Drunk Women Solving Crime

Today's ep takes on a very Scandi feel, as our guest detective hot foots it from the Shetland Isles with tales of local ne'er do wells and fishy goings on, begging the question as to why no TV crime drama has been set there yet?  The gang then find their sea legs to get to the bottom of a story set on the high seas, before helping one lucky listener solve the mystery of a lost, or stolen obje...

It was obvious from the very start that this ep's guest, fellow podcaster and presenter Clair Buckley, would be a dab hand when it comes to solving crime - and what a delight it was to have her crack open the lager, as well as help crack a case that happened on live TV no less. Clair also shared a very personal crime story, which proves that fast food is bad for your health, as well...

Today, hilarious comedian Freya Mallard joins the force, not only to help get to the bottom of one of the FBI's biggest ever stings, but also to get some closure for the time her teacher didn't appreciate Freya's truth telling ways and decided public shaming was the way to treat this candid kid. And we decide once and for all if cops make good cheerleaders or are they in fact to blame fo...
