Episode 47: Gemma Barker and Robert Elmer Kleason
Emma and Lucy lend their usual dark comedy to the tales of Gemma Barker (don't google it first, you'll ruin it!) and Robert Elmer Kleason.

Episode 46: Dr William Palmer & Mark Hobson
This week there is some semblance of an episode in between Emma's worrying rants about the Unabomber. Please do not encourage her further.

Episode 40: George Psalmanazar & Mike Philpott
Technical issues mean that the tale of George Psalmanazar has been cut slightly short... Before his death, he went on to become a theological essayist and friend of Samuel Johnson (author of the flipping dictionary), but I'm sure you'll agree that none of that is as interesting as his life as an imposter. Lucy also discusses her research into the crimes of Mike Philpott, who was definitely one of Jeremy Kyle's worst guests... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....
