Are you ready to embrace the spooky season? Let’s get started!

This week the mysteries continue with Peter and Russell as they look at two famous unsolved conundrums. Grab your forensics kits and help us unravel the mystery of the Dyatlov Pass. Why would a group of experienced hikers abandon their tent in the middle of the night, ill prepared in the freezing cold? Or if you prefer, grab your code breaker and join us for a look into the Voynich Manuscript. Who wrote this 600 year old book and what language was it written in? What are they trying to tell us or even keep hidden from us? The Voynich manuscript has baffled Wold War II code breakers, linguists and even narrow AI. Go to archive.org and view the manuscript for yourself? Can you decode it?

The Eurovision Song Contest is well underway for 2021 and Peter and Russell are reviewing the performances, playing various entries and making some predictions. We have seen most of the dress rehearsals, we've read the reviews, we've picked our favourites and we know which countries have made it into the Grand Final. We will also cover some more fun facts, play some previous winners and talk about how COVID has changed the Eurovision rules. So turn on your wind and smoke machines, break out the Swedish Meatballs and spin those disco balls for the musical extravaganza that awaits. Let the Sound Bites Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest review begin!
