    Just A Normal Saturday Afternoon: Episode 444
    May 20 2025

    It was just another normal Saturday afternoon at the meadows just outside Aylesbury. There were dog walkers, joggers and families enjoying their time together in the sun. But in the middle of the afternoon one man wasn't there to enjoy himself. He was angry. He was carrying a knife and was determined that he was going to 'harm someone'...

    A Terrifying Attack: Episode 443
    May 12 2025

    At ninety years old, Mary Lewis was a recent widow who had lived a very good life. She had worked hard and played a major role in her community through the church, and was a very popular person in her part of Shropshire. So just why would someone attack and murder Mary in such a brutal way in her own home?

    "Why have sex in the room below Patrick?" : Episode 442
    May 5 2025

    Gillian Johnstone was twenty-three when she landed a job with the Civil Service in Grays, becoming an Executive Officer at the Department of Social Security. Originally from Scotland and excited with the thought of her new job, she moved into a bedsit in Dagenham, Essex, close to her new place of work. Life at this time was good for Gillian – she was enjoying her new employment and her new home and she also enjoyed spending time with her boyfriend, Gary. But one other person in the house, Patrick Keane, took exception at something so incredibly minor and innocuous. But due to this, he made her life a total misery for the next decade....

I absolutely love these podcasts. The stories are detailed and interesting, & are delivered in an entertaining manner. I also enjoy the year and month game at the beginning of the podcasts, which sets the scene time-wise. Well done Adam!

Brilliant

I thoroughly enjoy listening to these episodes. The fact that they are in bitesize portions makes them appealing for shorter car journeys and walks that I do. Or even when I am doing jobs around the house and garden. The detail is very good and if it is a more complex story, it will become a 2 part podcast. I first found them on Spotify, but now follow on audible. I can’t wait for the next new episode. Thank you.

Great show!

Best true crime

I'm new to this podcast and pleasantly surprised. As many "fans" of the genre - I'm not sure if fans is the right word - I find true crime fascinating, I detest the "exciting" delivery style on many a Netflix documentary that glamourises the crime and/or perpetrator.

In contrast, this podcast looks at at the details of the crimes covered in a much more measured tone and Adam always takes time to remind the listener of the victims and their loved ones.

He praises and admonishes the police as appropriate to the specific case. This is unusual as many I have heard will make excellent police work sound surprising.

I love the musical and historical context given at the start of each episode.

The advertisements were a bit of a shock as I usually listen to audiobooks and podcasts without them but I'm steadily working my way through them so it can't be that off-putting!

I first came across this podcast on Spotify which was great for me but finding it here just makes me want to listen to every episode again!
I highly recommend if you are interested in true crime but prefer a short summary of cases, most episodes are 20 ish minutes so they're great for snapshots of events. Very easy listen!

A brilliant addition to my week

Been a massive fan for a long time. I really struggle with American accents so this is my absolute favourite podcast!
The stories are well researched and to the point. The host adds a touch of lightness before and after the story which takes the tension off the content.
A podcast that 100% doesn't take itself seriously and is delivered with such empathy for the victim.
I just cannot recommend this more! 👌

Factual, Charismatic, Witty & Empathetic
