A Study of Strange
A Study of StrangeCarl Großmann: The Butcherin' Berlin BeggarA re-release of a classic episode. In 1921 police caught Carl Großmann in a frightening, murderous act that caused the papers to label him the "Berlin Butcher".  Großmann is a notorious serial killer but his claim to fame today (selling sausages made of human meat) may be entirely made up. This episode is released in memory of our special guest, Sarah Lovett, co-host of "True Crime ABCs" who recently passed away.

Brain on NatureRegenerating the Cooks River with the MudcrabsEvery weekend, and some weekdays too, you'll find Mudcrabs along the banks of the Cooks River. Not crustaceans, although they're slowly returning as their habitat is restored, but a group of dedicated volunteers who are rehabilitating what was once the most polluted river in Australia. With prosthetic pincers, they pick up rubbish from in and around the river. They plant trees and shrubs to revegetate bushland that's been lost, and weed and protect the new bush. This episode documents how the Mudcrabs have rehabilitated the Cooks River, and how the benefits flow two ways. For many Mudcrabs, their work c...

My brain injury rehab specialist says we won’t know until we try. He means I won’t actually recover properly until I go back to work. The neurons that fire together, wire together – he keeps saying.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Brain on NatureThere's Science to ThisI’m depressed and anxious and the headaches are back. I have to dose myself up on nature again. I wouldn’t have considered heading into the bush alone before the accident. But now I’m known for turning up to school pick-ups in shorts and hiking boots. But why has no doctor told me to use nature? Or even encouraged me really?Production creditsWriter and producer: Sarah AllelyCo-Producer: Olivia RosenmanSound design: Ariana Martinez  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
