Christmas Special - The Comeback
Hello lovely listeners, I'm still here, still alive and still very sorry for the ghosting! We are pausing the Pernicious Parent series since I really fell off the ball with that and doing a lil Christmas special with returning guest, Ashton. We are just going to go through a couple of websites that tell of the horrifying and craziest Christmas crimes. We'll be sad and jolly throughout the episode and we hope that you enjoy it, and it will hopefully kick my arse back into gear to being a better host in 2024! Wishing you all a safe and wonderful christmas and new year, however you celebrate it, I hope it brings you well wishes and lots of love! LM x

Pernicious Parents: PART 2...ish
Hello lovely listeners! Here is the 1st part of the 2nd instalment of the Pernicious Parents series... hence the 'ish'
This week we look at the life of Elizabeth Diane Frederickson or more commonly known as Diane Downs... oh yes that lady. IYKYK. Join me as we discuss her life until the events of May 19th, 1983. We'll see she's a textbook narcissist, a 'pick me' girl, someone with obsessive and demanding needs who will do *literally* anything to have things her way. Strap in, we are almost going to reading the plot of a sitcom
