Happy New Year from Betty and Stevie at Speak Up Sunderland!
Together we chat festive memories, play a stupid game, and tell you all about a couple of new projects we're launching next year:
- A special first listen to a supercut of our first "Ball's Deep" - where we put Betty through her paces - challenging her with intense experiences & awkward situations in the area. Whether that's with hard-as nails-fitness instructors, getting her art on & drawing naked people, or whatever you can think of.
- "An Elephant Never Forgets" - a new series documenting aural histories of the Frank Caws Elephant Tea Rooms building in Sunderland. It's a project we're working on in partnership with Living History North East, and the Sunderland Libraries.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
