Sinister Dynasty - New Zealand (NZ) True Crime Podcast
Join Ayla and Andi as they explore true crime in New Zealand (NZ) (the sinister side of New Zealand). We do this in a light hearted, completely oblivious, un-filtered kind of way. Expect to hear insensitive comments, bad jokes, and to be honest sometimes really offensive obscenities'. We explore NZ true crimes, unexplained phenomenon, and other mind blowing mysteries. Some episodes may be explicit and we recommend listener discretion. | Hosts: Ayla and Andi | Follow us on all the usual Social Media sites.
