Absolutely fantastic podcast, riveting and fascinating piece of Ballarat history. Never heard of Ghost Hoaxing in Australia before this, and never knew how much socio-political motivation was behind it; would love to find out more! Thank you for presenting this topic.
No worries Ash! We love doing it haha. I was blown away by the sociopolitical undertones too, it made some of the sociopolitical quasi-religious ’60s groups I’ve read about seem part of a more common pattern than I’d realised.
