In what world does this story have a kidnapping?!? - The History of ALDI

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.

Pictured are the two ALDI brands and their split in Germany, the two Albrecht brothers, the first ALDI store in Essen, and this weeks special buys.

Yet More Reasons Aaron Doesn't Like Camping - The Donner Party

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.

Pictured are the Reeds, an image of life on the Oregon Trail, the route that the Donner Party took, and the height of the trees chopped by the Donner Party showing the depth of the snow.

We Hit Our Two Favourite Topics - WWII And Boat Medley

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.

Pictured is the adorable unsinkable Sam from the bonus tale, the HMHS Britannic before the sinking, an image of some crocodiles and jungle (as promised, and not from Ramree Island), and the USS Indianapolis.

An Accident So Big It Got Motorsport Banned - The 1955 Le Mans Disaster

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.

Pictured is the scene moments after the crash, part of the track map showing the main corners we discussed, the moment of impact that caused the disaster, and the main straight at the start of the race, showing just how close the pits, main straight, and spectators were.

Cheeky Chats - For When You're Missing a Boi and a Script

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.

Pictured is some of our photography efforts from the Winternationals that we discussed. The first two were taken by Sean, the second two by Aaron.

Unsolicited Bridge Pics - The Construction of the Brooklyn Bridge

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.

Pictured is the Brooklyn Bridge as it appears today, the Caissons with bricks on top, the cables being installed, and the saviour of the project Emily Warren Roebling.

The Indiana Ogress - A Very Mean Nickname For A Very Mean Person - Belle Gunness

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 Aaron.

Pictured is a young Belle Gunness, Belle Gunness with her children, the Gunness Farm where the sacks were found, and a comparison between Esther Carlson (Left) and Belle Gunness (Right).

Two Sides of the Same Coin - Isaac Newton's Nemesis

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.

Pictured is a portrait on Isaac Newton, a portrait on William Chaloner, an example of a 1600's English coin, and the Tower of London, the location of the Mint in the 1600's.

Hey, you up? Send Nukes - Scary Tales of Missing Nukes

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.

Pictured are, of course, a mushroom cloud (because how could we not?), the bomb stuck in a tree, the patch of field with a bomb lost in it, and a map of incident locations in the continental US.

Arr, me hearties! - 3 Female Pirates Who Bucked the Trend

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.

Pictured are artists renditions of our three pirates, Gracey O'Malley, Anne Bonny, and Jeanne De Clisson, as well as an artists rendition of Jeanne's ship, 'My Revenge'.

Bushrangers don't always have to wear a helmet (Or shoot people) - Ben Hall

It's definitely not a competition, but this week we cover another flavour of Aussie Bushranger. John takes Aaron and Sean through the story of Ben Hall, the prankster king, the Robin Hood, the unsung hero of Australian Bushrangers. Have a listen and learn the story of a different kind of outlaw.

Pictured is Ben himself, a map of key locations in his story, a painting depicting his last moments, and his beautiful gravesite.

The Little Can That Took On The Giant Bottle - The Story of Dr Pepper

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. Join us this week as Sean takes Aaron and John through the tale of the little soda that could, from humble beginnings in Waco, Texas, to the big city dreams of Leichardt, in Queensland, Australia. It's got everything from court room drama to international intrigue (just what IS a pepper drink?). So listen up, crack open a can of Dr Pepper, and learn a little something.

Pictured is a sketch of Charles Alderton (credit to Travis Simpkins) next to the Dr Pepper Logo, various varieties of Dr Pepper cans, the old Dr Pepper logo with the long gone period, and a commemorative Dr Pepper fob from the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition.

That Time Rugby League Got Political - Super League

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? All these questions and more will be answered if you give it a watch! This week with good audio!

Pictured is the Super League logo (that John didn't get right at all), the 10 teams and Australian Super League Jersey's, the Super League Grand Final winning Broncos, and the stunning Gold Coast Chargers jersey that Aaron wants to buy.

Our Partners Got Very Little Say In Appearing - The History of Valentine's Day

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!

Pictured is a painting of St Valentine, an artists impression of Cupid, and the flower crowned skull relic of St Valentine.

A Plane And Crew That Wouldn't Go Down - The Ye Olde Pub Incident

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. Join us this week as John takes Aaron and producer Sean through the tale of the Ye Olde Pub Incident.

Pictured is a B17 when it's not critically damaged, the critically damaged tail of Ye Olde Pub, pilot of Ye Olde Pub Charlie Brown, and the German pilot Franz Stigler.

How Many Different Ways Can a Law Fail? - Prohibition in the USA

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.

Pictured are prohibition agents pouring our illegal booze, sweat old Carrie Nation the smasher, a homemade still used to make illicit alcohol, and a prohibition era speakeasy.

Pictured are the crew of Apollo 13 after landing, during their untelevised televised cross, the damage to the Service Module, and Aaron's most prized possession, his piece of Apollo 11.

A Con-Man That Sold A Fake Country - Gregor MacGregor (The BEST Con-Man)

Hopefully this is a better intro than the one Aaron managed to do in this episode. Gregor MacGregor is the second in our accidental series of con-men, and this time it's a man that had some genuine usefulness about him. That is, until he threw it all away for sun and booze. Listen this week as Aaron takes John and producer Sean through this tale of the true greatest con-man! (Suck it, John!)

Pictured is MacGregor himself, a painting depicting the fake Poyais, the Poyais Coat of Arms, and an image showing where Poyais was said to be.

Well I'm almost sure it didn't come with the same amount of pressure that Moss Hills had to deal with on the Oceanos. Listen this week as Aaron takes John and a reluctant producer Sean through another tales of high seas misadventure.

Pictured is the Oceanos in it's pre-sinking glory, Moss and Tracey Hills, and two images of the Oceanos in it's mid-sinking dispair.

It's a persisting mystery to this day. Who took control of the airways in Chicago in 1987? What did they want? And why were they so damn creepy? Join Aaron as he takes John and producer Sean through the signal jacking with the face of a cult tv hero.

How can a hijacker just go missing? - The Mystery of D.B. Cooper

We're back from our fortnight off! The late 60's and early 70's are famous for many things, some good, some bad. This week, we cover one of the most interesting events of the early 70's - the unsolved highjacking of Northwest Orient Airlines Flight 305 by a very suave gentlemen by the name of Dan Cooper. John takes us through the details of this enduring mystery.

Pictured are the sketches of D.B. Cooper, some of the money in the condition it was found in, the plane involved in the hijacking, and Tom Hiddleston playing Loki imitating D.B. Cooper.

Pompeii’s Really Bad Day

Volcano's and Pompeii go together like cookies and cream. If you think of one, you think of the other. How much do you actually know about what happened on that day though? Probably not as much as we do now, so listen along so you too can learn all about Roman graffiti, volcanic rain, and just how quickly a volcano can kill you.

Pictured are some of the ghostly casts of the dead, Mt Vesuvius looming over the modern day city below, a body that fell at the bottom of some stairs, and some of the graffiti on the walls.
