Co-horts! We have reached season 19 (!), leading it with one of our “Quartet of Creeps”–UK style! We have stories of creepiness from the worlds of entertainment, punditry, and a tale about an Irish woman who really disliked her British boss. These stories are more of an overview than a deep dive into shitty behavior, and we always reserve the right to revisit any or all of them as solo episodes.
Trigger warnings: Sexual assault, murder, racism, sexism, transphobia, and general assholery.
