Welcome to episode 7! This week Taylor brings the tragic love story of Oscar Wilde & Lord Alfred Douglas - she also says "Posh" and "Velvet" approx 98324 times. Farz takes a spin on the 'relationship' podcast part of our show and talks about two friends who were both marginally bad guys but when they put their heads together and purchased a horrifying murder van, they became the Toolbox Killers.
