S1 Ep 91But WAS Tasha Dhanraj Kidnapped?
EIn this episode the Drunk Women are joined by comedy writer Tasha Dhanraj, who opens the show with a story of the time where she may, or may not have been kidnapped...it's open to interpretation.The gang then get their teeth into a case, which they really manage to flesh-out details such as; how calorific is human 'meat'?Luckily for our hosts though, detective Tasha turned-out to be somewhat of an expert in the subject of cannibalism...should we be afraid? As Taylor points-out, we're going to be afraid of EVERYONE at some point in this case. Bon appétit! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 90Desiree Burch's Swinging Detective
EJust because we're still in lock-down at the time of record, it doesn't mean historical crimes should go unsolved by drunk women!And so Hannah, Catie and Taylor bravely grab a bottle and get started on a crime which encapsulates drugs, alcohol, adultery and a false accusation - seems like a pretty standard evening in to us.Joining them in their quest to get to the bottom of it all (crime AND bottle) is comedian Desiree Burch, who starts things-off by re-accounting the time she encountered a total jerk during rush hour.Then, during the gang's dissection of the main story, several key questions came to the fore...Are the US really king of the armchairs? Is an affair worse than indulging in opium and orgies? And do all roads ultimately lead to Bournemouth? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 89Frankie Ward & Crime by Clown
EIn today's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, eSports presenter Frankie Ward jumps on the conference call to flex her sleuthing guns. She shares the time she was recipient of a birthday crime; which is bad enough in itself, but you could argue the real crime occurred 6 months later, thanks to an aspiring clown.Speaking of circuses, this week's main crime is a riot of political espionage, assassination and some stunning last words...oh and Catie does a rap, which she can TOTALLY pull off. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 88Laura Lexx & The Case of The Gun Wielding Granny
EThe Drunk Women are back with an epic ride of a story which takes-in a landscape ranging from incompetent intruders, to prohibition, with adventures across land and sea and a debate on whether turning a women upside down and shaking her is less humane if she's of retirement age...I mean it probably is, but we'll let you decide for yourself.Helping to make all of this happen is comedian Laura Lexx who recounts a tale from her youth involving the most time efficient flasher in history! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 87An Education With Lizzie Roper
EThis episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime is an education in SO many ways...we find out that Guernsey produces a very, very special type of rum, that almost every adult male who visited Madame Tussaud's during the early 2000s probably has a photo of themselves being inappropriate with the Kylie waxwork, and that this week's guest, the hilarious Lizzie Roper REALLY knows how to enjoy herself in a reclining chair!The gang then dive into a crime from history which inspired one of the greatest fictional sleuths of all time and shows that no good ever came of a trip to the woods... to find out more check out Daniel Smith’s book- https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/The-Ardlamont-Mystery-by-Daniel-Smith-author/9781782438458 Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 86Ruth Bratt & A Fiction of Fraud
EComing to you straight outta quarantine, our plucky detectives embrace the technology (and drinking alone) enabling us to engage in some sleuthing - lockdown style. Joining them, from the safety of her own home is comedian, writer, actor & improviser, Ruth Bratt!Ruth shares a crime which shows an auspicious start to her career. The gang then look at a crime in which the main perpetrator was perhaps slightly disillusioned with their own talents ...which ultimately leads them down a dishonest path. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 85The Drunk Women & The Duel
EIt's the first episode in the 'brave new world' of recording, as the Drunk Women get their tech savvy nieces & nephews to hook them up to some super smart conferencing software, so the gang can continue to solve crimes whilst drinking in the comfort of their own homes. There are lots of amazing guests booked in over the coming weeks, but the feeling at Drunk Women Towers was to kick this temporary style of recording off with just Catie, Taylor & Hannah, so we can all get used to it together. This means we get the added treat of hearing from each of our hosts when THEY'VE been the victim of a crime, proving that crimes even happen to top detectives!We then get into a case, which you'd need to get up early in the morning to solve ... dawn to be precise (that will be funny once you've listened to the episode). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 84Monica Heisey & Spring-Heeled Jack
EIn the final 'throwback' edition, the Drunk Women were joined by Canadian writer and comic, Monica Heisey. Monica bookends this episode beautifully with two occasions she was the victim of a crime - and she's probably the MOST empathetic 'victim' to have ever featured on the show.The gang then explore the murky world of 'Spring-Heeled Jack' whose baffling method of abusing his victims prompts many an interesting theory from the drunken detectives.We also find out that Hannah's family opt for a rather unorthodox parlour game on Christmas Day...Although the Drunk Women won't be together for a little while, episodes will be continuing and some fantastic guests have agreed to join-in on the drunkest, most crimey video conferencing to occur during the time of self-isolation.Stay safe and see you next week!

