Drunk Women Solving Crime

What a day it was at DWSC HQ, as not only were we joined by actor and writer of the detective series Karen Pirie*, Emer Kenny, but we also had a visit from fabulous listener (and competition winner) Margareta, who popped over from Sweden to get on the mic and share a mystery of one very slick intruder.

Before that though, Emer kicked things off by telling us about the time some suspicious 'substances...

It's the second drop of the week and part two of the latest DWSC live residency. Today the hilarious Matthew Crosby popped by to verify if any of his 'enemies' went out of their way to steal his car. 

Today's case then confirms that reunions are on the whole a very bad idea, often leading to murderous thoughts. 

And finally, we finally find out 'who let the dogs out', thanks to a member of the audience...

We're at the final DWSC residency of 2025, and are joined by the incredible, Blank Peng, who is arguably the busiest gal in comedy - and with very good reason.

Finally, we hear from an audience...

In this ep, the wonderful Robyn Perkins is here to share a story of how an overprotective mum's imagination resulted in police action.

Today, comedian Liz Guterbock popped in to tell us about the time a thief had clear aspirations to join the Dalston elite - and most likely had a beard - before helping to solve a bank heist which was far from a load of bologna.

The food based thievery then continues, as some 'event cheese' absconds from a communal fridge.

Time for another mash up and today, we're joined by Mike from hit True Crime Podcast 'Murder Mile' and together we are DRUNK MILE!

We start in a way familiar to us, with Mike telling us about the time he was the victim of a crime, then for the first time in DWSC history Hannah and Taylor have a crime story presented to them by the studio guest, as Mike opens a cold case from history which really has legs.

Today's episode should be called 'Return of the Petts', because seasoned detective Chloe Petts decided to pop into DWSC HQ once more to help us solve a crime or two. 

Luckily for us, our guest had another criminal act to report, and it's not that we once again made Chloe record with us during a heatwave. 

The team then talks about the role tap dancing can play in crime, and how to shut a circ...

We then hear about a case which for those involved really is the pits, while today's audience crime left some would be thieves fearing what may be...

Finally, a member of the audience s...

Another day, another crime to solve and to help us do just that is actor and comedian, Bebe Cave! Bebe joins us on possibly the most contrasted day of her life and hits the ground running by opening a tin and tonic and telling us about her involvement in possibly one of the most cursed houses in London. 

The team then 'crack' a murder case which drives them - and everyone involved – nuts, before helping a listener ...

Today, Hannah and Taylor are joined by podcaster and presenter Remel London, who came to DWSC HQ brimming with theories for a delicious sounding - if carb heavy - case of a legendary Victorian character who if alive today would be enjoying sell out runs at the Edinburgh Festival.* Remel also shares a story from her childhood in which her mother wasted no time in pointing the finger at a potential suspect, why let 'evidence...

In our second episode of the week, we're also joined by our second Kate, today it's the turn of comedian Kate Dolan to impart her crime solving skills to a case you wouldn't see on any magazine's agony aunt page.
