The Erdington Murders

Y’all, if you haven’t heard of the Erdington murders then you’re in for a doozy. Ash goes over the case of two young women, Mary Ashford and Barbara Forrest who were murdered 157 years apart in Erdington. The way that the two cases mirror each other is just so bonkers and will have you questioning if some kind of Fear Street witch cursed the area. Oh also there’s a trial by combat, so there’s that.

Engaging and entertaining as always!

Thanks for yet another entertaining podcast, Ladies! You always make my day. Good choice to lay out the two stories separately first, Ash! I loved being surprised by the similarities as they emerged during the storytelling.

The best

The way these gals lay out the stories or whatever they are discussing in the episode is down right awesome. It’s easy to follow they are fun and make everything interesting. No other podcast compares! I anxiously await new episodes every week!

Sorry Folks!

I'd probably like these podcasts if it weren't for the swearing. I once heard someone say that intelligent people needn’t swear because they should have the vocabulary to not have to. Or, you could put it this way, swearing makes you appear unintelligent. I know that a lot of people see nothing wrong with using the "F" word liberally, but it just doesn’t appeal to me and I’m not a prude. I do like the banter between the two hosts, I find them very interesting & intelligent. Just tired of fowl language.