S1 Ep 83Liz Miele & The Spy With The Cold Nose
EHello to all of our socially distancing / self isolating friends! The Drunk Women are still digging-deep into their well of episodes which were recorded whilst drinking in the same room was still a regular occurrence.Joining them (in the flesh) is hilarious, New York based comic Liz Miele, who dropped-in whilst she was over in London, touring her show a few weeks ago.Liz shares a crime, which could only have been committed in the 21st century and will probably make you want to upgrade your computer firewall.The group then prove that you don't need to be a sports -fan (or have ANY sports based knowledge) to be able to solve a crime which shook the world of a particular sporting tournament. ...and there's a surprising hero in the story, who turned out to be a very good boy! We'll be back with another episode next Wednesday. In the meantime, we hope everyone out there is safe and well at this very strange time. All our love, The Drunk Women Xx. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 82Charlie Dinkin & The Mouse Butter Murderer
EYou may be aware that this episode was recorded in an era when we could all get drunk in the same room, rather than over Skype; so let yourself be transported to the time when writer, director & comedian Charlie Dinkin dropped into Drunk Women Towers to share some booze, solve a crime and sit within two meters of Hannah, Catie & Taylor.Today we hear a story of a robbery taking place ON A PLANE and solve a case involving a murderer who manages to keep a saintly image - despite the fact that anyone close to her comes to a sticky end - and we also find out that 'mouse butter' was a 'thing' back in the day...We then round it all-off with a listener crime involving a fancy car and a drug cartel... standard stuff.As a side-note, thanks to the wonders of technology, episodes will continue to to go ahead from respective isolations once the studio records have all been released... we thought it best not to isolate together, no one's liver would be able to survive that!Sending all of our lovely listeners (and non-listeners) much love and strength at this odd time.The Drunk Women team Xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 81Margaret Cabourn-Smith & Boop Boop Be Doop
EBack in the days when everyone could shake-hands and sit in the same room as each other, lovely actor, podcaster and comedian Margret Caborn-Smith dropped into Drunk Women Towers and told some disturbing tales of 'crime-negging' which have befallen her AND some of her friends.The team then look into a case of plagiarism which implicates one of the pioneering characters of the silver screen, whist along the way, we hear about some strange crushes held by our drunk detectives, including a fictional anthropomorphised car ...The gang then attempt to solve a crime from a listener, who needs help after someone taught their son some rather inappropriate language...

