    Episode 113 - The London Beer Flood & The Poole Murders of 1599_mixdown
    Oct 17 2026
    On 17 October 1814, a huge vat of porter burst at the Horseshoe Brewery in London. A wave of beer flattened walls and swept through the slums of St Giles with deadly results. We look at how the disaster happened, the inquest that followed, and why no one was ever held responsible. Then Ali takes us to Poole in 1599 for the brutal killings of Alice Green and Agnes Beard. It's a case built on greed and an inheritance worth killing for. We follow the trials, the suspects and the alleged mastermind, then the evidence that was reopened, the records that went missing and a final twist over the estate. Plus a CrimeCon catch-up and some thoughts on history that stays unresolved.

    In 1839, £4,600 worth of Brazilian gold dust vanished from a London shipment — and the people behind the theft had a serious problem: they couldn’t even trust each other.
    The Great Gold Dust Heist of 1839 is the bizarre true story of stolen gold, forged paperwork, crooked deals, an IOU for £1,200 worth of gold… and a Victorian gang that spectacularly fell apart.
