What A Way To Go

Turn Me On, Dead Man

It's a season finale celebrity special this week!

Clare kicks us off with a MASSIVE DOWNER about Elliott Smith, Els takes us through the excellent Paul McCartney death conspiracy, and Sarah finishes up with the mysterious death of actress Natalie Wood.

We are taking a break for a little while, but we'll be back in the autumn with new episodes and more guests - subscribe and spread the word in the meantime!

Guess Who's Back?

We're back!

We took a bit of a longer hiatus than anticipated but fret not, here we are and we can all enjoy Monday mornings again (maybe).

Els goes first this week with a mysterious mystery story (she loves those) about the 'missingist missing person in the World'. Sarah follows with a pretty similar story about Australian Prime Minister Harold Holt and his mysterious disappearance. And then Daly brings us down to earth with a terrible near miss story involving a young child and a kebab skewer.

If you missed us or just want to share the love, please leave us a review. Or tell us what you think on the Internet (where Sarah lives) - we're @whatawaypod on Twitter and Instagram.

 

Funeral Pump

It's all gone a bit 'Carry On What A Way To Go' this week starting with our bluest story yet from Sarah - find out how Félix François Faure met his... uh... sticky end.

Clare inadvertently bends our 'no murders' rule but is forgiven with the assassination of Kim Jong-nam.

Then Els rounds us off with the incredibly ironic death of poor old Molière.

As per usual, contains loads of swearing and feminism. Give @whatawaypod a wave on social media why don't you?

Factually Incorrect

Another Monday sees another week of the What a Way to Go troupe being reliably unreliable with the facts.

Clare tells the incredibly sad tale of a stunt gone wrong on Noel Edmunds' Late, Late Breakfast show. Els shares the many attempts to kill Rasputin (technically a murder, but don't tell Sarah), which apparently is not the most famous thing about the man. And Sarah recounts the story of the reclusive brothers, Homer and Langley Collyer.

Contains swearing, women talking and dick chat.

Christmas Special

A Christmas present or a Christmas special? You tell us.

We couldn't get our act together enough in the busy weeks before Christmas to record a normal episode so here is our own near miss stories.

To be fair, this has been requested so we are giving you a treat. A short and sweet Christmas treat - you're welcome.

Let us know what you think - as always emails of to whatawaypod@gmail.com and we're @whatawaypod on Instagram and Twitter.

Thanks for sticking with us, see you in 2019 pals!

New Year, Same Us

Hi gang! We're kicking off 2019 with a massive, depressing bang!

Sarah has multiple stories of chimney-related deaths (here's a tip: don't climb into a chimney), Clare recounts the incredible story of Forthman Murff who survived the unsurvivable, and Els covers the tragic death of Joyce Vincent who inspired the 2011 film 'Dreams of a Life'.

As usual we lighten the tone at the end with our Girl Crushes, and as usual there's loads of swearing.

Enjoy!

Good Boys Gone Bad

Another episode is calling after a slightly longer than two week break. Sorry guys.

Near misses all round this week. Els retells Dave Maher's story of waking from a coma to find his friends grieving for him, Sarah walks us through the story that led Harambe the gorilla to take over the internet and Clare ventures into the world of armed dogs. All normal stuff.

As ever contains swearing and unverified facts.

Good Grief

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.

Seymour Johnson

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!

Pencil Emoji

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.
