Hostesses Miss Ruby Wilde and Miss Mei Day combined their love of vintage fashion with their passion for forensic science on this collaboration, Vintage Homicide: A True Crime Podcast. We will be taking you through case histories from our unique perspectives as forensic scientists, examining evidence and the various historical analytical methods that may have been used. Episodes of Vintage Homicide will not only include discussions of bizarre and intriguing historical cases of murder but case narratives will be intertwined with commentary about vintage fashion, ephemera from that period in history, or vintage elements surrounding the cases.
