News of the Times Episode 154 | 1764-1766
Forgotten Fridays 1764-1766
In today’s episode, we look at a story that consumed both sides of the English Channel – the murderous midwife whose house was a grave sight for over 50 babies.  The punishment for her crimes was unique with calls for the same type of punishment to be brought over into England.
Runway indentured servants, space for additional lunatic patients, blood letting and stagecoach schedules for Christmas are in the mix.  The episode finishes with the amazing story of Captain Glass.  Before there was Jack Sparrow, there was Captain Glass!
Hosted by Robin Coles.

News of the Times Episode 153 | 1800's
The World of the Victorian Scam Artist: Wicked Wednesdays
Although scam artists have been around since time immemorial, The Victorian era the rise of various types of scam artists, fraudsters, and beggars. With the divide between rich and poor at an extreme level, individuals used various tactics to exploit the vulnerabilities of their targets and make money through deception.

In today’s episode we look specifically at the Victorian version of the 21st century email phishing and scams: the begging letter and its enormous success at the time.

These letters were typically written by individuals claiming to be in dire circumstances or facing some sort of tragedy. They would appeal to the recipient's sympathy and generosity, asking for financial assistance. Social investigators of the time placed the fraud perpetrated by the begging letter industry into the millions.

We take a look at this trade, the London Mendicity Society and some notables who were swindled, including Charles Dickens in the World of the Victorian Scam Artist.

News of the Times Episode 152 | 1832 - 1879
A Collection of Macabre Murders | Twisted Tales Tuesdays
In today’s episode we look at some of the stories where murder was not enough.  In these stories, murder was followed by an attempt to completely obliviate the victim.
We start with Charlotte Lawson and the horrific murder of her mistress in France.  Followed by the infamous James Cook and Mr Paas case that was a sensation in its day.
Historically, one can argue that Kate Webster going so far as to attempt to boil off the flesh of the body parts and sell the fat is an impressive attempt at annihilation.
And we end with a love triangle that goes badly for the husband.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

News of the Times Episode 151 | 1922
The Case of Herbet Rowse Armstrong: Murderous Mondays
In 1922, Herbert Rowse Armstrong was a well-respected solicitor in the quaint town of Hay-on-Wye.  A slightly built dapper man, on the surface he seems devoted to his wife Katherine who is known for browbeating her husband and publicly humiliating him.  But then, Katherine becomes very unwell, and a business rival also becomes violently ill after eating a scone handed to him by Armstrong.
We take a look at this famous case which won Armstrong the distinction of being the only solicitor in the history of the UK to have been hung for murder.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

Robert Hitchens - The Man Who Sank the Titanic | ep150 | 1882 - 1940
Robert Hitchens: The Man Who Sank the Titanic: Eccentric Sundays
Robert Hitchens – The Man Who Sank the Titanic - carried that title with him for the rest of his life.  Besides driving the Titanic into an iceberg, questions of his actual culpability arose as well as whether he purposefully allowed drowning passengers to die rather than attempt to save those he could.
The event haunted his life ending in an attempted murder and two suicide attempts.  In today’s episode of Eccentric Sundays, we look at the man and the stories surrounding Robert-Hichens – the man who sank the Titanic.
Hosted by Robin Coles.

News of the Times Episode 148 | 1726 - 1728
Forgotten Fridays 1726-1728
In today’s episode of Forgotten Fridays, it is 1726 – 1728 and a country woman is supposedly giving birth to rabbits – some dead and some alive.  There are a lot of them.  Eminent doctors are sent forthwith to confirm this and agree that she is indeed giving birth to live rabbits.
The Mary Toft rabbit story headlines this episode with lots of other stories as well such as the man attempting to lure young boys away being caught and the husband making a public announcement that he was wrong and that his wife had not eloped with another, but had gone to visit her sisters. 
Stories which give colour to what it was like for the ordinary person as well as those much more fortunate who had to find the wherewithal to purchase a new Peruke in order to be allowed in the presence of the King.

News of the Times Episode 147 | 1787 - 1871
Cross Dressing in Historical England = Wicked Wednesdays
Cross dressing in historical England was a brave move with the law, at least against men, being threateningly severe.
Today’s episode looks at some of the notable cases of cross dressing in historical England.  We would like to note that although this falls under the auspices of “Wicked Wednesdays”, we do not in any way denote this as Wicked. 
This series looks at more national cases and trends and tends towards a more sociological perspective,  We commend the bravery of the chevalier, the young 14 year old girls, the impoverished brainy Dr Barry from Ireland and the actors, Boulton and Park, in Victorian England braving the potential severest of penalties to make a point.

News of the Times Episode 145 | 1923
The Ilford Tragedy: Murderous Mondays
In 1923, the Edith Thompson and Frederick Bywaters case that took place in Ilford was a tragic and infamous criminal trial in England. The case involved allegations of murder and adultery, with some salacious correspondence thrown in.  Edith’s husband, Percy Thompson, is brutally attacked and murdered on a London street. The police investigation uncovered older woman Edith's affair with teenager Bywaters, and the love letters became key pieces of evidence.
In this episode we look at the people in this tragic love triangle and the outcome of events.
