bixio’ or ‘Sestriere’ on this ill-fated journey. We’d love to hear from you in the YT comments section. This after-all was a misadventure that affected Australians, British, Free French South Africans and Indians troops. Trapped below. Or who took their chances in the waters. Weren’t rescued in time. Keeping my amateur podcast going is dependent on listeners. Please consider spending another 10 minutes on another similar event from World War One. The sinking of the Marquette. https://youtu.be/s0svttH0Yao Note: Thanks to RNZ for preserving and sharing the audio clip used. Support the show

The well-travelled Terry was a complicated eccentric character. That had his supporters. An avid socialist. Supporter of Maori having their own homelands. As well as a rabid racist and anti-Semite. This podcast covers a lot of new ground about Lionel Terry. Plus: the intriguing death of his sister Ellen Webster at the Avondale Lunatic Asylum 1910. Promo link to last podcast.
