Skeptical Short: The Tale of Two Johns
We're talked about Melbourne after the gold rush... but what happened before the shiny metal was found, and what were the dreams of the early Europeans when they arrived on the Yarra River? In this special short episode, Juliana considers the two warring Johns who famously claimed to have founded Melbourne: John Batman and John Pascoe Fawkner. Warning: This podcast contains mentions of colonial era atrocities against Indigenous people.
