The Transcript
Summary
This episode concludes the podcast series with a fictional inquiry into the hosts' alleged misappropriation of public funds. Carlo Ritchie and Tim Batt defend their pivot from investigating the Canterbury Cat to exploring the Titanic disaster and Charles Lightoller. They argue that historical ambiguity mirrors cryptozoological mystery, questioning whether Titanic sank or was sunk. The segment ends with redacted verdicts and apologies from RNZ executives.
