Just before Christmas 2020, Taylor, Hannah & Catie got all dressed-up and had somewhere to go! Yes, the team headed to the (beautiful) Clapham Grand theatre in London to do one of their amazing sell-out live shows ... unfortunately at the last minute it was apparent that this would not be able to take place - but the show MUST go on and so it did in the form of a glorious live stream! Yes, The Drunk Women were delighted to still be able to go ahead with the show and that so many people turne...

The Drunk Women are BACK for a brand new year and if you're attempting dry January (this is released January 2021, so unlikely too many of you are), then live your drinking life vicariously through Hannah, Taylor, Catie and this week's guest Laura Hayden, who happens to host a drinking based podcast of her own called 'Whisky Women', which means she's more than qualified to join-in with the wine fuelled mayhem! Laura has a crime at the ready to kick things off where we learn that dogs can be just...

Christmas is going to be a little different for us all this year, but there's one thing we can all rely on - some festive cheer from our favourite true-crime tipplers! Taylor, Hannah and Catie took some time before their live stream show at The Clapham Grand in mid December 2020 to record this Christmas message - which let's face is guaranteed a few more laughs than The Queen's speech will have - no disrespect to Her Majesty, who would be a very welcome guest on the show.... But whilst we wait f...

When it comes to drunken, true-crime solving, you can't keep a good woman down - something we already knew in regards to hosts, Catie, Hannah and Taylor, but we also now know to be true of comedian Sarah Barron, who agreed to join-in with the semi-sloshed sleuthing for today's episode. Sara started-off with a warning for any new parents, that the sheer exhaustion of a new baby can invite crime into your life (that and having a word doc named 'passwords' on the desktop of your laptop). The crew t...

In this episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, the wine flowed freely as the team welcomed writer, actor and producer Natasha Vasandani to the force and let their little grey cells run all-over a case which just goes to prove that not every granny likes to knit for a hobby! Natasha kicks the whole thing off as she seeks closure for a wrongdoing at primary school (which depressingly wasn't all that long ago) and also highlights that some words will have a VERY different meaning on either side of t...

And the girls are back in town! As we reach into December 2020, the Drunk Women once again welcome back the regular all female line-up and joining them to solve some crime and get tipsy is actor Kellie Shirley, who starts-off by giving us all a cautionary tale of trying too hard to impress a prospective love interest. The team then pour a large one before poring over a case which although had the doctors of the time perplexed, is one our gals can see straight through - some pretty impressive (an...

As this year's 'Men's Month' draws to a close, who better to usher it out than the fantastic comedian, presenter and trainer enthusiast; Romesh Ranganathan! Romesh brings with him a tale of a crime which has probably marred what should be a pretty great memory, but at least he can take comfort in his enviable sartorial style ... probably. The team then get their bottle caps off, whilst putting their thinking caps on to try and get to the bottom of a case with more than a few twists (of lime), wh...

It's the penultimate episode of Men's Month 2020, so Catie, Hannah and Taylor decided the time had come to unleash the super-sleuthing skills of the one and only, comedian, writer and podcast king - Mr Adam Buxton! If you're in need of some fun and frivolity (and let's face it, you probably are), then look no further than this episode, which features stories from some of Adam's many bike related crime stories, which may (or may not) involve Mark Zukerberg and a listener's fridge based mystery - ...

As Men's Month continues through lockdown part 2 - what better way to spend it than in the company of comedian, presenter and author, Tom Allen! The team welcome Tom with open arms and provide some much needed trauma counselling for a wrong he has lived with since his school days - if the perpetrator happens to be listening to this episode, they will surely feel thoroughly ashamed of themselves! We then hear about a case in which it's more likely you'll know the musical it's based on, rather tha...

At the time of release for this episode, it's November 2020, which can only mean one thing ... THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! Yes, Hannah, Taylor & Catie decided to give the men of the comedy world a well-earned leg-up, by allowing four of them on the show throughout the month - in honour of International Men's Day on November 19th.

The Drunk Women are here again, bringing you another night-out in your ears, with the help of screen writer, Lisa Holdsworth. It would appear that the burglars in Lisa's neighbourhood treat robbing her as an annual event - although it's not without some help from Lisa herself. The group then put their heads together to join-up the dots in a case which, despite being steeped in prejudice of the worst kind, would surely make an Oscar winning film. Then, cherished listener Lisa provides a crime whi...

The women are drunk, there's an historical true crime that needs solving and for the 112th time, the two things are in the same place, at the same time - yes, our sozzled detectives are back and joining them with her own special brand of sleuthing smarts, is author, comedian and soon to be pop sensation, Ariane Sherine! Ariane starts off proceedings by recounting a crime, which could have lead to life-long happiness, but instead just gave some intel into how some law enforcers behaviour is less ...

Today’s episode of DWSC welcomes comedian and poet Sarah Callaghan to the force, who brought with her a tale of criminal woe which was triggering for The Drunk Women, as it would appear that old people aren’t always as sweet as they may appear. Our super-sleuths then learn about a particularly strange trend in law enforcement which causes Catie to reach the top tier of incredulity and quite rightly so! This week’s listener crime is a cautionary tale which many people during lockdown would have u...

The Drunk Women are back, helping to make your Wednesdays go with a bang and today bringing some explosive energy of her own is comedian, actor & podcaster, Samantha Baines! Our guest detective gets things going by recounting the many times she's been the victim of a crime - one of them at the hands of her own mother, the evidence of which will still exist. The team then pool their resources to solve a case which although gruesome, fascinatingly changed the way murders were tried forever as ...

