    Even from Canada this podcast is on one of my go to’s. I love the guess the month and year game. I sometimes get it! And the fact that they are short. And informative is probably why I like it so much. More like a quick news case than anything else. It’s what I choose to listen to actually when I’m getting ready for the night while I’m winding down

  • So glad I found you!

    Kia ora from New Zealand, I’m from Buntingford (Herts) but have lived in NZ since 1989. I really enjoy British true crime stories so was very happy to find this brilliant podcast today.

    I’ve listened to 4 episodes so far while cleaning!

    It’s very well written and narrated with a nice touch reconnecting us to the year/date of the crime at the episode’s start.

    So even after just a few hours I’m saying thank you Adam! Have 5 stars!
