13
00:00:54,182 --> 00:00:57,022
Speaker 2: Jemma Bath, your child's arrival could not have come at

14
00:00:57,062 --> 00:01:00,302
Speaker 2: a more inconvenient moment. But I'm very, very glad to

15
00:01:00,302 --> 00:01:02,262
Speaker 2: be stepping into your shoes because we all know how

16

Speaker 2: favorite podcasts in the world, So thank you for letting

18
00:01:08,262 --> 00:01:09,702
Speaker 2: me handle it while you're away.

19
00:01:10,462 --> 00:01:14,062
Speaker 1: My absolute pleasure and my absolute apology from me and

20
00:01:14,142 --> 00:01:17,822
Speaker 1: my daughter for making you start a whole month earlier

21
00:01:17,862 --> 00:01:20,422
Speaker 1: than planned. Yeah to all the listeners you will have

22
00:01:20,462 --> 00:01:22,862
Speaker 1: heard Claire Murphy on the show before. She covered for

23
00:01:22,902 --> 00:01:25,382
Speaker 1: me during some of my first maternity leaves. She's covered

24
00:01:25,422 --> 00:01:27,782
Speaker 1: the Crimes of Lucy let be which was one of

25
00:01:27,782 --> 00:01:31,262
Speaker 1: our most downloaded episodes to date, The Butcher of Begat's

26
00:01:31,302 --> 00:01:34,142
Speaker 1: name a few. She's an absolute pro and as she

27
00:01:34,262 --> 00:01:36,342
Speaker 1: just told you, well, she's a huge fan of crime

28
00:01:36,582 --> 00:01:39,662
Speaker 1: and interviewing and all things.

29
00:01:39,302 --> 00:01:44,422
Speaker 2: TCC I am. And as much as yes, we are

30
00:01:44,422 --> 00:01:47,982
Speaker 2: a whole month ahead of time, the beauty of knowing

31
00:01:48,062 --> 00:01:50,582
Speaker 2: that you're going on maternity leave is that you, Jemma Bath,

32
00:01:50,662 --> 00:01:53,622
Speaker 2: had laid some very good plans and you and our

33
00:01:53,662 --> 00:01:56,182
Speaker 2: producer Tarlie had put in a ton of work to

34
00:01:56,262 --> 00:01:58,902
Speaker 2: try and make my life easier. Sit down and do

35
00:01:59,022 --> 00:02:01,622
Speaker 2: a bunch of conversations already, So you're not going to

36
00:02:01,662 --> 00:02:06,142
Speaker 2: disappear entirely from true crime conversations. There's still a few

37
00:02:06,342 --> 00:02:09,222
Speaker 2: of these great conversations that you've had with people to come.

38
00:02:09,582 --> 00:02:13,462
Speaker 2: And then I will slowly take over as Jemma hangs

39
00:02:13,502 --> 00:02:17,582
Speaker 2: out with her gorgeous new little very early, very impatient arrival.

40
00:02:17,902 --> 00:02:20,542
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you'll hear me sprinkled throughout the year, and

41
00:02:20,582 --> 00:02:22,702
Speaker 1: then I will be back in twenty twenty six, and

42
00:02:22,742 --> 00:02:25,102
Speaker 1: I will not be having any more babies, especially early.

43
00:02:25,742 --> 00:02:27,862
Speaker 2: Are you sure you're too and done too and.

44
00:02:27,782 --> 00:02:30,182
Speaker 1: Done too and done, I'm too and done good to

45
00:02:30,222 --> 00:02:32,902
Speaker 1: know so. Thank you so so much, Claire, and I'll

46
00:02:32,982 --> 00:02:34,382
Speaker 1: speak to all the listeners soon.

47
00:02:34,702 --> 00:02:36,542
Speaker 2: Good luck on maternity leave, friend.

48
00:02:36,982 --> 00:02:37,902
Speaker 1: Thank you,
