Hello! We're back after an accidental hiatus and we've got a refreshed version of one of the first stories we ever covered, the murder mystery of the Carlow-Hollywood director; William Desmond Taylor. 

We retold this story live in Carlow over the summer and got some updated information from local writer, and all round lovely man, Marc-Ivan O'Gorman.
 
All the facts of the story covering William's life and death are all in this free episode but if you want to hear the completely unproven theories about who killed him you can get that episode (and all the other stuff) for a fiver on Patreon.
