Ep 173 - The Many Crimes of Kate Leigh & Tilly Devine
About this episode
Ep 173 is loose and we're headed down under to tell the tale of two crime bosses on the streets of Sydney.
How did two women rise to power on the streets of the city? What is sly grog? And is the taxman the greatest poison of them all?
The secret ingredient is...grog!
