Drunk Women Solving Crime

As this year's 'Men's Month' draws to a close, who better to usher it out than the fantastic comedian, presenter and trainer enthusiast; Romesh Ranganathan!Romesh brings with him a tale of a crime which has probably marred what should be a pretty great memory, but at least he can take comfort in his enviable sartorial style ... probably.The team then get their bottle caps off, whilst putting their thinking caps on to try and get to the bottom of a case with more than a few twists (of lime), whilst assessing just how gullible they would be if they found themselves in the same situation as this week's perps (ans: just as gullible).And as usual we hear from a listener who is in need of our crack team's investigative skills - this week we get some great advice on how to deal with shop-based trouble makers in pretty convincing role-play.Thanks so much to all the guys who have guested on Men's Month 2020, it's been a blast and look forward to welcome four more dudes to the force in 2021.AND check-out the extras available on their Patreon page - including uncensored extra material: Patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

It's the penultimate episode of Men's Month 2020, so Catie, Hannah and Taylor decided the time had come to unleash the super-sleuthing skills of the one and only, comedian, writer and podcast king - Mr Adam Buxton!If you're in need of some fun and frivolity (and let's face it, you probably are), then look no further than this episode, which features stories from some of Adam's many bike related crime stories, which may (or may not) involve Mark Zukerberg and a listener's fridge based mystery - which Adam solves in just two words - he really is an asset to the force.Our crime busting boozers, also dive into a story, which takes us into the world of art and involves perhaps one of the worst attempts at a criminal disguise - which wouldn't look out of place in an Inspector Clouseau film - and also depicts probably one of the unluckiest first days in a job ever!AND check-out DWSC's brand new Patreon page, where you can find extra content, videos, ad free eps and more : patreon.com/drunkwomensolvingcrime Hosted on Acast.

As Men's Month continues through lockdown part 2 - what better way to spend it than in the company of comedian, presenter and author, Tom Allen! The team welcome Tom with open arms and provide some much needed trauma counselling for a wrong he has lived with since his school days - if the perpetrator happens to be listening to this episode, they will surely feel thoroughly ashamed of themselves! We then hear about a case in which it's more likely you'll know the musical it's based on, rather than the story itself, so listen to this and amaze your friends with some very strong quiz worthy facts. We then, as always, get to solve a listener crime, which this week, features a lady who has shutters on her windows - which shows that our audience must be of the highest calibre! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

