Episode description

Take a dive with us into the vault - we're bringing you two of our favourite and wild stories from our live tour era.

First, Rosie reveals the "sensual" relationship between a 23-year-old woman named Mary and a dolphin named Peter. And then Jacob takes us on a journey with the tale of bad ass nuns; after the church all but abandoned them they sold their convent, and all the priceless artefacts within, bought a castle, and lived the highlife they'd never had. But the story doesn't end there. 

We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's this:
