Old Timey Crimey #42: Theft of the Irish Crown Jewels - ”Pulling a Shackleton”

 This week, we're diving into the misnomer-iest case of all--the theft of the Irish Crown Jewels! Or rather, the theft of the not-technically-Irish not-crown-jewels! We'll talk the circumstances of the case, possible suspects, and new developments even decades after the theft. 

Plus, don't miss: Irish pub names, the wonder of Antarctic cafes, and casting our new 70s buddy cop show!
