Love this podcast, have been listening a while. Although true crime content, it covers the whys & wheres & is presented intelligently & thoughtfully. There have been more chats with fiction writers of late, which have been really enjoyable. Loved the chat with Lee Child & his slant on the world of writing, came across as a very unpretentious man.
Introduced to this podcast from Naomi Channels’ podcast ‘Real’ - also o brilliant listen if you like this one. Robert provides an immersive and respectful narrative to some heavy subjects, addictive listening.
Started listening after Robert appeared on Crime Analyst. Fascinating podcast, well researched and let's the victims and interviewees tell their story in their words.
Heard Roberts episode with Naomi on Real and am so glad I came across this podcast. Just listened to the Penelope Jackson episodes, brilliantly told. Thanks. A new listener!
This podcast is interesting and treats its subject matter with a sensitivity that is rare in true crime. It’s not flashy. The interest comes from the cases themselves and the interviews with the people involved. The episodes with crime writers are a nice treat.

A deep exploration of the motivations behind criminal behavior is the centerpiece of this podcast, which invites listeners into the complex world of true crime. With insights from detectives, victims, experts, and sometimes the criminals themselves, the discussions often touch on questions about morality, societal influence, and what drives individuals to commit heinous acts. The show also emphasizes storytelling, blending personal accounts with investigative reporting to shed light on both notorious cases and lesser-known incidents that deserve attention. This unique approach is supported by Robert Murphy's background as an award-winning journalist, making the content not only engaging but also rich in context and perspective.
