In November 1994, Sydney woman Revelle Balmain disappeared after attending what was believed to be her final appointment of the day. More than three decades later, her disappearance remains one of Australia’s most enduring mysteries.

In Revelle Balmain: The Last Appointment, we revisit the final hours before she vanished and speak with people who knew her best including former boyfriends, her stepsister Sue-Ellen, and one of the last people known to have seen Revelle alive.

Through their memories, new interviews and a fresh examination of the case, the series explores who Revelle was, what was happening in her life at the time, and the unanswered questions that remain about her disappearance.

Revelle Balmain: The Last Appointment is coming to Apple Podcasts Subscriptions from Monday, October 19.

In the early hours of a Minnesota morning, nineteen-year-old Brandon Swanson calls his parents after sliding his car into a ditch. He's not hurt. He's not panicking. He just needs help finding his way home.

For nearly an hour, his father stays on the line — listening as Brandon walks through the dark, describing fences, fields, and lights that never seem to get closer. Then, without warning, Brandon says two words. And the call goes silent.

In this episode of Silent Secrets, we explore a disappearance that began and ended on an open phone line, and left behind more questions than answers.

Most people cross the street without ever looking down.
But in cities around the world, hidden beneath layers of asphalt, strange messages were quietly placed tiles speaking of resurrection, Jupiter, and something called the Toynbee Idea.

In this episode of Silent Secrets, we explore the true and unresolved mystery of the Toynbee Tiles — a decades-long phenomenon left behind by an unknown hand, embedded in busy roads and slowly erased by time.

This is not a story meant to frighten you, but one to gently unsettle the edges of certainty…
a reminder that some beliefs don’t seek attention they simply wait to be noticed.
