Introducing "Slippery Slope", a true crime series from Dave O'Neil and Brad Oakes

6/10/2025
It’s about Mount Isa and a missing... waterslide. Out every Wednesday over four weeks. This episode, an introduction to one of the most remote and fascinating Australian towns. Is it a town built around a mine or a mine built near a town? Don't worry the locals like Cogho, Shae, Rob Katter (son of Bob!) will let you know. Hosted by comedians Dave O’Neil and Brad Oakes, who uncovered this story while touring in remote Queensland. It’s a story that starts in remote Mount Isa and ends up in international waters, from Turkey to the Suez Canal to Townsville, with an incident involving - wait for it - a pirate attack! Slippery Slope starts in one of the most unique places in Australia, Mount Isa. A town built around a mine in the middle of Queensland, a land that has been sought after for its minerals from its original indigenous owners all the way to 2025 where a Swiss commodity trading company is in charge of the mine. But the story is about people, the people of Mount Isa. Learn more about Slippery Slope here. Looking for a comedian for your next event? Book Dave O'Neil!