At the time of release for this episode, it's November 2020, which can only mean one thing ... THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN!Yes, Hannah, Taylor & Catie decided to give the men of the comedy world a well-earned leg-up, by allowing four of them on the show throughout the month - in honour of International Men's Day on November 19th. And to kick things off for us this year is the fantastic Nish Kumar, whose enthusiasm for solving crime is as infectious as his laugh.Nish and the gang immerse themselves into a story which has some rather unexpected plot twists, as well as an accidental key player in canine form. Before that, Nish begins the show with a tale which either shows his heroics, or that his mum is utterly terrifying...probably a bit of both. To round things off, we hear from a listener, whose crime probably shouldn't be listened to whilst eating, and just goes to prove - you can't polish a turd.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Drunk Women are here again, bringing you another night-out in your ears, with the help of screen writer, Lisa Holdsworth.It would appear that the burglars in Lisa's neighbourhood treat robbing her as an annual event - although it's not without some help from Lisa herself.The group then put their heads together to join-up the dots in a case which, despite being steeped in prejudice of the worst kind, would surely make an Oscar winning film.Then, cherished listener Lisa provides a crime which took it's time to be solved - you'll understand what we mean by that by listening! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The women are drunk, there's an historical true crime that needs solving and for the 112th time, the two things are in the same place, at the same time - yes, our sozzled detectives are back and joining them with her own special brand of sleuthing smarts, is author, comedian and soon to be pop sensation, Ariane Sherine!Ariane starts off proceedings by recounting a crime, which could have lead to life-long happiness, but instead just gave some intel into how some law enforcers behaviour is less than exemplary. We then hear about a case from history, which may have stumped the male elite of the day, but proves no match for four tipsy women...just how stressful IS a picnic to plan?And then, we hear from a listener who needs some light-shedding on a harrowing time - of which the crime was just a tiny part.After hearing this, you'll go straight out and get your own 'anxiety chocolate'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today’s episode of DWSC welcomes comedian and poet Sarah Callaghan to the force, who brought with her a tale of criminal woe which was triggering for The Drunk Women, as it would appear that old people aren’t always as sweet as they may appear.Our super-sleuths then learn about a particularly strange trend in law enforcement which causes Catie to reach the top tier of incredulity and quite rightly so!This week’s listener crime is a cautionary tale which many people during lockdown would have unfortunately been victim to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Drunk Women are back, helping to make your Wednesdays go with a bang and today bringing some explosive energy of her own is comedian, actor & podcaster, Samantha Baines!Our guest detective gets things going by recounting the many times she's been the victim of a crime - one of them at the hands of her own mother, the evidence of which will still exist.The team then pool their resources to solve a case which although gruesome, fascinatingly changed the way murders were tried forever as well as being a trailblazer in the use of forensic evidence.Then as always, we hear from one of our amazing listeners who presents a wrongdoing in their lives for the team to crack and by-jove I think they did. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's edition of DWSC Taylor displays some enviably relaxed hosting skills, whilst presenting a fascinating case which 'poses' countless questions, as well as making us realise that behind every nude statue is a great woman.The gang are also joined by the awesome podcaster, animator and very able detective, Poppy Hillstead, who tells us about the time she was present for the kind of crime that, although baffling to comprehend, can only be witnessed by someone who has made the leap to the big city - Carrie Bradshaw would be green with envy.The whole team then solve a riddle posed by cherished listener Vanessa, who certainly gave the those little grey cells a work-out! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Just like moths to a flame, you can’t keep the Drunk Women away from a bottle of fizz, or a crime that needs solving, and joining them to bump their head into that beautiful light, is comedian, podcaster and absolute trooper, Sarah Keyworth.Things get-off to a showbizzy start, when Sarah recounts a crime which *could* have been the result of mistaken identity, or due to Mariah Carey living a far more unassuming life than we give her credit for.The gang then hunker-down to a case which I think we can all agree will make us eternally grateful for modern medicine…when was the last time a physician stuck their finger in your ear by way of diagnosis? We’re guessing never. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's time for another hit of drunken true crime solving, and joining in the pie-eyed sleuthing this week is podcaster, journalist & presenter Jackie Adedeji!Before digging into this week's case, Jackie reveals that thanks to a momentary lapse in concentration, someone out there could be running around with her identity! But as this episode proves, there is only ONE Jackie Adedeji with the detective skills to navigate the twists and turns of a complicated heist...and decide which kind of food / drink combo goes best with such an occasion.We then get to hear about a listener crime which has SO many layers it could be the basis of an Agatha Christie novel .... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Drunk Women are back with another set of mysterious circumstances to sift through, this week they are aided and abetted by the hilarious comedian and writer Joanne McNally.Joanne reaccounts a crime which will chime with many of your lock-down experiences and is also a lesson in reading the reviews ... if only for comedy value. The gang then circumnavigate their way through the twists and turns of a confidence trickster - who obviously had the stuff in abundance! Then, we hear from a listener, who perhaps just needs their sense of direction testing, rather than a crime solving?