  • Solid, entertaining, no-nonsense podcast

    A good solid, no-nonsense, entertaining true crime podcast with very congenial host.The rUK egional accent actually gives the delivery added charm. Time-wasting preliminary segments have thankfully been disposed with, raising the ranking to five stars.

  • Poorly researched

    Listened to a few episodes but had to unfollow for a few reasons. The presenter has the dullest delivery so if you’re looking for a monotone voice to send you to sleep then this might be for you. However his cringeworthy fake scouse accent in the Robert Maudsley will give you nightmares. It was embarrassing. I have a keen interest in crime & was disappointed to hear several sensationalist “facts” that have long been debunked. The whole show is an embarrassment.

  • Great listen

    Being a northerner myself now living in Australia, it’s great to hear a familiar voice! The detail, understanding, sympathy and sensitivity Stuart delivers in each episode is truly something to be admired. A brilliant podcast.
