Mums Mysteries & Murder

We're two Mums living in Edinburgh who are obsessed with true crime and mysterious happenings, so obsessed we decided to start a podcast! Each month we take turns to tell stories from our homelands - Cheryl Scottish born and bred where haggis is NOT actually an animal and Marti from the land down under where no prawns have ever been thrown on a barbie, it needs to be said! So, if you want polished, professional true crime then this is not for you, maybe try Casefile. But if you love true crime and mystery like us & you can't stop talking about it, give us a listen! Its not big or clever but it is entertaining.

Mums Mysteries & Murder

Burke & Hare

November 08, 2022 • Marti & Effie • Season 1 • Episode 19

We are finally getting around to covering probably Edinburgh's most notorious killers - Burke & Hare! Very well known not only in Edinburgh but there was a Simon Pegg and Isla Fisher dark comedy even made about them they are so famous, and we're pretty sure you've heard of them.

Join us for a historical romp .. just past the Iron Age but before the 60's to hear this twisted tale from Effie.

Hell, there's even a poem!
It's a very surprising episode and you're going to want to hear Marti's new version of Bag O Dicks!

Huge thanks again to Erin our podcast editor who is an invaluable member of the MMAM team and saves Marti unlimited stress!

Also, a big shout out to our featured trailer Shittin Bricks from the Boopod Network.
