Episode 80; Collaboration with Picture the Scene Podcast

Welcome back to Episode 80, my dear Crime Family! I've missed you!

This week I had the pleasure of working again with Andy from Picture the Scene Podcast, with whom we also collaborated on Episode 41. Rachael was unable to join us, but Andy brought us a case from the UK, detailing the horrible domestic violence murder of Dawn Walker. This murder was, unfortunately, predictable, but the circumstances are beyond tragic. Dawn was a wonderful person who was loved by everyone who knew her, and she deserved far better.

My case this week is the survivor story of Py Bateman. Py was a revolutionary related to women's self-defense, as the world in the 1960's and 1970's was becoming an ever more dangerous place for women. She saw her peers being given outdated and dangerous advice related to personal safety, and took it upon herself to teach women how to fight back when she opened the Feminist Karate Union. The acronym FKU may or may not have been coincidental. Wink. And when she had to use her own methods to save herself, she came away knowing she was doing the right thing. Py is a warrior, and she taught hundreds of other women how to have the discipline and confidence to be warriors, too!

Please go check out Picture the Scene Podcast, follow them on social media @scenepod, and give Andy's Yorkshire accent a chance. He swears you'll learn to love it! I think you will, too. You can find places to listen here: linktr.ee/Scenepod

Welcome to True Crime BnB. I’m Beth, your host. This podcast began with my daughter as a space to honor victims and celebrate survivors.

Now in Season 4, I’m continuing solo—ushering in a new chapter I call True Crime BnB: UNEXPECTED.

These episodes are history with a side of crime. This is the sound of whitewashing being undone. I’m reaching into the past to find silenced voices—letting them speak, exposing the systems that buried them, and telling the stories no one ever taught me.

Because I wasn’t supposed to know any of this. And that’s exactly why it matters.

This podcast is for the victims, the survivors, and the histories they were written out of.

This is the True Crime BnB.
