Drunk Women Solving Crime
306 DWSC: It's Elementary, with Becky Holmes
Season 2, Ep. 306
•
Today's guest has all the credentials of a bona fide detective, as not only did she arrive with a pipe, magnifying glass and deer stalker, she also happens to be called Holmes!So, it's no wonder that author and romance fraud expert, Becky Holmes was able to crack more than one clue in today's spectral crime story, and perhaps having to identify a perp from a line up during her formative years helped plant the seed of a life spent stopping scammers in their tracks...whatever the reason, it's all elementary to her we're sure.

316 MEN'S MONTH: With Jonny Weldon
55:41|As we continue our procession through this year's Men's Month, Taylor and Hannah were delighted to welcome the fabulous actor, and online sensation, Jonny Weldon to the force - and were equally delighted with his medley of crime stories, which serve as an endorsement to his incredible work ethic. Not only did Jonny provide theatrics with his own tales, but he also managed to cast himself in today's case, so anyone thinking of making a film of the story, please consider this his audition. Plus, we hear from a listener, who would have taken a millennium if they had to build the Great Wall of China.

52:42||Season 2, Ep. 315What 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 podcast314. 314 Anna Morris and Her Ladies in Waiting
57:40||Season 2, Ep. 314This week we're joined by actor, comedian and playwright, Anna Morris, whose crime story enables her to display her inner Victorian lady, something that will leave any aspiring criminal quaking in their boots.The team then get involved in a story, which may be 500 years old, but illustrates just how little the monarchy has changed and that most of the current bunch would have been dispatched to The Tower without a second thought, but at least Anna can star in the film version!And to finish things off, a listener lets the cat out of the bag with a tear jerking tale from their childhood...

55:05||Season 2, Ep. 313In today's episode, Taylor and Hannah welcome comedian, writer, presenter and Touretteshero, Jess Thom to the force! Jess started things off by talking about the surreal world living with Tourette’s creates and tells us about a recurring crime that results in tedious life admin - surely the biggest crime of all! We then delve into a case that could sit comfortably in the Home Alone film franchises, and definitely doesn't involve Alan Hanson, or the death of Legoland, but does include a glowing leg. Plus, this week's listener crime sparks a conversation about the prevalence of goat sex online...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 podcast312 Bearing with Anna Richardson
52:03|This week, Taylor and Hannah are given the opportunity to fangirl at guest detective Anna Richardson, who as well as possessing enviable skills in crime solving, also fronts a show which the entire DWSC team holds in high esteem.But not only do we get to celebrate Anna's amazing career, she also shares a mind-blowing crime story, which would be deemed too far fetched if any writer tried to put it in a book or film, but unfortunately is an actual true crime, with consequences reaching far and wide. As for the main story today, although the protagonist certainly bears the brunt of this WW2 tale, they do so with the style and panache of the most sophisticated waistcoat wearer. Finally, the team managed to blow this week's listener crime WIDE OPEN … you’ll never trust an octogenarian again.

39:29||Season 2In this very special mash-up, Hannah and Taylor are joined by William and Jordan from hit podcast, Help I Sexted My Boss, to form a crime solving supergroup, and delve into a case which draws some uncanny parallels to certain members of the team.Then our Drunk Women turn agony aunts, as the guys share a few dilemmas, including the etiquette of ghosting and a vibrator mishap involving a neighbour's greenhouse.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!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 podcast311. 311 Leah Davis' Hangry Encounter
01:03:29||Season 2, Ep. 311Today the Drunk Women earned the title a little bit more, as this week's guest - the hilarious comedian and presenter Leah Davis - came armed with a bottle of prosecco, putting all past guests to shame and launching the concept of the BYO Guest! As well as making the party go with a swing, Leah also told us about the time she had to deal with a potential con artist, while feeling hangry, when it's obviously much better to avoid criminal activity with a full stomach.The team then sips along to a case where the perp may have been hot but wasn't referred to as 'a little shit' for nothing…And this week's listener crime is a bit of a pig's ear, but nothing we wouldn't have been tempted to do ourselves once upon a time!

54:37||Season 2, Ep. 310Today's episode of DWSC is a delight in so many ways, the main reason being our guest detective, writer, actor and comedian, Susan Harrison, who comes armed with a neat trick to deal with a criminal who may have mistaken you for a child, and just as much of an understanding of numbers as Taylor and Hannah. **We then hear about a woman who, if born in a different time, would have been either doing the sums on Countdown, or in charge of ALL the banks - either way, it's a huge loss to the current era. Then, this week's listener crime poses far too many questions about what can (and should) fit up one's butt, and why some people take their love of Marmite to a whole new level. **Maths is impossible.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!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 podcast309. 309 Crime Adjacent, with Lindsay Sharman
52:56||Season 2, Ep. 309We're back on our Patreon live zoom for this episode, and joining in the fun and frolics is writer and podcaster, Lindsay Sharman, whose own life of crime displays more of a wrong place at the wrong time vibe than clear intent, but has landed her in just as much hot water, so it's no surprise that the bad company she keeps means she has a keen eye for getting to the root of criminal behaviour. Today's story is one of audacious proportions, but with a pleasing array of bungling perps, who might not have picked the best vocation in life but were trailblazers in their own right. And our listener crime is a lesson that to underestimate the elderly, you do so at your peril. Plus, we learn that although times change, boobs never depreciate in value, so there is that...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!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
