About this episode

In perhaps the longest anticipated guest in Drunk Women history, the gang was delighted to be in the company of presenter, Kate Thornton, after two previous near misses! 

As the saying goes 'third time lucky' and this is most definitely the case, as Kate not only brings a crime story, which is up there as one of the most unbelievable tales we've heard to date but also joins the elite force of the note-takers. 

We then hear about the life of a true legend, who had to endure more true crime than most of us would be able to take. 

As always a lovely listener rounds things off for us with their own story of crime victimhood - but perhaps in this week's case, they were more involved than they were letting on?
