Listen to the last episode:

In the very last of our great history stories, we turn to Harry Houdini, one of the great magicians in history, and his time in Australia.

His tale is told by Andrew McConville, from State Library Victoria.

There are almost 280 stories in the In Black and White show, and they're all available for free in this podcast feed.

As we say goodbye after five ears unearthing colourful stories from our past, we would like to sincerely thank our listeners for tuning in and sharing your ratings and reviews.

Tune in to the final episode for some final thank you and a farewell message from the host, Jen Kelly.
