Deep dive podcast<\/p>\n
Mr Nuttall co-hosts an online podcast which is branded as a deep dive “into the realms of conspiracy, the occult, magic, spirituality, and everything clandestine.”<\/p>\n
“As two inquisitive minds on a quest for truth, they pull back the curtains of the mundane to reveal a world bubbling with mysteries, hidden agendas, and esoteric knowledge,” the podcast description says.<\/p>\n

On an episode posted on Wednesday night, after the alleged murder took place, Mr Nuttall’s co-host excused his absence.<\/p>\n
“There’s nothing wrong with Toby,” his co-host said.<\/p>\n

“Toby had an appointment he had to come over to Sydney for and he was flying back from Sydney to Perth today.”<\/p>\n
“This is just to tell everybody we won’t be doing one with Toby tonight, we’ll have to do that tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
Mr Nuttall was charged with murder the following evening.<\/p>\n
The charges were referenced by the co-host in a later episode.<\/p>\n
\u201cToby has been charged \u2026. with a very very serious offence over in Perth, something that happened on Wednesday,” the co-host said.<\/p>\n
