Manage episode 407003278 series 3325455
This week we dive into the mysterious unsolved fire at an amusement park on the Syndey Harbor, Luna Park.
What caused the fire on the ride “The Ghost Train”, taking the lives of seven people.
Was it arson? Or faulty wiring? Or a discarded cigarette? Or something more sinister?
On What We’re Watching we talk about the television show “Ghosted", starring Adam Scott and Craig Robinson.
On Layla and Coffee Talk, find out how our producers feel about our new green screen set up, and see how the feel about our new landscaping..
