About

This week on Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast… when animals attack!!When host Geordie watched the Jordan Peele film Nope, she wondered: was the hard-to-watch on-screen chimp plotline based on a real-life incident? With a little digging, Geordie uncovered the origin story of that disturbing scene… In February 2009, American chimp owner Sandra Herold had her best friend Charla Nash round for a visit. Listen now to find out what Sandra’s chimp Travis did to Charla when she picked up his favourite Tickle-Me-Elmo toy… Michelle then looks at the back story of the protagonist in Werner Herzog’s documentary Grizzly Man… On October 6 2003, Alaskan pilot Willy Fulton was circling Kaflia Lake in Alaska to pick up nature lovers Tim Treadwell and Amie Huguenard who had been on a bear-observing trip in Katmai national park. Instead of finding Tim and Amie, Willy found their remains, ripped to pieces after a bear attack. Listen now to find out what happened… So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit chat about Shane McGowan, Fairytale of New York, dogs eating mince pies and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast.