S1 Ep 80DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Andi Osho
EThe Drunk Women love being able to spend International Women's Day together and so decided to do a live show as part of the Vaults Festival, also raising money for child.org and joining them to do all of this was actor, comedian and writer, Andi Osho!Andi's own crime story could have easily been a plot in a James Bond novel and showed that most villains would have to get up early to have one over on her, which she also went on to demonstrate when Hannah presented a case involving a woman who inspired celebrity status for her confidence tricks - which are truly awe inspiring.The evening was rounded-off nicely by an audience member sharing a mystery of a missing engagement ring.... which actually could still be in her bag to be fair. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 79Sarah Morgan & A Merciless Bludgeoning
EThe team very much broke dry January in style (spoiler - this was recorded in February 2020) when they got together to pop some corks and crack a crime or two!Joining them is comedy writer Sarah Morgan, who came armed with some fake Chambord and tale of the time she fell foul of a scam particularly popular on London's Oxford Street.We then get to the bottom of a 'merciless bludgeoning' which may, or may not have been connected to a bad debt and also may be providing a glimpse into life post Brexit.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 78Philippa Perry & The Radioactive Rogue
EIn today's episode, the Chardonnay flows as the gang come to some heady conclusions regarding a crime of nuclear proportions and helping them out with some amazingly astute observations is psychotherapist and author, Philippa Perry!Philippa begins proceedings by sharing an infuriating miscarriage of justice by her local council, which she actually says is more upsetting than the time she was mugged! And of course there's a listener crime which actually gets solved ... probably Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 77Saima Ferdows & A Right, Royal Gem of a Heist
EThis episode welcomes comedy director & producer Saima Ferdows to our ever expanding force and what an asset she is.We start by hearing about a crime committed against Saima which could unleash a podcast called 'Drunk Women COMMITTING Crime'. It's then of course time to get into the work of a ne'er-do-well from history, in this instance the criminal attempted a confidence trick of royal proportions, hitting the victim in more than just The Crown Jewels - despite some abysmal planning skills.The gang then solve a crime sent in by a listener, for which both Saima and Hannah can offer some empathy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 76Iszi Lawrence & A Daughter's Revenge
EThe Drunk Women welcome comedian, writer and broadcaster Iszi Lawrence to the force this week and what a stroke of luck that she happens to be a natural detective .. even after a carafe of vino. In this episode, the team delve into a case which sees a daughter take some pretty gruesome revenge for her dad's rather gruesome end (although did he not bring that on himself?) and we learn once and for all, that history is 'really much worse than you can imagine'... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 75Maria Shehata & A Ghostly Encounter
EJoining The Drunk Women this week, is Maria Shehata who has a no-nonsense attitude when it comes to mathematical questions. Before the gang dissect a crime of the spirit kind, they hear about Maria's encounters with crime whilst she was a resident of New York City .We also get to hear a listener crime, which probably won't affect any cars manufactured in this millennium. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 74Sally Abbott & The Deadly Detox
EIn this episode, The Drunk Women are joined by a lady who has been writing TV crime drama for so long, she's sure to help us get into the mind of any perpetrator - it's screenwriter and super sleuth, Sally Abbott!Sally talks us through some of the crimes which have coincided with key moments in her life AND tells us about some techniques used to get prisoners to feel empathy for their victims - fascinating stuff.The gang then hear about a woman who would no doubt have a huge Insta following today, as she peddled a detox regimen - which had deadly results.This week's listener crime sounds like a very narrow escape for one savvy lady, and her knowledge of what kind of shovel is used for clearing snow may well have saved her life! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 73Megan Prescott & A Revolutionary Murder
EThe Drunk Women are back in the studio, which can only mean ONE thing - unlimited time for drinking and solving crimes!This very well may be a second record, but we'll let you decide ....Joining the force this week is actor, writer and all-round bad-ass Megan Prescott, who proves that one word from her can reduce those who commit the crime (and it is a crime) of street harassment to a gibbering wreck.Our drunk detectives then grapple with the murder of one of the 20th century's most notorious characters - who had some of the spookiest last words ever recorded - before helping a listener get to the bottom of who might have burgled her whilst she was breast feeding?! On that last matter, we're not sure they helped - but they definitely didn't make things worse. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 72DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Katie Mulgrew
EThe gang are hanging around The Salford Lowry for the second week running, as the good people of Manchester still need them to solve some crime and drink prosecco (it's usually prosecco); and this week there's even more booze for them, as guest detective, comedian Katie Mulgrew was pregnant at the time of record, so stuck to cola and Milky Bar Buttons to keep her analytical skills sharp.Although she's off the sauce just now, Katie told us about the time a burglary happened right under her nose after a particularly boozy night out and then the team put their wits to good use, when they get to the bottom of a case involving a bisexual, opera singing, sword fighter - now THAT'S extra curricular. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 71DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Lou Conran
EThe Drunk Women are BACK and leaving Dry January for someone else to do; after all there's crimes that need solving and they ain't about to do that sober!This episode was recorded at the fantastic Salford Lowry and the equally fantastic comedian, Lou Conran came along for the ride, proving herself an able member of the force (she pre-loaded with a bottle of prosecco).Lou kicked things off and detailed the time she was the victim of a theft, a story with a cast of thousands - including a famous actor.The team solve a case and uncover what has to be the inspiration for the character of Spiderman (probably) and an audience member shares perhaps the most bizarre crime, in which she is an actual suspect - did she do it? Listen to find out.... oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Christmas Message
bonusEHe's been - and left you all something rather special in your Christmas stockings.As it's Christmas Day, our drunk detectives are taking a well earned break from sleuthing (but not from the boozing of course), but these podcasting queens have left you a Christmas message for the whole family to gather round and listen to.So throw another log in the fire, grab a bottle of Creme-De- Menthe and enjoy!The Drunk Women will return on Wednesday 8th January, in the meantime, why not re-live some past episodes and leave a review for the gang to read?HAPPY CHRISTMAS - See you in 2020!

