What A Way To Go
Phileas Fogg wasn't real
Oh hi, fancy seeing you here.   After a whole 9 months we are back in your ears with a new episode. The 9 months will make sense when you take a listen.   As usual we have a range of odd and interesting stories for you - Els' tells us some history about public duals, Sarah shares the extreme dangers of being at a baseball game and Daly regales us with the story of a weird chemical explosion in January 2020.   And as always, contains a lot of swears and loud female voices.

What A Way To Go
Assassinations Aside
It's an episode number with a 0 on the end which can only mean one thing - a celebrity special! And it turns out that when a celeb dies consipracy theories aren't far behind... Clare possibly sets the Crips on her (?!) by covering the murder of Tupac, while Els goes back in time for a little MORE conversation (sorry) about King of Rock n Roll Elvis Presley. Then Sarah takes us on a fascinating (horrible) tour of the Kennedy Curse. This is the last episode for a little while as we're off around the world and having a break to regroup. Keep your eyes on our social media for news of our return. As per f**king usual this podcast contains swearing and politics. Oh and women.

The Goldschläger Years
We're back with a grand total of three stories this week...music to everyone's ears!

As ever, the episode ends with the delightful chaser of the women we are championing this week. Enjoy pals. Contains swearing, snake chat and confessions of our dalliances with shit drinks.

Chernobyl Baby
Oh dear, it's happened again. We only have 2 stories for you this week as Daly and Sarah come with the same near miss. But don't worry, we're still as loud and boisterous as always. Els starts us off with a story about about a family on a boat (NOT the Swiss Family Robinson) and the other two tell a tale about a dangerous fish tank. Then we finish off with our female crushes of the week. Lots to learn. As always, contains unapologetic lady voices and loads of swears, enjoy!

Barrister's Lob
Welcome to week 37, where Clare talks us through all the horrifying pursuits us women have put ourselves through in the name of beauty, Els tells us the story of Helen Rudd and Sarah reminds why you can have too much of a good thing (and by good thing, we mean beer). As ever, we end the week with our girl crushes. Contains swearing and a reminder that Boris Johnson is now Prime Minister. Hold on to your pants.

Upside Down Smiley Face Pancake
Sarah fans look away now... It's just Clare and Els this week.  Clare kicks us off with a few ironic numbers (sans Alanis Morissette), and Els follows up with why you shouldn't mess with Niagara Falls, or orange peels for that matter. Short but sweet. Contains swearing, women and Love Island chat.

Meat Done Good
We've got quite the spectrum of stories for you this week...!

To lighten it up at the end as ever we wallow in love for our Girl Crushes. Contains swears. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

What A Way To Go
Irrational Fear of Woks
The episode titles are just getting weirder and weirder. We promise you it is relevant to the episode! This weeks episode (2 weeks late mind, don't hold it against us) is chock full of mispronunciations and a couple of stories about birds. Sarah starts us off by talking about the world's deadliest bird - even though she still doesn't know how to pronounce it. Daly tells us the story of a ritual gone wrong involving a wok and Els finishes with the tale of Aeschylus and his untimely death. We finish as always with some girl crushes to lighten the mood. And then we talk about Serial for a while, because we're still invested. The episode contains a load of swears, loud female voices and a load of nonsense. Enjoy!

What A Way To Go
Too Many Elephants
We're back a day late due to far too much enjoyment of the Easter sunshine. Sorry pals. Els kicks us off with the sad story of the Radium Girls, Sarah tells us the tale of William Kemmler and Clare finishes with the recent incident of an elephant and lion getting their own back on a poacher. Bummers all round guys. Does contain swearing. And women's voices. And a light sprinkling of vegan chat.

Pencil Emoji
It's been 2 weeks since you last heard from us, so as protocol dictates we are here again.   Well we is a relative term, as Els does not feature in this episode. We know, we missed her too. But still, Daly and Sarah are here to talk a load of nonsense for roughly 57 minutes. Sarah shares some more 'first' stories and Daly tells us a sad tale about a horse in a hyperbaric chamber.   Girl crushes follow as usual, and then we end with a bit more nonsense to finish it off. Enjoy!   Beware the swears.

Seymour Johnson
Happy International Women's Day y'all! We're here with the usual tales of the mad, bad and sad ways people have died or nearly died. Plus three excellent Girl Crushes to lighten the mood afterwards. This week Clare kicks us off with the extremely sad story of the Arizona sweat lodge deaths, Els brings a welcome and drastic shift in tone with the near death of a famous celestial body (SPOILER ALERT: it's the sun), and Sarah covers the two nuclear bombs the US almost detonated over North Carolina by accident. As ever, loads of swears and innuendo. Enjoy!

Good Grief
It's week 27 in the What A Way To Go house and the girls are still coming up with weird stories you've (hopefully) never heard of. Sarah kicks us off with another story about bodily fluids, Daly takes us on a window washing horror journey and Els tells us the tale of a man who got inventive with some playing cards. We finish as always with some girl crushes, followed by a lot of chat about Sally Rooney. Because she's ace. Only contains female voices and bloody loads of swears.

Good Boys Gone Bad
Another episode is calling after a slightly longer than two week break. Sorry guys. Near misses all round this week. Els retells Dave Maher's story of waking from a coma to find his friends grieving for him, Sarah walks us through the story that led Harambe the gorilla to take over the internet and Clare ventures into the world of armed dogs. All normal stuff. As ever contains swearing and unverified facts.

New Year, Same Us
Hi gang! We're kicking off 2019 with a massive, depressing bang! Sarah has multiple stories of chimney-related deaths (here's a tip: don't climb into a chimney), Clare recounts the incredible story of Forthman Murff who survived the unsurvivable, and Els covers the tragic death of Joyce Vincent who inspired the 2011 film 'Dreams of a Life'. As usual we lighten the tone at the end with our Girl Crushes, and as usual there's loads of swearing. Enjoy!

Let us know what you think - as always emails of to whatawaypod@gmail.com and we're @whatawaypod on Instagram and Twitter. Thanks for sticking with us, see you in 2019 pals!

What A Way To Go
Factually Incorrect
Another Monday sees another week of the What a Way to Go troupe being reliably unreliable with the facts. Clare tells the incredibly sad tale of a stunt gone wrong on Noel Edmunds' Late, Late Breakfast show. Els shares the many attempts to kill Rasputin (technically a murder, but don't tell Sarah), which apparently is not the most famous thing about the man. And Sarah recounts the story of the reclusive brothers, Homer and Langley Collyer. Contains swearing, women talking and dick chat. Follow us on various social media: @whatawaypod. Or send us a lovely email: whatawaypod@gmail.com. Or do both.

Funeral Pump
It's all gone a bit 'Carry On What A Way To Go' this week starting with our bluest story yet from Sarah - find out how Félix François Faure met his... uh... sticky end. Clare inadvertently bends our 'no murders' rule but is forgiven with the assassination of Kim Jong-nam. Then Els rounds us off with the incredibly ironic death of poor old Molière. As per usual, contains loads of swearing and feminism. Give @whatawaypod a wave on social media why don't you?
