And just as quickly as it began, it's time to say 'goodbye' to this year's Men's Month - and what a way to go - as the one and only, Chesney Hawkes proves he has many strings to his bow as this week’s fantastic guest. Not only does he share two cracking stories of criminal encounters from his own life, illustrating not even the most hardened criminal has the business acumen, or audacity, of the average teenage girl (specifically those from the 1990s), but he also helps Taylor and Hannah...

In the penultimate edition of this year's Men's Month, we're thrilled to be joined by the man of a million tangents, Jordan Stephens! Jordan (Rizzle) kicked us off with a story that proves that some of our most sentimental objects happen to be digital, and that Justin Timberlake owes us all some compensation. The team then gets their jaws into a crime, which may just give birth to a new superhero origin story, while this week's listener crime is replaced by something a little closer to...

As we continue our procession through this year's Men's Month, Taylor and Hannah were delighted to welcome the fabulous actor, and online sensation, Jonny Weldon to the force - and were equally delighted with his medley of crime stories, which serve as an endorsement to his incredible work ethic. Not only did Jonny provide theatrics with his own tales, but he also managed to cast himself in today's case, so anyone thinking of making a film of the story, please consider this his...

What better way to launch this year's Men's Month than to release an episode recorded at our London Residency earlier this year, with none-other than the legendary Charlie Higson? The actor, writer and Fast Show alumni, started off proceedings by telling us about the time he was targeted by a gang, who were compulsive in their criminal activities, before helping Taylor and Hannah 'solve' a case in which a doctor more than ignored the Hippocratic oath and gives us an insight on what the...

This week we're joined by actor, comedian and playwright, Anna Morris, whose crime story enables her to display her inner Victorian lady, something that will leave any aspiring criminal quaking in their boots.The team then get involved in a story, which may be 500 years old, but illustrates just how little the monarchy has changed and that most of the current bunch would have been dispatched to The Tower without a second thought, but at least Anna can star in the film version!And to finish...

In today's episode, Taylor and Hannah welcome comedian, writer, presenter and Touretteshero, Jess Thom to the force! Jess started things off by talking about the surreal world living with Tourette’s creates and tells us about a recurring crime that results in tedious life admin - surely the biggest crime of all! We then delve into a case that could sit comfortably in the Home Alone film franchises, and definitely doesn't involve Alan Hanson, or the death of Legoland, but does include a...

This week, Taylor and Hannah are given the opportunity to fangirl at guest detective Anna Richardson, who as well as possessing enviable skills in crime solving, also fronts a show which the entire DWSC team holds in high esteem.But not only do we get to celebrate Anna's amazing career, she also shares a mind-blowing crime story, which would be deemed too far fetched if any writer tried to put it in a book or film, but unfortunately is an actual true crime, with consequences reaching far and...

Today the Drunk Women earned the title a little bit more, as this week's guest - the hilarious comedian and presenter Leah Davis - came armed with a bottle of prosecco, putting all past guests to shame and launching the concept of the BYO Guest! As well as making the party go with a swing, Leah also told us about the time she had to deal with a potential con artist, while feeling hangry, when it's obviously much better to avoid criminal activity with a full stomach.The team then sips along to...

Today's episode of DWSC is a delight in so many ways, the main reason being our guest detective, writer, actor and comedian, Susan Harrison, who comes armed with a neat trick to deal with a criminal who may have mistaken you for a child, and just as much of an understanding of numbers as Taylor and Hannah. **We then hear about a woman who, if born in a different time, would have been either doing the sums on Countdown, or in charge of ALL the banks - either way, it's a huge loss to the...

We're back on our Patreon live zoom for this episode, and joining in the fun and frolics is writer and podcaster, Lindsay Sharman, whose own life of crime displays more of a wrong place at the wrong time vibe than clear intent, but has landed her in just as much hot water, so it's no surprise that the bad company she keeps means she has a keen eye for getting to the root of criminal behaviour. Today's story is one of audacious proportions, but with a pleasing array of bungling perps, who...

In today's episode, we welcome the hilarious, Netherlands based comic, Michelle Collins to the force to help solve a case which features some of the most ridiculous names we've heard on the show - and regular listeners know that's going some! And, as we recorded this on a live zoom for our loyal patrons, if you want to see if Taylor really could resemble Aileen Wuornos, then you'll need to join up yourself and not miss out on watching the show from the comfort of your own home next...

In this week's episode, comedian Eleanor Tiernan brings us perhaps the biggest twist we've ever heard in any of our guest's crime stories!And for the first time ever, our main case required anyone involved in this recording to adhere to a blanket ban on reading up on a current news event, as we discover just WHY Robert Kennedy Jr decided to dispose of a dead bear in New York's Central Park... a tale even weirder than you could possibly imagine. We then uncover a school based mystery from a...

Today's guest has all the credentials of a bona fide detective, as not only did she arrive with a pipe, magnifying glass and deer stalker, she also happens to be called Holmes!So, it's no wonder that author and romance fraud expert, Becky Holmes was able to crack more than one clue in today's spectral crime story, and perhaps having to identify a perp from a line up during her formative years helped plant the seed of a life spent stopping scammers in their tracks...whatever the reason, it's...

This week's episode is a 'scoop' in a myriad of ways, as not only do we have the maverick that is Sam McAlister on the show, who as well as being behind an Emmy nominated Netflix film of that name, also gives us a first look into how she made sure justice was served after coming face to face with an audacious perpetrator. The gang then 'solve' a crime which did nothing to change Sam's opinion of Central Park, but does (worryingly?) illustrate just how adept she would be at body disposal...And...
