Episode The Real Story of the Postcard Bandit
This is the definitive deep dive into one of the country’s most infamous true crime stories.
In this episode, Wayne unpacks the true story of Brendan Abbott, the man forever known as The Postcard Bandit.
From audacious prison escapes and cross country bank robberies to decades spent in solitary confinement, Abbott’s life has captivated, and divided, the nation for more than 30 years.
Wayne is joined by investigative journalist and author Abe Maddison (also known as Derek Pedley), the writer of Australian Outlaw and one of the few people to have spoken extensively with Abbott himself.
Drawing on years of research, personal correspondence, and firsthand prison visits, Abe tells us the definitive story of The Postcard Bandit.
