You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. Mama Mea acknowledges the traditional owners of land and worts. This podcast was recorded on Hi everyone, Jemma Bath here, host of True Crime Conversations, coming to you from maternity leave. I had a baby, and while I was supposed to be recording this message to you all from the studio while still at work, my little girl decided to come five weeks early, and so here I am coming to you from my
house in my absence. The show is going to be in the fabulous hands of my friend and colleague, Claire Murphy, the host of our new women's health podcast. Well, Hi, Claire, thank you so much for our filling in for me early.
Jemma Bath, your child's arrival could not have come at a more inconvenient moment. But I'm very, very glad to be stepping into your shoes because we all know how much I bloody love True Chrime Conversations, one of my favorite podcasts in the world, So thank you for letting me handle it while you're away.
My absolute pleasure and my absolute apology from me and my daughter for making you start a whole month earlier than planned. Yeah to all the listeners you will have heard Claire Murphy on the show before. She covered for me during some of my first maternity leaves. She's covered the Crimes of Lucy let be which was one of our most downloaded episodes to date, The Butcher of Begat's
name a few. She's an absolute pro and as she just told you, well, she's a huge fan of crime and interviewing and all things.
TCC I am. And as much as yes, we are a whole month ahead of time, the beauty of knowing that you're going on maternity leave is that you, Jemma Bath, had laid some very good plans and you and our producer Tarlie had put in a ton of work to try and make my life easier. Sit down and do a bunch of conversations already, So you're not going to disappear entirely from true crime conversations. There's still a few of these great conversations that you've had with people to come.
And then I will slowly take over as Jemma hangs out with her gorgeous new little very early, very impatient arrival.
Yeah, so you'll hear me sprinkled throughout the year, and then I will be back in twenty twenty six, and I will not be having any more babies, especially early.
Are you sure you're too and done too and.
Done too and done, I'm too and done good to know so. Thank you so so much, Claire, and I'll speak to all the listeners soon.
Good luck on maternity leave, friend.
Thank you,
