Lucy Worsley

It's Lucy Worsley here and we're back with a brand new series of Lady Swindlers.

No, to me, I have to say that seems slightly long. Do you know what I mean? I think that point where you're looking forward to, you know, when you start thinking, when is the first bin collection after Christmas? To me, that seems a vital date. When are we going to get rid of these bottles? That to me seems to be like the end of Christmas, I suppose. The big bin day.

It's Lucy Worsley here and we're back with a brand new series of Lady Swindlers.

This is a story of working-class women trying to get by. This is survival.

I'm here shining up my fraudulent damehood. I started getting abuse online for having accepted a damehood, which is the ultimate mark of authenticity.

This season, we're chasing fake mediums, a lady burglar and the infamous Yorkshire witch from England and Scotland to the US and beyond. Our Lady Swindlers are truly international. She moved from Scotland to England to Italy, later to New York, to New Zealand and Australia. As always, we're travelling back in time with our in-house historian, Professor Rosalind Krohn.

And we've even come up with our own criminal nicknames. Cunning Krohn. Luce the Noose. Luce, Lucy and Robert Ross.

Not all of them can be gone. Our guest detective team is expanding too. This season we're joined by broadcasters, barristers, authors, activists, a psychologist and even an artist.

Join me for the second season of Lady Swindlers, where true crime meets history with a twist. Available now. Listen on the BBC app or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's Lucy Worsley here and we're back with a brand new series of Lady Swindlers. Join me and my all female team of detectives as we revisit the audacious crimes of women trying to make it in a world made for men. These were women who traded in crime, but who were ahead of their time. History calls them criminals. Society calls them frauds.

But here on Lady Swindlers, we call them ordinary women who lived extraordinary lives. And we're still talking about them today.

Or travel with us to 1920s New York to meet Celia Cooney, the bobbed-haired bandit. A celebrity armed robber with a plan. But deep down, all she really wants is her dream home. And you don't have to just take our word for it.

Hello, I'm India Raksin and I just want to quickly talk to you about witches. In this series from BBC Radio 4, simply titled Witch, I'm going to explore the meaning of the word today. It is a twisting, turning rabbit warren of a world, full of forgotten connections to land and to power, lost graves, stolen words and indelible marks on the world.

Because the story of the witch is actually the story of us all. Come and find out why on Witch with me, India Rackerson. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
