Come down a rabbit hole with us and listen to the intriguing tale of the Rabbit Wars of St Andrews as told by Cheryl!  This story takes us all the way back to 1797 and includes no less than 900 rabbits and the selling of the famous St Andrews Golf Course.   Trigger warning - Rabbits will get hurt in this episode 

You might have guessed, but this is a slightly lighter episode than our recent episodes.   In the words of Cheryl 

"It's Downton Abbey with significantly more rabbits!"

We also talk about what makes a great true crime podcast. We'd also love to hear your thoughts on this, if you'd like to let us know what you look for.

And, we chat childhood traumas!

And of course, there's also a lot of golf talk.

This month, Marti is covering the Luna Park Ghost Train fire in Sydney in 1979, it's one we've wanted to cover for so long because it's not covered by many podcasts, and it's such a sad, interesting story with so many layers.. 

We also talk about theme park disasters and rollercoasters, Cheryl's disastrous note-taking in the dark, how we're such babies when it comes to scary shit and horror & childrens tv in the 80s - and yes we talk commercials again!

It's Cheryl's first story on the podcast, and she goes in hard, covering the horrible disappearance and death of Corrie McKeague in 2016 in Dunfermline, Scotland.

We also cover vintage commercials, what we've been watching ( as always! Some things never change! ), the history of Dunfermline, Pokémon adventures, the wrong pronunciation of words, in our opinion, and what was going on in the world in 2016.  Quite a big year as it turns out!

Thank you for your patience whilst we took a break and rejigged a little, and now we're back, and Cheryl is joining the Mums Mysteries & Murder team - this is our first episode together, and it's a cracker!

This is our live episode recorded at Cumbernauld Library as a part of their Killers & Coffee sessions with Dawn from Scottish Murders 

And we are covering the tragic case of the murder of Barry Oldham & Barry Wallace in December of 1999. 

Trigger warning for this episode: we do touch on decapitation, and if you're Scottish, you might not want to hear me pronounce so many Scottish names wrong!

Sources for this ep are: 
Sources - limbs in the loch - catching a killer - can be found on BBC I player 
Its one of the best true crime documentaries ive ever seen - it really focuses on the victims and the police team interviewed are so genuine and you can really feel how much this case meant to them and the whole community, they were really invested in finding justice 

We also talk about Christmas party fun that goes wrong, Christmas decorations from the 80s, the Millennium bug, Newcastle in the 80s and Greggs! 

There is also an amazing revelation at the end that we did NOT see coming. 

Huge thanks to Erin for editing this live episode.

We know so many of you have been intrigued by the Erin Patterson case in Australia and have been chatting with us about your thoughts, so when we approached Tam from True Crime Bookcase who attended the trial in Australia recently and is an Erin Patterson guru we were delighted she was up for chatting with us on the podcast. 

Tam runs the Instagram account True Crime Bookcase - If you love reading about True Crime, you need to start following her - we've gotten so many brilliant recommendations from her, and she will give you the honest truth - especially when it comes to Erin.   Go follow Tam at 

https://www.instagram.com/truecrimebookcase/

This is a fascinating episode that gives real and genuine insight into what it's like to sit inside a highly publicised trial and get the real story from someone who was there, and is happy to answer all of our questions.. 

We also talk about the true crime genre and how it's changed over the last ten years, ethics and Tik Tok, Australian cases Tam is obsessed with, true crime books that are totally overrated, and the plethora of Ted Bundy books out now. 

If you want to check out the podcast, Trace, as mentioned by Tam.  https://open.spotify.com/show/1ivHfQf6P5MkkYibN6QVWA?si=1866fff46fe94187

We can't wait to hear what you think about this episode, and a huge thank you to Tam for chatting with us.
