best British true crime podcast

...Micheal's quirky presentation style, which at first sounded ill placed, or even just ill!
But no, it's fantastic, warm, chatty, hilarious, a touch Rik Mayall, and so very polished.
Some very funny turns of phrase and asides but most fantasticly descriptive. The research is another level, subject choices gripping, and delivery wonderful.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

The very thing I thought would irritate me is the very thing that has endeared me to the show...

Very interesting and love the chatty style of narration! Laugh out loud with the random comments about noisy birds and passing policemen LOL

Been listening to this podcast for ages and it’s brilliant, interesting and funny. So many crimes in such a small part of London. Well worth a listen and it’s free..have to put up with ads though..

Another excellent true crime podcast

I love true crime but had never found anyone taking on really old cases until now. All the episodes are great but these ones have a special place in my heart!

Love the more historic episodes!
