I'm Molly Wansall and I'm Geoffrey Wansall and for the last 16 years or thereabouts we have been having lunch every Saturday and often our conversation turns to murder

and that's what's prompted us to launch this true crime podcast called Blood Ties.

Hi everyone, welcome back to the Blood Ties podcast. I'm Molly Wansall and I'm here with my father, Geoffrey Wansall.

Hello everyone, welcome back. It's been a strange Christmas and New Year. I feel sort of slightly disoriented.

Yeah. Not doing enough podcasts. Yeah, we're very behind on podcasts.

And doing lots of other things which have left me kind of a little bewildered.

But it's very nice to be back again.

Here we are.

And thank you again for all your support.

It is incredibly important to both Molly and I.

And it's a delight to do these podcasts for you and also for me.

It's very good for me to look back and look at these wonderful cases in extraordinary times.

I mean, they're no wonderful is the wrong word.

They are sometimes heartbreaking,

but they are nevertheless part of our history.

So, Mo, have you had, apart from hurting your hand,

how else have you been this week?

Okay, thank you.

Not too bad.

Ordinary kind of a week?

Yeah. I wouldn't say it was one of my best weeks, but, thank you. Not too bad. Ordinary kind of a week? Yeah.

I wouldn't say it was one of my best weeks, but, you know, these things go up and down.
