  • Shortcut: The True Story of the Postcard Bandit
    Apr 24 2026

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

    Brenden Abbott is one of Australia’s most infamous bank robbers, a figure whose crimes, repeated prison escapes, and years spent evading capture throughout the 1990s turned him into something of an outlaw legend.

    To unpack the story behind both the legend and the reality, we’re joined by Abe Maddison (AKA Derek Pedley), author of The Postcard Bandit, an authorised biography of Brenden Abbott.
