I'm David Soucher, and this is Blood Tides.

For the last 17 years, we've been having lunch every Saturday,

but now we bring you true crime stories from lockdown.

This is 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.

Pleasure to think you're all listening again.

Every week I say to myself, aren't we lucky to have such wonderful listeners and such

devoted followers who send us exquisite messages and lots of support, which is very, very, very moving.

And I feel it deeply, especially at times like these, when it is very strange and especially

for us in lockdown.

And really, it makes such a difference to know you can reach out.

It really makes a difference.

Yeah, it's been great. Thank you so much, everyone, for continued support. It means a lot to us.

So, yeah, thank you all very much. How was your week, Dad? It was okay, yes. A little less stressful than a week before,

if only because I did rather less... Murder. Rather less death, rather less death.

Yeah. Always a good week when you've got less death.

I get a bit overwhelmed. But, no, what keeps me going, really, is that sense that these are fascinating stories.

And they illuminate the human condition.
