•
This episode comes to you hot off the press following the Drunk Women Solving Crime Live show at The Underbelly Festival in London!
Taylor, Hannah and Catie loved being back in front of such a fantastic audience AND being joined by a brilliant guest in the form of comedian Sharon Wanjohi!
Sharon has a story from her childhood, which although she had no specific connection with, her father seized the opportunity to turn into a lesson in staying the right side of the law.... but did it work?
The team then soar to new heights to solve a case which also yields some interesting business propositions for any investors listening and then to round things off, we hear from a member of the audience whose supernatural dilemma is a nail-biting ride for us all!

272. 272 MEN'S MONTH: With Kuan-Wen Huang
01:09:11It's the last of our 'five guys of 23' as Men's Month draws to a close for another year and completing the stellar line up is the incredible comedian Kuan-Wen Huang, who for the first time in DWSC history brought along a side kick, who also happened to be a victim in his crime story, his bear Nounours!Kuan- Wen tells us about the time a would be kidnapper tried to abduct Nounours, but got more than he reckoned for and will probably never again decide he can pick on someone by appearances alone.The team then pick apart the life and times of someone the word 'eccentric' was probably invented for, proving the point that some people just have too much money, and will do anything to get their hands on even more. We finally hear from a listener who can't stress enough how much they spend on vanilla, or that they suspect a ghost of being a thief in their household.Thanks to all our wonderful Men's Month guests of 2023, it's lovely to give them all their big breaks … until next year!!The Drunk Women are returning to their London residency at 21Soho in 2024!

53:37Men's Month hits national treasure status this week, as the team were thrilled when actor, comedian, presenter and expert in accents, Les Dennis agreed to come round to Hannah's flat to drink some Malbec and solve a crime, and it turns out, he’s a natural! Les sifted through his top ten of criminal experiences to share with us the time his skills as a performer saved him from a violent encounter, and even managed to ultimately enlist the help of his would-be attackers in finding some lost property. We then hear about a crime, which if it hadn't happened, would make the perfect case for Inspector Clouseau, and a natural accompaniment for Les' Malbec … although we definitely recommend giving the holy grail a rinse out before you pour any wine in. Finally, the team solves a listener crime in which we discover that most cats are either psychic, have IBS, or both! The Drunk Women are returning to their London residency at 21Soho in 2024!

51:23We're smack bang in the middle of Men's Month 2023 and this edition is a walk down memory lane, when our Drunk Women took the show to a sell-out crowd at the Edinburgh Fringe, only for poor Hannah to be struck down by the dreaded Covid and so, was forced to head home.But, in her place we recruited the finest sub detective in all the land in the form of actor, comedian and super sleuth, Ruth Bratt! By this time, Ruth was very at home in her role on the force and it didn't take this week's guest too long to get to grips with the ways of Taylor and Catie either, as comedian Christopher Hall lit up the stage and got stuck right in with the drinking and solving. Chris started off the show by recounting a time of teenaged rebellion which ultimately cost him a career as a clarinettist and proves he probably couldn't make it as a wrestler. The team then solve a crime which proves that murder is more of a crowd pleaser than the royal family, and a ‘mum look’ can scare the bejesus out of the most hardened criminal. We then hear from a member of the audience with a cautionary tale should you be confronted with someone trained in the way of the samurai.

48:32Men's Month continues a pace and today is a throwback to the heady days of Edinburgh Fringe 2023, when comedian, broadcaster and former barrister, Clive Anderson threw caution to the wind and joined Taylor, Catie and Hannah on stage, impressing the sell out crowd with his phone's umbilical cord as well as the ability to solve crimes.Clive started off the night with a tale from his 'wild' student days - thank goodness he didn't go down the wrong path all those years ago!The whole team then solve a mystery which had police scratching their heads at the time, but then again, they didn't have Clive Anderson on the force.Finally, a member of the audience leapt up on stage to share a story where the crime could be the theft of a night out!

58:42It comes around faster and faster every year, doesn't it? Yes, Men's Month is here again and what a way to kick things off, as we welcome the star of hip hop, podcasting and a whole lot more besides, Scroobius Pip! As this was recorded over Zoom, we invited our wonderful Patreons to watch the spectacle, and boy what a sight it was to behold, as Pip, started things off with a duo of crimes that gives us an insight into his incredible taste in art and negotiation skills. We then get to hear about a crime from the past which beggars many questions, including the debate about cows and horses’ ability to bend their knees in both directions. We then hear from one of the watching Patreons about the demise of a local establishment and if having a sticky floor is ever acceptable!

55:15In this week's episode, the team are back in Hannah's flat to guzzle some vino and solve some crimes!Joining them in these pursuits is the hilarious comedian and reluctant cat whisperer, Kate Barron, who kicks it all off with a crime featuring a cracking set of characters - not all of them human.The team then makes mincemeat of a story crazy enough to really make a song and dance about.And finally, we hear from a listener who might have had one or two Scooby snacks before writing in... they would have managed it too, if it weren't for those pesky Drunk Women!266. 266 Horsin' Around, with Kate Weston
54:08In today's episode our guest isn't only a published author, but Kate Weston also joined us on book publication day itself because she was DYING to help solve a crime which is already an odds-on favourite. Kate kicked it all off with a duo of criminal stories that prove words can be the worst weapon of all, before Hannah trotted out a fantastic story for the gang to get their teeth into. Finally, we hear from a listener who is keen to turn the tables on the perpetrator of the most generous burglary on record!Kate's brilliant book is available now - Murder on a School Night: The best funny new YA crime thriller of 2023! : Weston, Kate: Amazon.co.uk: BooksSupport DWSC on Patreon for as little as £3 a month, you will have access to add free episodes, shout outs and the opportunity to watch live Zoom recordings - Drunk Women Solving Crime | creating Podcasts | Patreon265. 265 Sirens a Blazing, with Lisa Greenwood
01:00:47In today's episode, the gang assembled in the hottest room available in London to restore justice and solve some crimes.They weren't sweating it out alone though, as they were joined by actor and writer Lisa Greenwood, who proved to be hot stuff in the detective department.Lisa reveals a web of criminal activity she's been exposed to and can possibly never go to Romford again and should definitely be accompanied if attempting to visit the Kent coast, so she doesn’t get the wrong train and end-up behind bars instead... which is feasible. The team then join forces to solve a misdemeanour from days of yore...whenever that was, Dickens may or may not have been there, but that's not important to the story. We then have a listener tale, which brings streams of pleasure to the group when they manage to solve it - once and for all.

01:19:56The team at Drunk Women Solving Crime LOVE a mash-up, and this week's episode is a mash made in heaven, as we join forces with Chris, Helen, and James from the wonderful Empire Film Podcast to bring you, DRUNK WOMEN EMPIRE!Luckily the London Podcast Festival was able to provide a stage big enough for six members of the force to solve a film-based crime, and it was a natural meeting of minds, as not only can the Drunk Women and Empire teams combine incredible sleuthing skills with encyclopaedic film knowledge, but each podcast boasts an inhouse impressionist. Regular listeners to DWSC will be familiar with the format, although there are a couple of twists - for which we won't give any spoilers - but as always, we hear from the audience who have their own crimes that need solving, one of which could see us all in court as accessories - how exciting! We hope you enjoy this merger as much as we enjoyed merging, if you do, why not give it a review?
