England's great storm of 1703 – one of the worst natural disasters ever – and female pirates of the Caribbean Anne Bonny and Mary Read are also on the meaty agenda.

Its introduction alone plunges you into the minutiae of life in the city's Dorchester suburb, before promising 'radical nuns in combat boots and wild-haired priests trading blows with J Edgar Hoover's FBI, in a hellbent effort to sabotage a war'. Stirring stuff. Alexi Duggins Widely available, episodes weekly Crooked Media's new true-crime podcast – available in Italian and English versions – unpicks the curious case of Roberto Calvi, AKA God's Banker, who was found hanged under a bridge in London in 1982.