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Drunk Women are here again, solving crime and drinking wine so you don't have to ... although who wouldn't want to do those things?Well, this week's guest Athena Kugblenu was certainly keen to get involved and crack a case which is a joy-ride from start-to-finish, and comes courtesy of cherished listeners Becky and Tom in Paris. Athena herself has an interesting crime theme running through her life, which you could argue is somewhat self inflicted - although also a good argument for avoiding the gym, if you didn't need one already. And, as ever we round things-off nicely with a crime sent in by a listener, which is the epitome of a frosty reception.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's episode was recorded during a heatwave in the UK (for those of you overseas, yes they DO sometimes occur), so the crime isn't the only cold case the gang crack open for our listening pleasure. Although this week's guest detective, writer Christina Martin, snubbed a cold beer from the fridge in favour of a beverage which couldn't be less suited to sticky temperatures - how did that work out? You'll have to listen to find out.Christina kicks things off for us with the story of a car, which can only be described as cursed, and then our team look at an audacious prison break and how it could compare with a trip to Dunelmfurniture store ... there may be more similarities than you realise.In this week's listener story, the team crack a crime which really takes the biscuit... delicious. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How solved is your crime? Well, thanks to former MI6 employee / journalist / cleaning guru, Aggie MacKenzie, today's story gets a thorough rinsing. Yes, many of you will be familiar with Aggie for her TV show, 'How Clean Is Your House?', but were you aware that she spent some time working for the secret service? Listen to the episode to find out more about that AND our guest's crimes, which just go to show that some criminal situations could have only happened in the 1960s. The team then dig in to some of the lesser known pursuits of one of history's 'naughty boys', who may have wanted to get himself checked out at the sexual health clinic. We then round things off with a listener tale in which the perpetrator certainly had his chips! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The gang are back with another historical case to solve, and helping everyone achieve that goal is comedian, writer & MC, Arielle Souma!Arielle not only brings some handy historical knowledge to proceedings, but also, single-handedly, makes true crime sexy ... FINALLY!We start by hearing about the time our guest was left in a tight spot on holiday, which resulted in a confusing turn of events and a thrilling car ride, before then moving on to hear about a case which is not only a fascinating lesson in royal history, but also one in how inept some potential perpetrators can be.We then hear from cherished Australian listener Vanessa who was framed by someone in her own family for something she didn't do and it looks like detective Souma gets to the bottom of that one too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode, the Drunk Women welcome a guest who has ALL the smarts to be a top detective; it's writer, comedian and podcaster, Viv Groskop!Although Viv doesn't hail from the big city, she grew up having to keep her wits about her on the mean streets of Somerset in order to provide key statements to the local police - as you will hear.These foundation skills enable Viv to ask all the right questions and get to the nub of it all... whilst the others do what they do best... basically most of the stuff that Viv does but with about 6 drinks inside of them. All together though, they make quite a team and do a pretty thorough job in solving a case which had dire consequences for thousands of people on one fateful day.We then hear from a listener who needs a mystery solving which only brings home to the rest of us how stingy our Aunties actually are. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yes, that's right, Taylor, Catie and Hannah have gotten drunk at least ONE HUNDRED times (there were a few practice runs), all in the name of solving crime.... well, mostly in the name of solving crime.The gang have had some exemplary company along the way and this week their 100th guest-sleuth is none other than film star, talk show host & documentary maker - Ricki Lake!Ricki shows dedication to the force by indulging in some day-time drinking on account of appearing from a different time zone (as if by magic) and sharing the story of the time she ended up behind bars - who knew?!The team then get down to solving a case about a perp talented at creating some pretty cool pseudonyms, and discover that detective Lake is more than an asset to the force - they don't call her 'One-Take-Lake' for nothing - as you'll find out.So pop a cork and join in with this centenary episode, thanks SO much for being with us for the last one hundred shows, here's to the next one hundred! X Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hooray, the Drunk Women continue to entertain themselves AND us through these socially distant times by welcoming a guest to help solve a crime, whilst getting responsibly sozzled!In today's episode, the gang are joined by comedian Esther Manito, whose suspicion of children on the crime scene could have been a direct result of her younger years... although we're not sure Oliver Twist would have walked backwards into the cinema...She proves invaluable however in today's main case which seems to play-up to the stereotype of students being big stoners, but probably not in the way YOU'RE thinking.There's also a royal connection and an unearthed mystery which could well reveal itself at the next coronation.Plus: a listener crime which proves a vacuum can be a deadly weapon.Heads-up: Get ready to pop the prosecco with the Drunk Women & VERY special guest next week for their ONE HUNDREDTH episode!   Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, the gang dissect (!) the story of someone who wasn't actually breaking any laws at the time, but whose practices would certainly raise a few eyebrows if attempted today .. in more ways than one.It's a gripping tale, but probably not the best accompaniment to a plate of spaghetti - unless you happen to be this week's guest, comedy writer, Christine Robertson - who relished in her role as amature sleuth. Christine starts proceedings by sharing with us an occasion where she and her whole school class were victim to the same crime, and it may (or may not) confirm a stereotype of the perpetrators of a certain act... or maybe it's just a cry for help? To get the FULL DWSC experience this week, why not try Christine's own cocktail recipe of alternating between Aperol Spritz & yesterday's prosecco ... don't knock it till you've tried it!  Hosted on Acast.

