Sarah Morgan & A Merciless Bludgeoning

The studio was bursting at the seams during this recording, as Hannah and Taylor welcomed the stars of the 'Killers, Cults and Queens' podcast, Nikki and Cheryl, as well as a veritable posse of onlookers sitting at the side-lines. As Nikki and Cheryl are no strangers to crimey content, it's not surprising that they each came armed with stories of ne'er-do-wells infiltrating their own lives, which includes spectral beings and TV producers - so not too dissimilar. The gang then investigates a case in which Taylor displays a surprising amount of knowledge on the art of knife throwing, before delving into a listener crime which could be referred to as 'The Italian Job' , but on a slightly smaller scale.

The team then took a deep dive into some Sheffield based criminal activity from 100 years ago, before hearing from a member of the audience who took a leaf out of our guests book and told us two crime stories from their own life, one involving a very salty thief.Don't forget DWSC now drops TWICE weekly!
