Summary

On 11 October 1991, a man was arrested at a Chinese Restaurant in Brisbane. The charge? Enjoying a meal? A Succulent Chinese Meal?? No… actually it was credit card fraud. Now I was assured that I could speak, so this week I will tell the story of the man, the myth, the legend himself and his wild life!


CW: institutional abuse is briefly mentioned


This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 06:50 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