S1 Ep 70DRUNK WOMEN LIVE AT CHRISTMAS: With Rachel Parris
EIT'S CHRISSSSSTMAASSSSS! So what better way to get in the festive spirit than joining the Drunk Women and comedian Rachel Parris for a night of fizz and true-crime-frolics in London's glittering Leicester Square Theatre!The team also grapple with the theft of a diamond bigger than a Christmas bauble and linked to one of the world's biggest film stars.Rachel reveals that she's a magnet for anyone wanting to steal a musical instrument and we hear from audience member (and birthday girl ) Laura who is perplexed at the theft of a wicker crate .... no really.The Drunk Women are taking a break over the festive season (to hone their drinking skills) and will be back to ruin Dry January on 8th January 2020, until then we'd like to thank all our amazing listeners for a wonderful 2019 and wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and New Year.See you in 2020!Cheers ears!

S1 Ep 69DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Olga Koch
EThe Drunk Women once again took to the stage of the Soho Theatre and thought they'd invite comedian and fruit enthusiast Olga Koch along for the ride. This show has it all; strippers, a heckler, a case involving poisoning, a missing leg and possibly the sexiest of all crimes ... insurance fraud.Plus, as always we hear from a member of the audience who need the help of our tipsy detectives to get some closure from a crime they've been the victim of and so we hear from Becky, who is the repeated victim of crime at family functions.Plus you can find out what Olga is up to by checking-out www.rocknrolga.com Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 68DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Kerry Howard
EAlthough at the time of release we're all gearing-up for Christmas, the team at Drunk Women Towers invite you to cast your minds back to Halloween 2019 when our tipsy trio boarded the ghost train to foggy Corsham so they could bring Drunk Women Solving Crime to the West Country.You just need to know that because they all talk about being dressed up at the start, but other than that it could be any drunken evening, as the team dive into the life of a confidence trickster whose story became a blockbusting film... don't try to guess what the film is at this stage, because it's really annoying - all will be revealed.As usual they enlist the help of a star super-sleuth and so the wonderful actor, writer and right good laff Kerry Howard engaged her little grey cells and pretty much solved it (along with a woman in the audience who clearly LOVES the film of the story).Huge thanks to all at the Pound Arts Centre, Corsham for supplying a fine wine cellar and for their hospitality.Don't forget to check drunkwomensolvingcrime.com for show listings (some in Spring 2020 to be announced) and for exclusive Drunk Women Solving Crime merch!

S1 Ep 67Men's Month Special 4 - With Joe Lycett
EAs 'Men's Month' draws to a close, the Drunk Women are joined by the man to end all men - the one and only Joe Lycett!He came armed with a bottle of bio-dynamic red and a curious mind to help the gang solve a case in which the perpetrator set pulses racing - and not thanks to his criminal tendencies... goodness knows what Joe's Fitbit will make of all this.The team then get stuck in to a listener's tale of woe and attempt to bring a housemate's despicable behaviour to justice; I'm not sure they helped, but they didn't make it worse.Our thanks to all the fine men who have joined us over the last 4 weeks, back to normal next week with an all 'female workplace' (FEMALE WORKPLACE MERCH NOW AVAILABLE AT https://drunkwomensolvingcrime.teemill.com/) Hosted on Acast.

