Welcome Back Valkyrie’s! We need a palette cleanser from the last gruesome episode finale of Pee Wee Gaskins. So this week’s episode instead we will discuss a self proclaimed good old-fashioned con artist, who’s web of deceit spun far and wide as she stole identities, ruined credit scores, and drained bank accounts. With each new persona, she assumed the lives of others, exploiting vulnerabilities and manipulating systems. A tale of identity theft and deception that raises questions about security, trust, and the true cost of her cons. This is the story of Danielle Miller.

In this episode, there will be even more marriages and this is where Pee Wee takes a strong turn towards the darkside and begins his savage killings.

Welcome Back Valkyrie’s!

Last week we talked about fruitcakes, this week we move to ice cream, well the ice cream delivery trucks anyway. Did you know that in the 1980s, Glasgow’s ice cream trucks were embroiled in a turf war, marked by violence, intimidation, and even murder. It was a battle for control of the streets and the right to sell ice cream (and other things) to the local residents. This week’s story isn’t just about ice cream, its about power struggles and organized crime even. So as you hear the music of the ice cream truck coming down your street ready to sell you that delicious treat, remember in Glasgow in the 80s it was not nearly as sweet as it seemed.
