I'm Molly Wonsall and I'm Geoffrey Wonsall 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, Jeffrey Wansall.

Hello everyone, welcome back. I'm very glad you stayed with us, even though sometimes the material can be a bit frightening.

Yeah, it's a bit grim, isn't it?

We were just chatting between ourselves as to what topic we're going to do in the next podcast

and worried we're going down a very grim path.

Perhaps we'll lighten it up with some more like Victorian or older.

For some reason we think those are lighter.

I don't think they are, you know.

I mean, the Victorians, or indeed even before,

had the capacity to do terrible, terrible things.

And in a way, even more brutal ways.

But I think it's important that we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that a lot of people find true crime fascinating.

And interestingly fascinating. And interestingly,

interestingly, it's often women. Now, I find that quite intriguing. What is it about particularly vicious murder that ladies find interesting?

I've literally never thought about why I like. And also for me, it's not so much the murder

as the murder mystery that is my real real thing is the detective yes so you

it's kind of a Poirot or a you know who did it why did they do it who done it what done it

who did it yeah when did they do it yeah and i can never work them out and i've watched listened

read about a zillion.

Yeah.
