Speaker 1: You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. Mama Mea acknowledges
Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and worts. This podcast was
Speaker 1: recorded on Hi everyone, Jemma Bath here, host of True
Speaker 1: Crime Conversations, coming to you from maternity leave. I had
Speaker 1: a baby, and while I was supposed to be recording
Speaker 1: this message to you all from the studio while still
Speaker 1: at work, my little girl decided to come five weeks early,
Speaker 1: and so here I am coming to you from my
Speaker 1: house in my absence. The show is going to be
Speaker 1: in the fabulous hands of my friend and colleague, Claire Murphy,
Speaker 1: the host of our new women's health podcast. Well, Hi, Claire,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for our filling in for me early.
Speaker 2: Jemma Bath, your child's arrival could not have come at
Speaker 2: a more inconvenient moment. But I'm very, very glad to
Speaker 2: be stepping into your shoes because we all know how
Speaker 2: much I bloody love True Chrime Conversations, one of my
Speaker 2: favorite podcasts in the world, So thank you for letting
Speaker 2: me handle it while you're away.
Speaker 1: My absolute pleasure and my absolute apology from me and
Speaker 1: my daughter for making you start a whole month earlier
Speaker 1: than planned. Yeah to all the listeners you will have
Speaker 1: heard Claire Murphy on the show before. She covered for
Speaker 1: me during some of my first maternity leaves. She's covered
Speaker 1: the Crimes of Lucy let be which was one of
Speaker 1: our most downloaded episodes to date, The Butcher of Begat's
Speaker 1: name a few. She's an absolute pro and as she
Speaker 1: just told you, well, she's a huge fan of crime
Speaker 1: and interviewing and all things.
Speaker 2: TCC I am. And as much as yes, we are
Speaker 2: a whole month ahead of time, the beauty of knowing
Speaker 2: that you're going on maternity leave is that you, Jemma Bath,
Speaker 2: had laid some very good plans and you and our
Speaker 2: producer Tarlie had put in a ton of work to
Speaker 2: try and make my life easier. Sit down and do
Speaker 2: a bunch of conversations already, So you're not going to
Speaker 2: disappear entirely from true crime conversations. There's still a few
Speaker 2: of these great conversations that you've had with people to come.
Speaker 2: And then I will slowly take over as Jemma hangs
Speaker 2: out with her gorgeous new little very early, very impatient arrival.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you'll hear me sprinkled throughout the year, and
Speaker 1: then I will be back in twenty twenty six, and
Speaker 1: I will not be having any more babies, especially early.
Speaker 2: Are you sure you're too and done too and.
Speaker 1: Done too and done, I'm too and done good to
Speaker 1: know so. Thank you so so much, Claire, and I'll
Speaker 1: speak to all the listeners soon.
Speaker 2: Good luck on maternity leave, friend.
Speaker 1: Thank you,
