This week the girls take aim at real life Robin Hoods...
Ever wondered if Robin Hood was real or if the story was ever played out in real life by real people? If so, this is the episode for you! This week the girls discuss some tales of folks who have become known as a real-life Robin Hood.
But first, what were we drinking?
Sarah was drinking Buller Fine Muscat
Amy was drinking Left Hook Round One Rosé
Bianca was drinking Nobel Fellows -Baron Betsy pinot gris

Bianca opened with a shallow dive into whether Robin Hood was real or not... turns out no one really knows.
After that, she cracked into her real life, Robin Hood - Jacques René Mesrine. He lived an amazing life and petitioned for better conditions in the french prison systems.
Amy had planned on regaling our listeners with the tales of other Robin Hood types but came across the tale of Nakamura Jirokichi or better known as Nezumi Kozo (aka the Rat Kid). Rat Kid was a Japanese Robin Hood who, as the legend goes, stole from wealthy Samurai and gave to the poor. How much of this is true is questionable but it makes a great story.

Sarah ends the episode with the tale of Bulla Felix. Felix was a man who lived in ancient Rome who could have been the world's first recorded Robin Hood, but like so many vigilantes he had a not-so-happy ending.