S1 Ep 66Men's Month Special 3 - With Phil Wang
EAs men's month marches on apace, the Drunk Women are joined by comedian Phil Wang to help them get to the bottom of a case. Of beer. And some crime, too.The gang analyse the story of two women who not only had a thirst for gin, but for murder, and inspired a famous musical and film. Before all that though, Phil beguiles the group with not one, but two tales of crime victimhood and shows he's a VERY forgiving friend. Then, as usual the team round things off by helping a listener with their own true crime, which in this instance would go well with some mint sauce. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 65Men's Month Special 2 - With Richard Osman
EIt's week two of 'Men's Month' and so the Drunk Women invited presenter, writer and all-round brain-box Richard Osman to join the force and put those little grey cells to good use.Richard (or Detective Loophole as he shall now always be known) enlisted the others to get to the bottom of who's quite literally trashing him every week, before getting stuck in to a case which coined a famous psychological term - oh and one of the perpetrators is total eye candy, so make sure you check out our Twitter for the evidence @drunkwomenpod. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 64Men's Month Special 1 - With James Acaster
EAfter 14 months of exclusively letting women flex their drunk detective skills, the ladies thought they'd honour International Men's Day on 19th November the only way they know how...by inviting four men round throughout the month and plying them with hard booze in order to solve a past crime.First off we have comedian James Acaster, who came laden with a 'great' cocktail recipe and a request for Tia Maria, vodka and stout... here ladies and gentlemen for your listening pleasure, is the result of that union.James kicks things off by telling a story that confirms he's more than qualified to join the force, after starting early in life at the detecting game. The gang then attempt to get to the bottom of a crime involving an unconfirmed spiritual possession (whilst in possession of some spirits of their own). They then set about cracking a listener case, with a slightly inaccurate method of proving if someone may or may not be guilty, usually reserved for the kangaroo court of the playground. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 63DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: Scummy Mummies
EWhat could be more on-brand for the Drunk Women than a late night drinking session in Soho? Not much, so the gang congregated at Soho Theatre to solve a crime which involved over 600 wives poisoning their husbands.For the first time ever they were joined by TWO GUESTS, when crime fighting duo Ellie Gibson and Helen Thorn - otherwise known as The Scummy Mummies - came to help get to the bottom of the cold case and to share the time they almost collectively fell victim to a crime in front of a sellout audience!Plus, the audience crime is provided by friend of the show, Jenny 'The Vixen' Ryan - who despite her fame and fortune is most definitely still 'Jenny From The Block' ... as you will hear. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 62Martina Cole, Father-Son Murder & Stolen Nail Varnish
EThis episode sees the Drunk Women back in the studio, with a crate of prosecco and a crime to solve, so they decided to call on a lady who creates crime in her brain for the entertainment of others - best selling crime writer, Martina Cole!Martina kicks things off with a petty crime committed in her youth, which lead to a VERY public punishment and then lends her considerable crime smarts to help get to the bottom of a case in which was possibly caused by religious fervour, or just an extremely bad father/ship. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 61DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: Andrea Hubert
EThis episode has more than a whiff of summer about it, as it was recorded one balmy July evening during the Ventnor Fringe, which prompted comedian Andrea Hubert to get on a ferry to help solve a crime - and confess to one of her own, which resulted in a ASBO.The gang pop a few proseccos and then dissect the misdemeanours of the leaders of a so-called religious cult in Mexico.And this week's audience crime is provided by someone very familiar to one member of the group, although it doesn't sound like they need any help in solving crimes! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

DRUNK GUILTY FEMINISTS SOLVING CRIME
bonusEHave you ever wondered what would happen if The Drunk Women came together with top-pod The Guilty Feminist and mashed-the-hell out of their formats, dropping a (slightly depressing) drinks trolley into the mix?Well wonder no more, as thanks to the brilliant Deborah Frances-White, this actually happened and you can now hear the result.Not only do you get some classic Guilty Feminist AND Drunk Women Solving Crime gold, but special guest Sindhu Vee lends her super sleuthing and stand-up skills to proceedings.As the gang drink the trolley dry, they get to the bottom of the case of the notorious Ma Barker in front of a sold-out theatre - and let's just say that Guilty Feminist audiences got to see their host in a completely different light! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

S1 Ep 60DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Zoe Lyons

S1 Ep 56DRUNK WOMEN LIVE: With Anneka Rice
ELike a fine wine, this episode was bottled back in the heady days of summer, when the gang took a suitcase of prosecco aboard the ferry and found themselves on the sunny Isle of Wight, during the Ventnor Fringe Festival in order to solve a case which could mean espionage has reached the land across the Solent. On hand was adventurer and Island local, Anneka Rice - who revealed a pretty thrilling spy connection of her own, along with the ability to live a double life.So sit back and let the sounds of summer flood your ears .... four women getting drunk in front of a sell out crowd at Ventnor Arts Club.
