Introducing… Toil and Trouble

When 80-year-old Alfred Douglas invites a near stranger to stay, his family thinks nothing of it. Alfred is a world-renowned expert in tarot and his students often visit his extensive library at his home in Rye. This is how he learned from his teacher and why now he runs a magic school - the Order of the Morning Star. When the pandemic hits, Alfred and his guest, Maura, provide each other with much-needed companionship. But when it’s all over, things change. To Alfred’s family, it seems Maura’s interest in magic is becoming less about knowledge, and more about power. As Alfred is slowly isolated from everyone he knows, the family can only watch on - do they have any right to intervene? Fearing for Alfred’s safety they start to keep a diary of what is happening to him. They’re right to be concerned, Alfred is in danger. Taylor Glenn and Hannah George, hosts of the podcast Drunk Women Solving Crime, explore a true story of magic, control and fear…that all ends up in court.

Liverpool FC Victory Parade Car Attack: Paul Doyle Pleads Guilty

A moment of celebration on May 26, 2025, turned into a scene of chaos, and now Paul Doyle - the man behind the Liverpool FC victory parade car assault - has finally pleaded guilty. In this episode, we break down exactly what happened that day, why more than 130 people were injured as Doyle’s car ploughed into the crowds, and what his guilty plea means for the victims, the city of Liverpool, and the upcoming sentencing. We also look at Justice Secretary David Lammy’s proposal to scrap juries for anything other than the most “serious” crimes, the rise in road-rage incidents across the UK, and the growing reality that footage of terror attacks reaches social media within minutes, forcing survivors to relive traumatic events through viral clips.
