Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to introduce myself.

My name's Stevie Middleton and I'm a BBC Commissioner for a load of sport podcasts.

I'm lucky to do that at the BBC because I get to work with leading journalists, experienced

pundits and the biggest sports stars.

Together we bring you untold stories and fascinating insights straight from the player's mouths.

But the best thing about doing this at the BBC is our unique access to the sporting world. What that means is that we can bring you podcasts that create a real connection to dedicated sports fans across the UK. So if you like this podcast, head over to BBC Sounds where you'll find plenty more. BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.

You're about to listen to a brand new series of

Lady Swindlers with Lucy Worsley.

New episodes will be released weekly wherever you get your podcasts,

but if you're in the UK, you can listen to the latest episodes

a week early, first on BBC Sounds.

Welcome to Lady Swindlers with me, Lucy Wersley, where true crime meets history with a twist.

Join us as we travel back in time and across the world, tailing scammers, crooks, con-women and convicts, women from all walks of life, who found themselves on the wrong side of the law.

What's their lives and their crimes tell us about women in the past,

and how different is it for women today? Our case today has everything you want from a

sensational Victorian melodrama. In fact, it has so many twists and turns that you might need

to grab a piece of paper and a pen and start making some notes.

Who is our serial swindler and star of our show?

I'll let her introduce herself.

I am Annie Newbond.

Anne Bruce Sutherland.

Annie Oglevy Bruce.
