United Kingdoma month ago - Not a regular crime podcast
Been listening to crime podcasts for years and most of them become boring after a while but not this one. Different and professional approach.
My favourite now.
Apple Podcasts5NotforsalesUnited Kingdoma month ago - Excellent, thoughtful and respectful
This is by far one of my favourite true crime podcasts. Martin and Helen are both thoughtful and respectful, and allow their guests to speak without interruption or interjecting. Questions are well researched too. Thank you for an excellent listen!

I’m a retired murder detective.
I appreciate this may be a bit of a busman’s holiday, however I have been gripped. I am always dubious about true crime podcasts. However this one is a must listen.
Superbly researched, fascinating participants and factually spot on. No glamourising, no glorifying the subject matter, just fascinating insight into notorious cases, some of which I had the privilege of being involved in.
