White Wigs and Red Dirt

Judges, lawyers and a press pack make the long journey to Pitcairn and the trials begin. Journalists are summoned to a meeting of all the women on the Island at Big Fence as they argue that their men are innocent, and there are claims that the trials are a British conspiracy to reclaim Pitcairn. A punishment for the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789, revenge on Pitcairn, being a dish served well and truly cold.  Listen to episodes of The Pitcairn Trials exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, or Apple Podcasts, or Spotify.
