Drunk Women Solving Crime

In the first of two live episodes recorded at St James in Guernsey with the wonderful Dawn O' Porter, we find out just what a self-starting detective Dawn is, as she shares a story about the time she donned her croissant daubed Mac to hunt a stolen phone.

The team then turn to some locally based crime, investigating the last witch trial on Guernsey, and it's as rich as their butter.

We then hear from an audience member (Hi Maisie) about the time they thwarted a crime while it was in full swing!

From January 2025, DWSC goes TWICE weekly!

Episodes will be on general release every Wednesday AND Friday.

Last month the DWSC team hot footed it over to our friends at St James in Guernsey for two sell out shows featuring the amazing Dawn O' Porter!

As well as recording two episodes of Drunk Women Solving Crime, Taylor and Hannah also interviewed Dawn about her brilliant new book, Honeybee, which is available to buy now.

As you'll hear, the book is set on the beautiful island of Guernsey, where Dawn grew up, and she tell us why it was important to set the story on home turf, and how that shaped the narrative.

We also learn what a party bus is (where do we sign up?) and as well as taking questions from the audience, Dawn and our hosts also deal with a stage invasion which has unbelievable parallels with the book!

It's the return of Felicity Ward, and at least two things have happened to her since we saw her last:

1) Another crime happened 2) she's acquired a detective name, so welcome back to the force Detective Dirtbag! 

Felicity knew the drill and so, came armed with a crime story to kick things off with, which happens to have some incredibly tenuous connections to the festive season. 

The gang then pool their resources to solve a case involving one of the biggest musical acts the world has known, who knows if they actually solved it, but at least they did it their way. 

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 fiddle around with this week's case to find a satisfactory conclusion. 

Plus, this week's listener crime is as spicy as it gets!

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 home...
