This week Rob and Tom have a look into the mad world of Sir Jimmy Savile OBE. This loved household celebrity adored by millions was in reality a horrific monster hiding in plain sight. A friend to political leaders and Royal Family members, he abused thousands of children over many decades, some live on TV. He indulged in necrophilia and removed fake eyes from dead bodies then had them mounted on rings. The police were well aware but were told to stand down.

Anthony Hardy, otherwise known as the Camden Ripper was an evil manipulative rapist, sadist serial killer and necrophile who killed at least 3 prostitutes between 2000 and 2002.

This one's grim.   FB/IG @robotsforeyespodcast podbelly.com retrovague.com suikerapparel.com robotsforeyespodcast.com

  We have history to thank for many things, but also for a lot of misinformation that lasted in some cases for centauries! There is a long list of diseases that we woefully misunderstood up until quite recently. Today we chat through some of histories big hitters, like the black death, HIV/ AIDS, and syphilis. How the lack of knowledge & science and even in one more recent case a clerical error, helped spread this misinformation far and wide!

For many years people have reported seeing large Panthers and Leopards roaming around the countryside and urban areas of the UK. Repots in tabloid newspapers sensationally claim that the savage beasts roam free. Amongst livestock kills, photo and video footage, paw prints and sightings from literally a few meters away, is there any physical evidence of their presence? It seems there is.

On November 24th 1971, a man named by the press as DB Cooper hijacked a Boeing 727-100 airliner flying from Portland to Seattle.

Today we discuss the very different lives of two brothers, one a hero and one a monster. The first who was abducted and abused for a huge portion of his formative young life, who escapes, saves another young boy in the process and is considered a hero. The other remains in his family’s safe care, raised by those who love him becomes a serial killer brutally murdering 4 women and is considered a monster. A truly interesting couple of cases in the question of Nature vs Nurture, and how their experiences did not decide the outcome of these two men’s lives.

On August 21st, 1955 after seeing a UFO land outside in the nearby woods, 12 people at a farmhouse in the town of  Kelly had a close encounter with numerous strange glowing entities. The encounter lasted the entire night and resulted in several prolonged gun battles with aliens trying to get inside the house. This is regarded as one of the most significant and well-documented cases in the history of UFO incidents.

In keeping with the Brain On Fire episode where we talked about a case of rare brain autoimmunity called Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, today we talk about 3 other cases of weird brain malfunction.

Civilisation is fragile, extremely fragile. Throughout history numerous powerful civilisations have risen and fallen, unfortunately we are no different. We marvel at our technological prowess, at our seemingly bullet proof modern world but nothing last for ever. At some point it will end and unless we take steps to safeguard or species, humans will eventually die out. This week we look at colonising space, interstellar travel, seed banks, DNA arks, and storing back ups of humanity on other planets for safe keeping.   FB/IG @robotsforeyespodcast podbelly.com retrovague.com suikerapparel.com robotsforeyespodcast.com

Susannah Cahalan a NY based journalist was a normal 24-year-old woman just living her best life, when she started to exhibit some strange symptoms. She described life as feeling strange, brighter, louder, and more painful! Her health declined rapidly into paranoia, strange behavioural outbursts, seizures, and ultimately a catatonic state. Despite all the doctor’s best efforts, they could not find a cause for her condition, until one bright doctor asked her to draw a clock!

This week we discuss the case of English serial killer Stephen Griffiths or the Crossbow Cannibal.

This week we discuss the formation of the moon, its larger size in comparison to the earth, and what makes it so special. The earth moon system is a precisely balanced celestial pair, tuned perfectly for the existence of life. The odds of this are enormous, giving rise to the theory that the moon was placed in orbit around the earth by an alien race billions of years ago.
