Gráinne Maguire and the Wilma Montesi Mystery

<p>This week's guest is fantastic comedian, writer and political commentator&nbsp;Gráinne Maguire, who has appeared on Question Time, written&nbsp;on shows such as The Last Leg and who joins us on, among other things, a lengthy&nbsp;tangent about Easter as we try to pick apart a political scandal from 1950s Italy...</p><p><br></p><p>In April 1953, socialite and aspiring actress Wilma Montesi is found dead on a beach, with no real clues as to how she got there, or even how she died. A huge veil of secrecy is drawn over the whole affair which leads to much suspicion and whispers of an enormous political scandal in 20th Century Roman society...</p><p><br></p><p>At the <strong>Mystery on the Rocks</strong> bar you’ll find a retired sleuth, the bartender trying to settle his tab, and the down-on-her-luck lounge singer, solving mysteries and drinking cocktails. Each week a new guest enters the bar and attempts to solve an unsolved mystery alongside the regulars. Hosted by Masud Milas, Chris Stokes, and Sooz Kempner. It’s a high concept comedy and true crime podcast, set in a fictional crime-solving bar (with real cocktails!). The focus of the show is to attempt to crack a real, unsolved mystery from history – true crime and bizarre occurrences, all with a whodunnit or WTF happened question hanging over them. Masud makes the drinks, Chris tells the mystery and Sooz sings and plays live piano – and everyone chats and chimes in with their theories.</p><p><br></p><p>You can follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/MysteryOnTheRox" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mysteryontherox/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> too!</p><p><br></p><p>Produced by Chris Stokes, Sooz Kempner &amp; Masud Milas.</p> &#10;&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color: grey; font - size: 0.75em; '>See <a style='color: grey; ' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
