  • Fisher's Ghost: Brat Summer (Revenge Beyond The Grave Edition)
    Aug 27 2024

    Is this the most unhinged episode of All Aussie Hour and its past iterations yet? Maybe. A very hungover Mel tells Josie about Fisher's Ghost, a ye olde tale about a man who gets murdered and then does some messy, dramatic revenge by reappearing as a ghost to take down his murderer. Charli XCX would love.
