Episode 7 feels like a good time to introduce some puns to the podcast!

Did you know that there was a seedy 'udder' belly of cheese crimes? Well I've got some 'gouda' new for you, this episode we are covering 2 cases of large scale cheese heists! One from New Zealand and one from England. Who knew cheese crime was so widespread!

And there are no trigger warnings this episode (except possibly puns) so I hope everyone has a good time!

Find us on Instagram and Tik Tok - search for 'Crime Time With My Bestie' for teasers of upcoming episodes and lots of silly reels that we attempt to make! Including one where Jess ends up pouring a glass of water on Anna!
