What if every mystery came with another story hidden inside it?
Welcome to The DownUnder Mystery Club – cosy chats, curious cases and cracking good reads.
I’m AJ Blythe, and I’m joined by fellow mystery author Ava Ness.
Each episode we discuss an Australian real-life mystery. One of us brings the case, the other is hearing it for the first time, just like you at home. We try to make sense of the mystery — the clues, red herrings, and twists — wonder whether everything is really what it seems, and how it might look if it happened today.
Then we explore the fiction it echoes — mystery novels that are just as puzzling, complex, or gripping — so you can discover new reads along the way.
Series one launches on September first with new episodes weekly. Find us wherever you get your podcasts and don’t forget to follow so you don’t miss an episode.
Settle in, grab a cuppa, and join the club.
The DownUnder Mystery Club.
Until next time… club adjourned.

Sounds like good fun. Are you planning to use it for blog posts?

Yes and no – I will still blog once a week like normal, but I have split my blog pages so on this page only podcast episodes will show. This way I have somewhere for show transcripts, links to books, additional information, photos, related videos etc. I just have to work out if I can have a table of contents on the right side that is podcast-centric only, rather than the full list of posts. The podcast will be 10eps with (hopefully) 2 series per year.

Just realised why you asked that question, Sue. The trailer is on my blog page and on my podcast episode page. Sigh. tech is so hard to sort out sometimes! (thought I had it sorted before I went live). Might just leave it cause if I try and fix I am just going to break something!
