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.

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!

To lighten it up at the end as ever we wallow in love for our Girl Crushes.
Contains swears. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Contains swearing, snake chat and confessions of our dalliances with shit drinks.
