162. William “Jackey Jackey” Westwood and the Cooking Pot Rebellion

Author: Tara Sariban and Barney Black July 13, 2020 Duration: 1:01:33

William “Jackey Jackey” Westwood was an english born Bushranger and serial escapologist who was transported to Australia at the age of 16 for stealing a fancy coat.  He promptly escaped and roamed the countryside, tipping his hat at ladies and looking flash in haute couture whilst relieving folks of their valuables. In his four year career he was captured dozens of times, but more slippery than a banana peel dipped in custard, he always managed to escape. That was until the cooking pot rebellion of 1846. Where Jackey Jackey finally made a stand and stood up for what he believed in.

Hosted by Tara Sariban and Barney Black, Bloody Murder-A True Crime Podcast digs into the darker corners of history, focusing on crimes that haven't been covered to exhaustion elsewhere. This award-nominated show explores lesser-known cases from Australia and across the globe, offering detailed narratives that are often overlooked. What sets this podcast apart is its unique tone-a blend of deep research and unexpected comedy that arises naturally from the hosts' dynamic and their own perspective as dedicated true crime fans. The humour is careful and considered, never mocking the victims or the gravity of the events discussed. Instead, it's the odd tangent, the personal reaction, or the absurdity surrounding a case that provides a moment of levity, making the exploration of difficult topics more engaging. Listeners will find a conversation that feels like joining two friends who are equally fascinated and critical, dissecting the how and why while treating the subject with respect. Each episode aims to add a fresh voice to the genre, prioritizing stories that are compelling precisely because they aren't the ones you've already heard a dozen times. It’s this commitment to uncovering obscure tales, paired with a genuinely distinctive rapport between the hosts, that defines the experience of this particular true crime podcast.
