I Promise I Am Not Crazy

Female Gangs and One Pirate

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 21:00:00 +1000

Yo! So brief disclaimer - April 12th episode was aired instead of April 19th episode - due to a slight technical error - never fear though - 26th of April shall air the April 19th episode!

This Sunday is definitely inspired by an overconsumption of Peaky Blinders, leading to a research rabbit hole about the truth of the aforementioned gang (found out the show is largely fictitious), which then led to a curiosity about where women stood within these criminal hierarchies. Turns out, they kinda ruled the roost in a few cases. So tune in to find out about London's all-female gang, the Forty Elephants, and Australia's very own female-led rival razor gangs from Sydney. Plus, just because, a noble woman who turned to Piracy and flipped the French aristocracy on its head in the 14th century.

I Am Woman: Hear Me Roar

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 21:00:00 +1000

Tonight's episode takes us on a chaotic, nonlinear journey through history. Looking into 3 women, all very different, yet they had one thing in common, rebellion. In some cases, it was small, maybe today we wouldn't even see it for the silent rebellion against the system that it was. In other cases, maybe it wasn't so rebellious, but one woman's claim on legitimacy threatened to topple a powerful regime. And lastly, full-blown scorched-earth revenge, revenge against those who dared to cross her.

So have a listen and find out about: Empress Elisabeth of Austria, Princess Tarakanova, and Boudica of the Iceni
