Ep 205 - Thief-Taking & Thievery with Jonathan Wild

Listen to the full episode :

 

EP 205 is loose! And we have a duplicitous rogue for you this week in the shape of supposed thief-taker Jonathan Wild.

Who was this 1700s 'gent'? How did he know where all the thieves were? And will we ever get over this week's cocktail?

The secret ingredient is...a buttock!
