Drunk Women Solving Crime

Today, we're joined by the hilarious comedy writer, Jenny Laville, who regaled us with tales of the criminal consequences of living by a school, which as it happens is not without its perks (especially if you like tennis). 

Then, the team strap in for take-off to New Jersey for today's case - where we also find out Taylor's own criminal past operating on the drunk buses.

Finally, we hear from a li...

It's the clash of the podcast titans, as Taylor and Hannah from Drunk Women Solving Crime and Helen and Catherine - otherwise known as the Trusty Hogs - join forces to mash up their two epic formats while bringing us all the chat you'll ever need (or want) about belly button health, before 'solving' a scam based true crime case, in which we find out if owning a cat is the best deterrent for this kind of criminal activity.

What a DAY we had at Drunk Women HQ, when not only did the fabulous presenter and DJ, Kate Lawler rock up, ready to solve a crime or two, but she brought her K9 accomplice, Shirley, who really found her voice during the recording - someone give that dog her own show! 

Before the team settled down to sort out what happened to a notorious socialite of the 1960s, Kate told us about a crime-addled trip to Spain just af...

In the second show of the latest DWSC London residency, not only do we find out what happened when Taylor and Hannah bust some moves, but the hilarious comedian Sarah Roberts proves that she is the youngest victim of criminal activity we’ve had on the show yet!

The gang then unpick a case, where the protagonists have a lot of skin in the game, and we hear a tale of thievery that proves you don’t have to be human to be o...

It all happened at the latest DWSC residency, where wonderous Abigoliah Schamaun returns to the force to kick things off and help solve a crime that is best served warm with a knife and fork. Before that though, Abigoliah told us about the time a criminal thoughtlessly took more than her bag – heaven knows she deserves more luck in the future.

And finally, we hear from an audience member whose story gives us all an educ...

Popping into DWSC towers today, we have the fantastic actor and host of the Theatre of Crime Podcast, Pearl Mackie, who shows us that melodramatics can go a long way in getting justice. 

Pearl then assists in the detective work of a case that sees the price some people will pay to carry out their friend's wishes.

Plus, in our listener crime, we hear about the misdeeds of some crafty criminal who sends our p...

Joining the force today is actor Helen George, so we have two detective Georges, but does this mean twice the crime solving skills?

Helen starts us off with a mystery story which saw life somewhat imitating art, to a potentially mind-bending level. 

The George / Glenn collective then set to work sorting a tawdry tale of the ultimate fashion victims.

And our listener crime shows t...

In the second part of the DWSC February residency, the hilarious Kyrah Gray popped in to tell us about some unlawful activity, which, thanks to the mums in audience - and Will Smith - might just get solved, watch this space!

The gang then see if they can shed any light on a poisoning from the past, before this episode's audience crime story from someone whose niece obviously knows a thing or two about the family's crimi...

The DWSC London residency is back, baby, and Freya Parker kicked things off in fine style, as our first live guest for '25! 

As always, guests are asked to share a crime story from their own lives, and Freya's story leads us into the unexpected debate of selling organs vs your passport, what a choice to have to make.

We then delve into the world of criminality with a protagonist who certainly took a gamble ...

Joining the team today is someone who despite an early start on the wrong side of the tracks, makes one hell of a detective.

As you'll hear from Jessie Cave's crime story, cheating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme can set your life on a path to destruction and mayhem. 

Thank goodness she learned the error of her ways, and what she lacks in wine knowledge, she makes up for in snooping ...

In this episode, the incredible Kath Hughes popped in to tell us about the time the fair came to town and the ne'er-do-wells that wreak havoc with the candy floss in its wake. 

The gang then decrypts a heist that Y2K could have severely messed up, if it had become a reality. And today's listener crime has us all scrabbling around for clues.

The London Residency is back at The Museum o...

In perhaps THE most long-awaited mash up in podcasting history, we finally get to see what happened when DWSC met the Ghost Huns, and it went pretty much as you'd expect with the wondrous creation of 'Drunk Huns Solving Ghosts'. 

Not only do our fearless foursome 'solve' a spooky crime case from the past, but we also delve into some stories of ghostly goings on, although nothing will strike fear into...

In today's episode, author Julia Tuffs popped in to tell us about the time a burglar made a very particular suggestion to deal with the stress of the crime, it's enough to send a shudder through the body.

We then get to the meat of a criminal story, even if we never fully understand if it's a hatchet job or not. 

Finally, in the listener crime we learn -thanks to Julia - that caravans and campervans a...

TW: In today's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, special guest Njambi McGrath talks about the effects the British occupation of Kenya had on her own family, and the country as a whole. There are themes of torture, violence against children, FGM and starvation.

Listener discretion is advised. 

As well as hearing Njambi's personal story, we also learn about a crime story invo...

A long-awaited day has finally arrived, as we finally welcome the Standard Issue Podcast's very own Jen Offord to the force. 

Although it took seven years, good things clearly come to those who wait, as Jen tells us a crime story that shows she has a nose for spotting a thief. 

The gang then hits a home run when they get to the bottom of a crime story set in a field&nbs...

Today's ep takes on a very Scandi feel, as our guest detective hot foots it from the Shetland Isles with tales of local ne'er do wells and fishy goings on, begging the question as to why no TV crime drama has been set there yet? 

The gang then find their sea legs to get to the bottom of a story set on the high seas, before helping one lucky listener solve the mystery of a lost, or stolen object - it's a case only the Drunk ...

It was obvious from the very start that this ep's guest, fellow podcaster and presenter Clair Buckley, would be a dab hand when it comes to solving crime - and what a delight it was to have her crack open the lager, as well as help crack a case that happened on live TV no less.

Clair also shared a very personal crime story, which proves that fast food is bad for your health, as well as being a magnet for any passing p...

In the second episode of the week, we welcome the hilarious Monica Gaga to the studio, as she seeks some explanations about a cybercrime where the perpetrator displayed a very ‘yes and' attitude, before helping Hannah and Taylor hit the sweet spot in solving this week's case. 

Plus, we hear from a listener who wants some help with a persistent thief who keeps hanging around. 

Today, we're joined by a real-life legal eagle and crime fighter who still manages to be a top glass comic, Davina Bentley - add the ESQ at your discretion. 

As you'll hear in Davina's own crime story, she's got serious sleuthing skills and she's not afraid to use them – and to ask questions later.

The team then looks at a case which takes us into the stratosphere, while also leaving us wondering i...
