- A bit of a let down
Finding this podcast so very basic unfortunately . Nothing new to added to cases which have been covered thousands of times. You could do a quick google search yourself on any of these cases and discover more info.
Also, the who thing sound’s completely rehearsed-not conversational/candid, my guess is it’s read from script. And the information shared, especially in the Myra Hindley episode, I found to be incorrect. A lot of things mentioned about the case were wrong.
It’s a shame because I mu... more

United Kingdoma month ago - Exceptional podcast
Forensic, thoroughly researched, detailed commentary on some of the most controversial cases in UK legal history. Both journalists are so interesting and bring a wealth of experience and context to the show.
Apple Podcasts5KorrerogurlUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Interesting but odd guest
Having a guest (Howard?) say of Myra Hindley that it wouldn’t have done any harm to eventually let her out. What? It isn’t about if she would re-offend. She tortured children. I would seriously question this guy for saying something so incredibly strange & inappropriate. He then called her remarkable. Please don’t have this weirdo on again
Apple Podcasts3Miss203United Kingdom2 months ago - A Different Take on True Crime
Can’t get enough of this podcast. The hosts complement each other very well, each with their own unique perspectives and personalities. They give both a tidy overview of the particular subject and some in-depth detail, which they deliver in a thoroughly enjoyable package (considering the subject matter). Well done, Helen & Martin. Also, I could listen to Helen talk all day… what a voice.
