278 The Bones of Spying with Ava Glass

Season 1, Ep. 278
In today's episode, the gals are joined by the fantastic spy-crime writer, Ava Glass, who is behind the brilliant female lead spy books such as The Traitor, The Chase, and Alias Emma.These stories may (or may not?) have been inspired by her real-life encounters with female agents and the insight she gained while working with them.So, as well as finding out which Drunk Woman would make the best spy, Ava also shared a couple of crime stories from her own real life, one of which is proof of the lack of pockets in women's clothes makes us more vulnerable!The team then picks the bones of a true crime case from history, before hearing from a listener and DEFINITELY not making things worse for them.  We also get Taylor, Hannah and Catie's take on the brilliant new Sky series, True Detective: Night Country.True Detective: Night Country | Official Trailer (youtube.com) Tickets are now on sale for the DWSC London residency at their NEW VENUE of The Museum of Comedy - full details and tickets for March, April, May and June shows can be found here - Drunk Women Solving Crime - The UK's hit true crime comedy podcast

    It's the return of Felicity Ward, and at least two things have happened to her since we saw her last:1) Another crime happened 2) she's acquired a detective name, so welcome back to the force Detective Dirtbag! Felicity knew the drill and so, came armed with a crime story to kick things off with, which happens to have some incredibly tenuous connections to the festive season. The gang then pool their resources to solve a case involving one of the biggest musical acts the world has known, who knows if they actually solved it, but at least they did it their way. Felicity also helps us out by welcoming some new Patrons to the fold, as well as some Christmassy ones courtesy of Taylor - don't forget you can get involved too, sign up for as little as £3 a month for access to ad free eps / early eps / invites to our live zoom records AND videos of our studio records, just to go to Drunk Women Solving Crime | creating Podcasts | PatreonCome and see Taylor and Hannah LIVE at their Christmas show in Brighton, with special guests Laura Lexx and Zoe Lyons!Tickets are now on sale for their double header Christmas Show at The Brighton Komedia on 16th December 2024All details can be found here -Drunk Women Solving Crime - The UK's hit true crime comedy podcastAND Their London Residency is back at The Museum of Comedy in 2025!

    54:04||Season 2, Ep. 318
    And just as quickly as it began, it's time to say 'goodbye' to this year's Men's Month - and what a way to go - as the one and only, Chesney Hawkes proves he has many strings to his bow as this week’s fantastic guest. Not only does he share two cracking stories of criminal encounters from his own life, illustrating not even the most hardened criminal has the business acumen, or audacity, of the average teenage girl (specifically those from the 1990s), but he also helps Taylor and Hannah fiddle around with this week's case to find a satisfactory conclusion. Plus, this week's listener crime is as spicy as it gets!Check out our Patreon page, for invites to our live zoom records, shout outs, AD FREE and early access to eps and LOTS MORE!Come and see Taylor and Hannah LIVE at their Christmas show in Brighton, with special guests Laura Lexx and Zoe Lyons!Tickets are now on sale for their double header Christmas Show at The Brighton Komedia on 16th December 2024All details can be found here -Drunk Women Solving Crime - The UK's hit true crime comedy podcastAND Their London Residency is back at The Museum of Comedy in 2025!

    In the penultimate edition of this year's Men's Month, we're thrilled to be joined by the man of a million tangents, Jordan Stephens! Jordan (Rizzle) kicked us off with a story that proves that some of our most sentimental objects happen to be digital, and that Justin Timberlake owes us all some compensation. The team then gets their jaws into a crime, which may just give birth to a new superhero origin story, while this week's listener crime is replaced by something a little closer to home...Check out our Patreon page, for invites to our live zoom records, shout outs, AD FREE and early access to eps and LOTS MORE!Come and see Taylor and Hannah LIVE at their Christmas show in Brighton, with special guests Laura Lexx and Zoe Lyons!Tickets are now on sale for their double header Christmas Show at The Brighton Komedia on 16th December 2024All details can be found here -Drunk Women Solving Crime - The UK's hit true crime comedy podcast

    52:42||Season 2, Ep. 315
    What better way to launch this year's Men's Month than to release an episode recorded at our London Residency earlier this year, with none-other than the legendary Charlie Higson? The actor, writer and Fast Show alumni, started off proceedings by telling us about the time he was targeted by a gang, who were compulsive in their criminal activities, before helping Taylor and Hannah 'solve' a case in which a doctor more than ignored the Hippocratic oath and gives us an insight on what the bedside manner of Michael McIntyre would be like. Finally, a member of the audience allows us to debate on all the reasons why her house is so 'burglarable' ... answers on a postcard please!Check out our Patreon page, for invites to our live zoom records, shout outs, AD FREE and early access to eps and LOTS MORE!Come and see Taylor and Hannah LIVE at their Christmas show in Brighton, with special guests Laura Lexx and Zoe Lyons!Tickets are now on sale for their double header Christmas Show at The Brighton Komedia on 16th December 2024All details can be found here -Drunk Women Solving Crime - The UK's hit true crime comedy podcast
