It's 1993 and Mr Blobby cannot be killed with conventional weapons (The murder of Paul Logan)

Everyone Dies In Sunderland: A podcast about growing up terrified in the eighties and nineties

The gang returns to 1993 to explore the unsolved murder which took place at the end of John’s road, the killing of takeaway delivery driver Paul Logan. John writes to the Queen. Claire explains where baby foxes come from. Gareth loses 52% of the audience. The IRA fail to stop Mr Blobby.

Digressions in this episode include: The Animals of Farthing Wood, the varied career of composer Hans Zimmer, the alarming pre-“All She Wants” career of one of Ace of Bass, floating candles, children getting lost while potholing and seduction tips from both Shane Richie and a “love guru and Chris de Burgh lookalike”.

Everyone Dies in Sunderland explores some of the darkest moments of North East history, and includes jokes. These jokes will never be at the expense of victims or their families and will always be at the expense of people who deserve to be mocked, robbed of their power and shown up for the idiots they really are. If you’re easily offended or personally connected to the events we’re discussing though,you probably shouldn’t listen.

For all our snark and irreverence we do really hope that bringing this case to a wider audience helps get Paul justice and his family closure.
