Hannah and Taylor are joined in each episode by top guests – from comedians to crime writers – to test out their drunk detective skills. Each episode sees the boozed-up panel tackle personal crime stories, solve true crime cases, and seek justice for crimes against their listeners.
Recent guests include Michelle de Swarte, Cally Beaton, Bridget Christie, Poppy Jay and Chloe Petts.
The Audio Always Originals network includes Help I Sexted My Boss, Carrie Jade Does Not Exist and The Moon Under Water Podcast and reaches over 3.5 million listens each month.The network is distributed and monetised via Acast.

Amanda Redman is the podcast’s producer and will continue to lead on editorial and content strategy.
