2. Poems, Anomalies, and Records

‘Back of Bourke’ is a podcast dedicated to unravelling the mysterious 1960s Australian television program Back of Bourke. The show has no remaining footage or information about any of the unknown number of episodes, only confusing and at times outright contradictory information regarding the writers, directors, and overall narrative. We are, currently, entirely dependent on the memories of its previous viewers and dedicated sleuths.
