It will be suitable for a general adult audience interested in forensic linguistics and true crime and also for schools audience groups (GCSE / A levels). The podcast it self contains more adult themes (but nothing that they won't have watched on Netflix) but the live event won't be explicit.

22nd August - so we walked up to the memorial at the top of Bosworth Field.
Of course about 30 years after it was built the archaeologist showed they’d put it in the wrong place - he died in the swamp at the bottom of the hill, like Shakespeare said.
And then got buried in the Leicester car park

This is an exciting new arrival.
An update to Larry Solan and Peter Tiersma’s seminal 2005 book “Speaking of Crime”
A couple of years ago Larry involved Tammy Gales in writing a second edition, in memory of Peter. And sadly with Larry’s death last year, Tammy was left to finish the job.