We all know that crime busting and the medical profession go hand-in-hand, after-all where would Holmes be without his Dr Watson?The cop in Diagnosis Murder wouldn't solve ANYTHING without his dad, Dr Dick Van-Dyke and don't get me STARTED on Quincy!Well, this week's episode of DWSC sees our sloshed sleuths welcome their very own Watson in the form of (non-drunken) Doctor Nidhi Gupta to the force.Nidhi is a film maker and writer and took the unexpected step of returning to front line medicine to work on the Covid 19 wards - contracting the virus herself whilst saving the lives of others. It was during this time that she became victim of perhaps the most cowardly crime EVER committed, as you'll hear for yourself.Our doctor / detective team then go-on to solve a crime which ends-up implicating those at the very top of society...it's a scenario which wouldn't look too out of place today.Talking about history repeating itself, Nidhi also talks about her amazing crowd fund project to make a film about how we can learn from past catastrophes, look here for more info:-greenlit.fund/project/start-stop-repeat Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's episode, the team go stateside for their latest recruit: comedian Fortune Feimster!. Fortune brings some serious insight to a crime which would have lesser detectives well and truly stumped. The gang discuss the different ways a crime can be committed in a plane, how long it's acceptable to hide in the toilets to get a break from your kids, and how many typists is acceptable to have with you whilst travelling. Fortune shares a crime which most people wouldn't be a victim of after the year 2008, as well as accidentally blowing a listener's alibi wide open. Check out Fortune's Netflix special Sweet and Salty, and find out more about her at https://www.fortunefeimster.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's another day in lockdown, but that's not gonna stop The Drunk Women from smashing a case, whilst getting smashed over Zoom. Joining them this week is bestselling author Jane Fallon, who despite not showing early promise as a reliable witness, certainly went on to prove her sleuthing-smarts, as she provides the kind of observations worthy of someone at the top of the force. This week's case involves a 'power couple' of crime and although Jane wouldn't notice them actually committing a felony, she'd certainly be able to spot them in a line up. The team then go on to hear about a listener crime which also displays some pretty stunning (if rather dangerous) crime solving skills! Who says you can't bring your A-game whilst drinking?  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, journalist Jo Elvin brings something to this case that no other guest could. It's taken many attempts to get Jo on the show and if one of the other occasions had worked-out, this fantastic coincidence would have never come into being; to find out just how she's connected to a bank robbery in 1950s Sydney, you'll have to listen! Jo also tells us about the time an altercation with a woman who could be The Queen still keeps her awake at night, and the team also solve a listener mystery which proves that there's always an 'evil' twin.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The virtual fun continues this week, as the team welcome comedian and unreliable witness, Jo Caulfield to help solve a historical crime from the archives.Jo proves she's no stranger to getting justice served to those who do wrong, but she may have inadvertently had Danny DeVito arrested by mistake...But her knowledge of the inner workings of the church prove invaluable in this week's story of self-appointed sainthood and psychopathy... so just a normal day in lock-down for our swigging detectives. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In today's episode, Catie, Hannah and Taylor welcome a very special detective to the force, who turned up in her dressing gown, notebook in hand and rocked the investigation - it's presenter and author, Fern Britton! As well as having the grey matter to solve the case and proving time and again that she's a step ahead of the game, she also spills the beans about the time she was duped by tricksters LIVE on TV! We then get to investigate a crime with a myriad of suspects - all from the same tight-knit family, which also includes some dubious medical advice .... should you be prescribed whisky for a liver complaint? Unless you're taking notes a la Fern, you're not taking this seriously enough! The gang also make light work of cracking this week's listener crime ...who says alcohol dulls the senses Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 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.

Just 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.

In 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.

The 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.

This 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.

Coming 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.

It'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.

In 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!

Hello 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.

You 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.

Back 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... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The 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.

The 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.

In 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.

This 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.

The 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.

Joining 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.

In 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!

The 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.

The 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.

The 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.

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!
