This week's episode is another brilliant show courtesy of the gang's sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and helping them along with the mayhem is guest Charlie George (no relation to Hannah). Charlie opens the show with a heart-breaking story of a summer's fun lost at the hands of a callous conman - it's a good thing she's such a good comedian and can make us all laugh about her tale of woe! The group then put their heads together to solve a cold case which upholds everything your mother told ...

In this week's episode, the packed Edinburgh Fringe audience were treated to the presence of hilarious comedian, YouTuber and crime fighter, Abi Clarke! It's very clear in the crime Abi shares at the start of the show, that she was born to do this podcast, and has probably invented a new crime-fighting character, it's so handy that she's already got the costume! The group then delves into a case which could be a truly victimless crime, at the very least one which produced its own merchandise and...

The Drunk Women Solving Crime Edinburgh Odyssey continues a-pace, and this episode is a real treasure trove of laughs, in large part thanks to an absolute gem of a guest, comedian Dee Allum!

Janey graces us all with her presence during the sell-out run and kicks things-off with a crime anecdote with an explosive beginning, middle and end.

The Drunk Women share the second episode of their 2022 sell-out Edinburgh run and are joined by another corker of a return guest, the legend that is, comedian Lucy Porter!

The gang then look into a case from history in which the lead character gets in a bit of a pickle, but do they end-up on the right track? L...

Can you believe that it's the 200th episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime? No, neither can Taylor, Hannah and Catie, who thought they'd be in rehab by now, but that just goes to show you what drinking responsibly can achieve...and what better way to celebrate this landmark than to invite historian and presenter Dr Janina Ramirez along for the ride? Janina begins the episode by showing a rather different side to herself than anyone familiar with her documentaries would have seen - and that's not t...

The Drunk Women are back in the studio* this week, and joining them is writer, actor and comedian, Brenda Gilhooly!

The team then pay homage to a young trailblazer of feminism and socialism.... sounds like a r...

It's the last London residency show of 2022 for the gals (don't worry, there's still lots of opportunities to see the gang live - details below) and they bow out in style in front of a sold-out crowd AND the wonderful comedian Suchandrika Chakrabarti as guest.

We then hear about a stor...

Welcome to this week's episode of Drunk Women Solving Crime, which welcomes journalist and broadcaster Samira Ahmed as a very able member of the force!

It's another DWSC residency show, where things got raucous and a smashing time was had by all, including this week's hilarious guest, comedian, and Mother Goose, Lucy Pearman! Lucy kicks things off with a childhood reverie of past love from afar, which resulted in a very eggy crime, possibly involving Ben Affleck. We then hear about a case, which comes in a variety of different parts, and shows the police might need to invest in better torches. Finally, as always round things off with an audienc...

Joining the Drunk Women for much merriment and mirth is the incredible actor, writer & podcaster, Rosalind Blessed! In what turns-out to be a very 'second record', we start by hearing from Rosalind about a crime for which she gives us the naked-facts and which also allows her to display a pretty good background in sleuthing - welcome to the force! The whole gang then looks at a case, which not only inspired one of the greatest stories in literature, but also one could argue (if you're Catie)...

This week on Drunk Women Solving Crime, the gang are joined by comedy producer and enthusiastic detective, Gina Lyons!

It's another rockin' DWSC London residency, and joining Taylor, Hannah & Catie in the mayhem is comedian, writer, and podcaster, Stevie Martin!

After an unplanned one week hiatus (see below for details), the team have burst back into podland to bring you this fun-filled afternoon spent with the brilliant author Beth Morrey! Before everyone knuckled down to solve a case which will have the gentrified inhabitants of a particular London borough wondering if this could affect their house prices, Beth recounted a time she barely noticed she was victim of a crime (although the story was particularly triggering for one member of the DWSC team,...

Normally today we would be putting out another cracking DWSC episode; unfortunately this week we will not be releasing an episode. This is because our dear producer Amanda came home this weekend to discover her flat had been burgled (I know, life imitating art, right?) Along with the devastation and sense of violation that brings, the intruder stole her laptop and all of her's jewellery, including this peacock brooch (pictured). It is a precious family heirloom, which Amanda's Great Grandfather ...

The Drunk Women are giddy to be welcoming this week's guest IRL, as they enter the studio for the first time in 2 years! Joining them for this momentous occasion is TV & Radio presenter Lauren Layfield, who told the team about the most expensive taxi fare in history, which left her feeling a bit of a 'Dong'. The team then pops some corks, whilst they look into a case, which was a rather sober affair on the outside, and also reveals that gang culture is really just an amped-up version of 'Mea...

The Drunk Women have gone INTERNATIONAL - yes, they crossed water in A PLANE to the beautiful island of Guernsey to record this show in front of a fantastic audience of Sarnians (you'll find out what that means as you listen to the ep), BUT this episode has 60% less sass than usual, as Catie was unable to join the team, thanks to a horribly times bought of Covid, so Taylor and Hannah have no one to keep them in check, apart from the amazing Angela Barnes, who also hopped across to do a fantastic...

This week's episode harks back to when Taylor and Hannah were holding the fort at their London residency as Catie recovered from Covid, but fear not sass-fans, as our very own detective sasshole makes an appearance to help solve a listener crime of Uber proportions in the final part of the pod! Joining Taylor and Hannah on stage though is the brilliant comedian Lily Phillips, whose day of encountering crime in The Big Apple was the true tourist experience the guidebooks don't tell you about. And...

The Drunk Women have done the unthinkable and invited a guy on the show when it's not even Men's Month, but that's OK because the man is the one and only Richard Herring! This is what happens when two great formats collide, but just HOW does true crime comedy mesh with the unmistakable sound of RHLSTP? Listen to find out, if Richard can match the detective skills of Catie, Hannah, and Taylor, which emergency questions will our trio be posed during this epic meeting of podcast royalty and if anyo...
