making it fun

this is not a podcast to fall asleep to or to listen when there's a serious situation around, as they keep making me laugh. Making the events come to life with the random tangents that they go on. love it and please carry on

Great job

Really good podcast. Lots of cocktails and great stories. The tales of horrible murder and poisoning are well researched, sensitively told with humour and good entertainment.

Mary Queen of Scots

Fascinating story of the murders surrounding Mary. Her personal secretary murder was particularly gruesome and oh so public. Stabbed 57 times. Husband's explosive demise finally solved.
