This episode of the Triple B Radio Play Shorts Podcast, hosted by Richard McGrath, Steve Jones & Olivia Hughes, features the final Act of an original Radio Play Short entitled Alex Hartley & the Buccaneer Bounty.

In part one we step back into the Barossa Valley of 1972 and join archaeologist-adventurer Alex Hartley, his practical partner Sam Rivers, and eager protégé Jessie Flynn as they uncover a mystery hidden for centuries. What begins with the discovery of an old chest in a regional museum soon leads to clues pointing toward a legendary pirate treasure, a forgotten palm tree, and the mythical "Barrel of Forever."

As the trio follows a trail stretching from the Barossa to Kapunda, they encounter buried secrets, pirate legends, abandoned mine workings, and the ever-present threat of the scheming Vangrove twins, who are determined to claim the treasure for themselves.

You’ll need to listen to find out what happens to our intrepid trio

The Radio Play Shorts were first broadcast on BBBfm 89.1 on 19th April, 2026
