    E374 A Big Queer Door and The Mulberry Bush of the Year

    It's episode 374 and are technical issues bringing us closer together? We're so sorry, YouTube Boozers and Shakers, for the lag (we edited the audio separately so you won't hear the same overlapping issues there). We're making up for it with a new Compliment Christine segment. This week Em takes us way, way back to the origins and dark side of nursery rhymes. Then Christine covers the more recent Polish case of Krystian Bala. And has Em just dubbed Christine the "Princess of Pronouns"? ...and that's why we drink!

    We wrote a second book! Pre-orders are open and super important for our ratings so treat yourself to our second spooky travel compendium, A Haunted Road Atlas: Next Stop here - http://bit.ly/HRANextStop

    Listener Stories: Vol. 90

    Welcome to April Ghouls: Two Boos and a Lie! This year for April Fool's Eva is bringing us some ghoulish energy and we're terrified. She has artisanally, hand selected two listener stories about "ladies in white", written a third herself and challenged Em and Christine to figure out which one is the imposter story. What impending foolishness! Can you pick the fake? ...and that's why we drink!

Binge listen

Came this way from Sinisterhood who are my original ride or die. Love Em and Christine’s banter and openness in talking about their mental health and chronic illnesses

Absolute hunz

Christine, Em, I love the show so much, it’s taken over my life (thanks ADHD). I’ve binged 2017-2021 in the last 3 weeks and can’t stop.

They tell their stories so well, always so interesting and well researched. True crime has my heart but Em holds a special place too with the paranormal.

My favourite show of all time!

Honestly, Em & Christine are my ride or die, absolute favourite podcast hosts. I love them more than my own friends 😂 They tell such compelling stories with the perfect mix of personality & pizzaz. If you like ghosts, crime, and all things spooky ooky - this is the place to be!
