Oh hi, fancy seeing you here.   After a whole 9 months we are back in your ears with a new episode. The 9 months will make sense when you take a listen.   As usual we have a range of odd and interesting stories for you - Els' tells us some history about public duals, Sarah shares the extreme dangers of being at a baseball game and Daly regales us with the story of a weird chemical explosion in January 2020.   And as always, contains a lot of swears and loud female voices.

What A Way To Go

Phileas Fogg wasn't real

It's an episode number with a 0 on the end which can only mean one thing - a celebrity special! And it turns out that when a celeb dies consipracy theories aren't far behind... Clare possibly sets the Crips on her (?!) by covering the murder of Tupac, while Els goes back in time for a little MORE conversation (sorry) about King of Rock n Roll Elvis Presley. Then Sarah takes us on a fascinating (horrible) tour of the Kennedy Curse. This is the last episode for a little while as we're off around the world and having a break to regroup. Keep your eyes on our social media for news of our return. As per f**king usual this podcast contains swearing and politics. Oh and women.

Assassinations Aside

We're back with a grand total of three stories this week...music to everyone's ears! Sarah explains how a combination of three seemingly random words can be life saving, Clare talks us through the terrifying world of snake churches and Els ruins delicious food for everyone. Sorry. As ever, the episode ends with the delightful chaser of the women we are championing this week. Enjoy pals. Contains swearing, snake chat and confessions of our dalliances with shit drinks.

The Goldschläger Years

Oh dear, it's happened again. We only have 2 stories for you this week as Daly and Sarah come with the same near miss. But don't worry, we're still as loud and boisterous as always. Els starts us off with a story about about a family on a boat (NOT the Swiss Family Robinson) and the other two tell a tale about a dangerous fish tank. Then we finish off with our female crushes of the week. Lots to learn. As always, contains unapologetic lady voices and loads of swears, enjoy!

Chernobyl Baby

Welcome to week 37, where Clare talks us through all the horrifying pursuits us women have put ourselves through in the name of beauty, Els tells us the story of Helen Rudd and Sarah reminds why you can have too much of a good thing (and by good thing, we mean beer). As ever, we end the week with our girl crushes. Contains swearing and a reminder that Boris Johnson is now Prime Minister. Hold on to your pants.

Barrister's Lob

A mixed bag of unusual deaths for you this week dudes! Sarah kicks off with the recent spate of mysterious deaths in the Dominican Republic, Clare covers the mad sad world of plane stowaways, and Els gives us all (yellow) fever to lighten the mood. As usual we finish off with our girl crushes and swear loads. Enjoy!

Patriarchy Chicken

The mighty threesome are reunited and back on their bullshit. Els kicks us off with the story of a mystery man found on a beach with a weird note in his pocket. Sarah talks about the Sentinelese tribe and what is technically a murder (sorry Els) and Daly tells us the story that inspired one of her favourite songs. The episode also contains girl crushes, Holland chat and an interesting theory about people who ride horses. Enjoy!

Busman's Holiday

Sarah fans look away now... It's just Clare and Els this week.  Clare kicks us off with a few ironic numbers (sans Alanis Morissette), and Els follows up with why you shouldn't mess with Niagara Falls, or orange peels for that matter. Short but sweet. Contains swearing, women and Love Island chat.

Upside Down Smiley Face Pancake

We've got quite the spectrum of stories for you this week...! Clare starts with the effed-up world of climbing Everest, Els tells us what unusual object helped to save Chris McCabe's life, then Sarah closes with the very sad story of Australian teenager Sam Ballard. To lighten it up at the end as ever we wallow in love for our Girl Crushes. Contains swears. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Meat Done Good

The episode titles are just getting weirder and weirder. We promise you it is relevant to the episode! This weeks episode (2 weeks late mind, don't hold it against us) is chock full of mispronunciations and a couple of stories about birds. Sarah starts us off by talking about the world's deadliest bird - even though she still doesn't know how to pronounce it. Daly tells us the story of a ritual gone wrong involving a wok and Els finishes with the tale of Aeschylus and his untimely death. We finish as always with some girl crushes to lighten the mood. And then we talk about Serial for a while, because we're still invested. The episode contains a load of swears, loud female voices and a load of nonsense. Enjoy!

Irrational Fear of Woks

We're back a day late due to far too much enjoyment of the Easter sunshine. Sorry pals. Els kicks us off with the sad story of the Radium Girls, Sarah tells us the tale of William Kemmler and Clare finishes with the recent incident of an elephant and lion getting their own back on a poacher. Bummers all round guys. Does contain swearing. And women's voices. And a light sprinkling of vegan chat. 

Too Many Elephants

We turn Dirty Thirty this week with another celebrity special for you! Clare delves into The Day The Music Died, Els is BACK and calling back to our first celebrity special with the sad death of Bruce Lee, then Sarah rounds us off with the details of *that* Brian Harvey story (#E17Forever). As usual we finish up with our Girl Crushes. Contains swears and tales of youth misspent in Romford.

Ghost Fonz

It's been 2 weeks since you last heard from us, so as protocol dictates we are here again.   Well we is a relative term, as Els does not feature in this episode. We know, we missed her too. But still, Daly and Sarah are here to talk a load of nonsense for roughly 57 minutes. Sarah shares some more 'first' stories and Daly tells us a sad tale about a horse in a hyperbaric chamber.   Girl crushes follow as usual, and then we end with a bit more nonsense to finish it off. Enjoy!   Beware the swears.  

Pencil Emoji

Happy International Women's Day y'all! We're here with the usual tales of the mad, bad and sad ways people have died or nearly died. Plus three excellent Girl Crushes to lighten the mood afterwards. This week Clare kicks us off with the extremely sad story of the Arizona sweat lodge deaths, Els brings a welcome and drastic shift in tone with the near death of a famous celestial body (SPOILER ALERT: it's the sun), and Sarah covers the two nuclear bombs the US almost detonated over North Carolina by accident. As ever, loads of swears and innuendo. Enjoy!

Seymour Johnson

It's week 27 in the What A Way To Go house and the girls are still coming up with weird stories you've (hopefully) never heard of. Sarah kicks us off with another story about bodily fluids, Daly takes us on a window washing horror journey and Els tells us the tale of a man who got inventive with some playing cards. We finish as always with some girl crushes, followed by a lot of chat about Sally Rooney. Because she's ace. Only contains female voices and bloody loads of swears.
