Life begins at (Episode) 40! Chat this week includes feeling our age, fighting with technology, how not to fall out of a tree & Ms Hattie McCap asks us about infamous cold cases. 

Stories include the disappearance of Moira Anderson; a case featuring an (arguably) bungled investigation and a confession kept secret for years. 

We then explore the dark meaning behind one of Scotland’s greatest songs, and why our mythical creatures won’t think twice about punching you. Rule #1: never cross a faerie.

Welcome to your flight: Episode 39: A-Cute Triangle

Mrs Hattie asks us who we would bring back to life to give us a concert for just us. We come up with 3 absolutely corkers. Who would you choose?

Hannah then takes us through a scandalous and mysterious non-love triangle of Effie Gray, John Ruskin and John Everett Millais.

The Chris tells us about the dark cloud the hovered over the head of the man behind the boy who would never grow up. 

Let’s concentrate on all things Episode 38. 

Chat includes mini-heatwaves & classic sleepover horror films, before Ms Hattie McCap asks us all about why we joined this wonderful podcast land. 

Then join us, fair friends, as we head down to Stratford-Upon-Avon to discuss all things Shakespeare. But did he really write those plays, and just whom are his sonnets declaring love for? 

Skipping over the pond we explore a New York-set Gothic story. Unexpected Scottish connections, phantoms and superstitions all pervade this tale. Heads will roll.

This little slice of heaven is episode 37! Out of the all villainous horror movie killers would you want to eternally steer clear of in life? This is one of life's tough questions that Hannah and Chris tackled on this day. 

Ding dong the witch is which witch? Hannah takes us back to the Pollock witches and the mysterious accuser; Janet Douglas. 

Then Chris takes us home with the freshly solved long-time cold case of Mary McLaughlin who was murdered in her flat where she lived alone. 

We’re lacking in rhymes, but here’s number 36 on sweet, sweet time. 

We have a whine about live sports again this week, before Ms Magical Hat asks us about lesser known Scottish facts. Unicorns, bar brawls and urine soaked wool all feature. 

Story times this week include a strange cold case from the Kingdom of Fife. No witnesses, no apparent motive, and cause of death an ancient martial arts move. Might you be the one to solve it? 

We’re then riding down to the village of Alloway to attend a Gothic gathering at the Auld Kirk, as we explore the classic Scots poem Tam O’Shanter.

Episode 35 has arrived, what a time to be alive.

What a week we've had! This episode has been whipped up just in time for you lovely lot.

First we ask ourselves which horror films we wouldn't bother giving a second watch. TW: controversial opinions.

Hannah talks us through some of the more gothic style choreograph stylings of Kenneth McMillan. He covered it all, smashed some boundaries and strayed from the ballet structure.

Chris then takes us for a swim around one of Edinburgh long lost lochs. Join us, the water's disgusting.

This week we start the ball rolling with a chat about our favourite buildings in Glasgow.

Chris then gives us the twists and turns of John Merritt and John Chesney. How might the two connect?

What shall it be, thirty-three?

Well this week it starts of a big spoooooky when we discuss what our first ever West End show experience was.

Hannah then takes us for a walk down the aisle to see how superstitious the Victorian couple at the end may well have been. More of the strange customs are still around to this day. Can you guess which those might be?

Thirty Two, watcha gonna do.

Story time takes us to the story of Mary Timney, the last woman hanged publicly in Scotland and the history and design of the stunning Glasgow University buildings. 

Let’s get it done, it’s Episode 31. 

Weekly nonsense chat includes Chris’ passionate argument as to why heat should stay in Hell and Hannah’s bank holiday weekend escapades. 

Ms Hattie McCap then asks us about true crime TV adaptations: sometimes actors can look a little uncomfortably too like their characters. 

Stories include the tale of Dr Joseph Bell and his remarkable gift for deduction. His legacy and influence lives on in more ways than one. Elementary, dear listener. And we hitch a ride on a gondola this week, as Chris guides us through the spooky tales from the streets of Venice. Bellissimo!
