0:00:11.582 --> 0:00:16.142
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. Mama Mea acknowledges

0:00:16.222 --> 0:00:19.662
<v Speaker 1>the traditional owners of land and worts. This podcast was

0:00:19.702 --> 0:00:23.542
<v Speaker 1>recorded on Hi everyone, Jemma Bath here, host of True

0:00:23.542 --> 0:00:27.862
<v Speaker 1>Crime Conversations, coming to you from maternity leave. I had

0:00:27.902 --> 0:00:30.662
<v Speaker 1>a baby, and while I was supposed to be recording

0:00:30.662 --> 0:00:33.302
<v Speaker 1>this message to you all from the studio while still

0:00:33.302 --> 0:00:37.222
<v Speaker 1>at work, my little girl decided to come five weeks early,

0:00:37.382 --> 0:00:39.142
<v Speaker 1>and so here I am coming to you from my

0:00:39.262 --> 0:00:42.582
<v Speaker 1>house in my absence. The show is going to be

0:00:42.622 --> 0:00:45.942
<v Speaker 1>in the fabulous hands of my friend and colleague, Claire Murphy,

0:00:46.662 --> 0:00:50.662
<v Speaker 1>the host of our new women's health podcast. Well, Hi, Claire,

0:00:50.662 --> 0:00:53.262
<v Speaker 1>thank you so much for our filling in for me early.

0:00:54.182 --> 0:00:57.022
<v Speaker 2>Jemma Bath, your child's arrival could not have come at

0:00:57.062 --> 0:01:00.302
<v Speaker 2>a more inconvenient moment. But I'm very, very glad to

0:01:00.302 --> 0:01:02.262
<v Speaker 2>be stepping into your shoes because we all know how

0:01:02.342 --> 0:01:05.382
<v Speaker 2>much I bloody love True Chrime Conversations, one of my

0:01:05.462 --> 0:01:08.222
<v Speaker 2>favorite podcasts in the world, So thank you for letting

0:01:08.262 --> 0:01:09.702
<v Speaker 2>me handle it while you're away.

0:01:10.462 --> 0:01:14.062
<v Speaker 1>My absolute pleasure and my absolute apology from me and

0:01:14.142 --> 0:01:17.822
<v Speaker 1>my daughter for making you start a whole month earlier

0:01:17.862 --> 0:01:20.422
<v Speaker 1>than planned. Yeah to all the listeners you will have

0:01:20.462 --> 0:01:22.862
<v Speaker 1>heard Claire Murphy on the show before. She covered for

0:01:22.902 --> 0:01:25.382
<v Speaker 1>me during some of my first maternity leaves. She's covered

0:01:25.422 --> 0:01:27.782
<v Speaker 1>the Crimes of Lucy let be which was one of

0:01:27.782 --> 0:01:31.262
<v Speaker 1>our most downloaded episodes to date, The Butcher of Begat's

0:01:31.302 --> 0:01:34.142
<v Speaker 1>name a few. She's an absolute pro and as she

0:01:34.262 --> 0:01:36.342
<v Speaker 1>just told you, well, she's a huge fan of crime

0:01:36.582 --> 0:01:39.662
<v Speaker 1>and interviewing and all things.

0:01:39.302 --> 0:01:44.422
<v Speaker 2>TCC I am. And as much as yes, we are

0:01:44.422 --> 0:01:47.982
<v Speaker 2>a whole month ahead of time, the beauty of knowing

0:01:48.062 --> 0:01:50.582
<v Speaker 2>that you're going on maternity leave is that you, Jemma Bath,

0:01:50.662 --> 0:01:53.622
<v Speaker 2>had laid some very good plans and you and our

0:01:53.662 --> 0:01:56.182
<v Speaker 2>producer Tarlie had put in a ton of work to

0:01:56.262 --> 0:01:58.902
<v Speaker 2>try and make my life easier. Sit down and do

0:01:59.022 --> 0:02:01.622
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of conversations already, So you're not going to

0:02:01.662 --> 0:02:06.142
<v Speaker 2>disappear entirely from true crime conversations. There's still a few

0:02:06.342 --> 0:02:09.222
<v Speaker 2>of these great conversations that you've had with people to come.

0:02:09.582 --> 0:02:13.462
<v Speaker 2>And then I will slowly take over as Jemma hangs

0:02:13.502 --> 0:02:17.582
<v Speaker 2>out with her gorgeous new little very early, very impatient arrival.

0:02:17.902 --> 0:02:20.542
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so you'll hear me sprinkled throughout the year, and

0:02:20.582 --> 0:02:22.702
<v Speaker 1>then I will be back in twenty twenty six, and

0:02:22.742 --> 0:02:25.102
<v Speaker 1>I will not be having any more babies, especially early.

0:02:25.742 --> 0:02:27.862
<v Speaker 2>Are you sure you're too and done too and.

0:02:27.782 --> 0:02:30.182
<v Speaker 1>Done too and done, I'm too and done good to

0:02:30.222 --> 0:02:32.902
<v Speaker 1>know so. Thank you so so much, Claire, and I'll

0:02:32.982 --> 0:02:34.382
<v Speaker 1>speak to all the listeners soon.

0:02:34.702 --> 0:02:36.542
<v Speaker 2>Good luck on maternity leave, friend.

0:02:36.982 --> 0:02:37.902
<v Speaker 1>Thank you,
