Dead Talk

This week we dive head first back into true crime with the bikini killer also known as The Serpent. This case has recently been told through the BBC series, ‘The Serpent’, as it follows the notorious serial killer who targeted over 12 people in Asia during the 1970s. Kika takes the reins in this episode detailing all the murders and just how this one man got away with it for so long. Turns out, charm and an equally psychotic girlfriend definitely helps.

Not everything is as simple as it seem... including Gypsy Rose. After years of being force fed aggressive medication, mental and physical abuse and being forced to live a lie which meant you had to be wheelchair bound pretending to have the mental age 10 years younger than you actually are - you would be pretty pissed huh? This episode we unpack not only the murder of Dee Dee Blanchard but the bizarre circumstances which led up to it. We butcher the term Munchausen Syndrome about 15 times and Lucy compares her getting appendix surgery to Gypsy Rose's life somehow... 

We'd also like to issue a trigger warning. This episode does mention things of a violent nature such as rape, murder and abuse (specific family abuse) so if that's something that might upset you or trigger you in anyway then feel free to skip this episode and we'll see you next week!

This episode we strip back and have a chit chat with Kika and Lucy discussing the plans for season 2 and our favourite conspiracy theories. With exciting things in the horizon for Dead Talk, kick back with your hosts as they catch up and get pumped for the new season ahead. 

When somebody says the spirit of their dead best friend is possessing their body at night to reveal who murdered them, what do you say? Oh, cool! This episode your hosts discuss the case of Teresita Basa and how her murderer was found by a series of sleep walking revelations from Teresita's spirit. There's a lot to cover in this episode, especially the bit about Ratatouille and how it is the best film ever made. This is not up for discussion.

We're back baby! After a 2 week hiatus, your favourite self-identified unprofessional true crime podcasters are back. We're back with a bang as this episode your hosts discuss the tale of Guinness World Record's claimed most prolific serial killer recorded in history. This savage killed over 600 young slaves in the most torturous ways and had a good time doing it. Lucy and Alex also reminisce on simpler times such as before we knew Will Young was gay and the very first time you watched Christopher Walken's performance in Hairspray. An experience I would personally kill my own family to relive.

This episode your hosts are drunk and opinionated! Which, to be honest, is exactly how they act most episodes. This week Lucy and Alex discuss the face of the Anti Death Penalty movement of the 1980's even featuring in TIME magazine. With each gin poured the conversation gets more heated and less comprehensible discussing the police system, the sustainability of the death penalty as a system and Alex becoming a crime scene photographer... Take a few shots with them and buckle in.

Arguably France's most brutal sisters in history, the tale of Christine and Lea Papin is a rollercoaster! This week Lucy and Alex get increasingly drunk while trying to manoeuvre through a story of incest, murder, nuns and some extremely French names, it's a mess. These two house maids had had enough of folding socks and washing floors and boy did they make it known. Make sure you've got a strong stomach and a drink to join in while your hosts tell this gruesome tale of one of the most notorious murder cases in France's history.

This week your hosts discuss the unsolved death of Cindy James. An elusive case that involves all the clues for a murder but without any clues of a murderer... So you're thinking, a murder where the killer hasn't been found? That's not rare, silly intern that Lucy and Alex can most definitely pay to write these episode descriptions! Well, to that I would say, but what if there was evidence pointing to the possibility that Cindy might have staged multiple attacks prior to her murder and even the death itself? Also, I don't get paid enough. Let us know what you think happened once you've listened to the episode!

As requested by a listener, this week Lucy and Alex cover the wild and tragic life of Mata Hari. A woman who brought exotic dance to the forefront of mainstream entertainment in the early 1900s by branding herself as a Hindu princess and advocate of embracing sexuality. She based her entire act around an ethnicity she didn't really have. Your hosts explore the tale of Mata Hari and whether this culturally appropriating sex symbol turn WWI spy for French Intelligence was guilty of exploiting a culture or victim to Europe's fascination with the 'exotic East' including Mata's dark features and tanned skin. More importantly, the name Catarina Ten Hooves is discussed as possibly the best alias ever and how Alex is now leader of the Glasgow young team.
