About Back of Bourke

Siblings Michael and Alice investigate a mystery: a vintage Australian television show called Back of Bourke that many remember, but no one can prove existed. With only a VHS tape containing the show's opening sequence and fragmented childhood memories, they dive into online forums, cryptic web archives, and testimonies from amnesiac fans. Join as they search for evidence of their great aunt's involvement with the show, uncover threatening emails, and a spooky conspiracy that seems to reach from the outback town of Bourke. https://www.3pwidget.com/backofbourke bob@3pwidget.com

'Back of Bourke’ is a podcast dedicated to unravelling the mysterious 1960s Australian television program Back of Bourke. The show has no remaining footage and limited information about any of the episodes, only confusing and at times outright contradictory information regarding the writers, directors, and overall narrative.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
