In late 2022 and 2023, I had the pleasure and good fortune to work on seasons 2 and 3 of the BBC podcast Lady Killers with Lucy Worsley, as a researcher for Professor Rosalind Crone.
The new series starts today at 11:30am on Radio 4, or you can listen to it on BBC Sounds. I worked on two cases, including today’s episode on Maria Manning. The Manning case was probably my favourite of all the six cases I’ve done across the two seasons, and you’ll ‘hear’ why if you tune in.
I also worked on the episodes in season two concerning Christiana Edmunds, Edith Thompson, Marguerite Fahmy (which had some wonderful primary sources) and the Liverpool poisoners, Flanagan and Higgins.
I’d like to thank Ros and StoryHunters for making the whole experience so much fun!