In this week's edition of DWSC Taylor displays some enviably relaxed hosting skills, whilst presenting a fascinating case which 'poses' countless questions, as well as making us realise that behind every nude statue is a great woman. The gang are also joined by the awesome podcaster, animator and very able detective, Poppy Hillstead, who tells us about the time she was present for the kind of crime that, although baffling to comprehend, can only be witnessed by someone who has made the leap to t...

Just like moths to a flame, you can’t keep the Drunk Women away from a bottle of fizz, or a crime that needs solving, and joining them to bump their head into that beautiful light, is comedian, podcaster and absolute trooper, Sarah Keyworth. Things get-off to a showbizzy start, when Sarah recounts a crime which *could* have been the result of mistaken identity, or due to Mariah Carey living a far more unassuming life than we give her credit for. The gang then hunker-down to a case which I think ...

It's time for another hit of drunken true crime solving, and joining in the pie-eyed sleuthing this week is podcaster, journalist & presenter Jackie Adedeji! Before digging into this week's case, Jackie reveals that thanks to a momentary lapse in concentration, someone out there could be running around with her identity! But as this episode proves, there is only ONE Jackie Adedeji with the detective skills to navigate the twists and turns of a complicated heist...and decide which kind of foo...

The Drunk Women are back with another set of mysterious circumstances to sift through, this week they are aided and abetted by the hilarious comedian and writer Joanne McNally. Joanne reaccounts a crime which will chime with many of your lock-down experiences and is also a lesson in reading the reviews ... if only for comedy value. The gang then circumnavigate their way through the twists and turns of a confidence trickster - who obviously had the stuff in abundance! Then, we hear from a listene...

The Drunk Women are here again, solving crime and drinking wine so you don't have to ... although who wouldn't want to do those things? Well, this week's guest Athena Kugblenu was certainly keen to get involved and crack a case which is a joy-ride from start-to-finish, and comes courtesy of cherished listeners Becky and Tom in Paris. Athena herself has an interesting crime theme running through her life, which you could argue is somewhat self inflicted - although also a good argument for avoidin...

This week's episode was recorded during a heatwave in the UK (for those of you overseas, yes they DO sometimes occur), so the crime isn't the only cold case the gang crack open for our listening pleasure. Although this week's guest detective, writer Christina Martin, snubbed a cold beer from the fridge in favour of a beverage which couldn't be less suited to sticky temperatures - how did that work out? You'll have to listen to find out. Christina kicks things off for us with the story of a car, ...

How solved is your crime? Well, thanks to former MI6 employee / journalist / cleaning guru, Aggie MacKenzie, today's story gets a thorough rinsing. Yes, many of you will be familiar with Aggie for her TV show, 'How Clean Is Your House?', but were you aware that she spent some time working for the secret service? Listen to the episode to find out more about that AND our guest's crimes, which just go to show that some criminal situations could have only happened in the 1960s. The team then dig in ...

In this week's episode, the Drunk Women welcome a guest who has ALL the smarts to be a top detective; it's writer, comedian and podcaster, Viv Groskop! Although Viv doesn't hail from the big city, she grew up having to keep her wits about her on the mean streets of Somerset in order to provide key statements to the local police - as you will hear. These foundation skills enable Viv to ask all the right questions and get to the nub of it all... whilst the others do what they do best... basically ...

Yes, that's right, Taylor, Catie and Hannah have gotten drunk at least ONE HUNDRED times (there were a few practice runs), all in the name of solving crime.... well, mostly in the name of solving crime. The gang have had some exemplary company along the way and this week their 100th guest-sleuth is none other than film star, talk show host & documentary maker - Ricki Lake! Ricki shows dedication to the force by indulging in some day-time drinking on account of appearing from a different time...

Hooray, the Drunk Women continue to entertain themselves AND us through these socially distant times by welcoming a guest to help solve a crime, whilst getting responsibly sozzled! In today's episode, the gang are joined by comedian Esther Manito, whose suspicion of children on the crime scene could have been a direct result of her younger years... although we're not sure Oliver Twist would have walked backwards into the cinema... She proves invaluable however in today's main case which seems to...

In this week's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, the gang dissect (!) the story of someone who wasn't actually breaking any laws at the time, but whose practices would certainly raise a few eyebrows if attempted today .. in more ways than one. It's a gripping tale, but probably not the best accompaniment to a plate of spaghetti - unless you happen to be this week's guest, comedy writer, Christine Robertson - who relished in her role as amature sleuth. Christine starts proceedings by sharing ...

Well, this week's episode of DWSC sees our sloshed sleuths welcome their very own Watson in the form of (non-drunken) Doctor Nidhi Gupta to the force.

In this week's episode, the team go stateside for their latest recruit: comedian Fortune Feimster!. Fortune brings some serious insight to a crime which would have lesser detectives well and truly stumped. The gang discuss the different ways a crime can be committed in a plane, how long it's acceptable to hide in the toilets to get a break from your kids, and how many typists is acceptable to have with you whilst travelling. Fortune shares a crime which most people wouldn't be a victim of after ...

It's another day in lockdown, but that's not gonna stop The Drunk Women from smashing a case, whilst getting smashed over Zoom. Joining them this week is bestselling author Jane Fallon, who despite not showing early promise as a reliable witness, certainly went on to prove her sleuthing-smarts, as she provides the kind of observations worthy of someone at the top of the force. This week's case involves a 'power couple' of crime and although Jane wouldn't notice them actually committing a felony,...
