Do Go On: The Tylenol Murders

We're taking a little break over Summer and using this time to spotlight some of our favourite podcasts.

Do Go On is a fact based comedy podcast hosted by Melbourne comedians Jess Perkins, Matt Stewart and Dave Warneke. Each week they take it in turns to report on a topic and have covered everything from the life of Dolly Parton to the Chernobyl Disaster, Argentina's Heist of the Century to The History of The Penis.

Show notes: In 1982, Chicago was rocked by a terrifying crime. Panic set in as across the city people began to drop dead after taking over the counter Tylenol paracetamol. It soon became apparent that someone had replaced the pills with cyanide. The Do Go On podcast reports on the case.
