  • It’s alright…

    Not the worst, not the best. Light touch true crime for that little fix. I enjoy the guess the year at the beginning, but other than that the story and format is basic. I joined the Facebook group out of curiosity but that was “meh”.

  • Totally enjoyable

    I’ve been a listener for a while and recently became a patreon as I could not get enough of Adam’s episodes.

    I’ve started back in 2017 and even back then, your professionalism and narrative of the episodes are top notch.

    You have a lovely voice Adam and I thank you for your excellent and enjoyable podcast.

  • Jacqui Ross

    As an avid true crime podcast listener, this was one of the most inspirational podcasts I’ve listened to. Michael sounds like a wonderful man and he was a joy to listen to, even if the situation was so horrible. A brilliant and respectful episode.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lost Evidence. Unanswered Questions. The Death Of Ed Cornes - Conversations : Episode 2/4
Q: Why did the investigators initially arrest two men and later drop the murder charge?
There was significant inconsistency in the evidence and statements, and the inquiry revealed missteps and biases that led to the murder charge being dropped as investigators struggled to establish a clear link to Ed's death.
Lost Evidence. Unanswered Questions. The Death Of Ed Cornes - Conversations : Episode 2/4
Q: Can you tell us what happened when the detectives first broke the news to you that Ed had died?
The detectives arrived with the news in a way that was shocking and numb; they could not initially tell us the details, which left the family in a state of confusion and disbelief.
Bonus Episode : Inside the Suzy Lamplugh Investigation: Interview With Ex-Detective Mike Barley
Q: Do you think the case can ever be solved, and what would it take?
Barley expresses that the chances are incredibly slim unless multiple former inmates come forward with corroborated information, stressing that a definitive resolution would likely require new, verifiable testimony or the discovery of a body.
Bonus Episode : Inside the Suzy Lamplugh Investigation: Interview With Ex-Detective Mike Barley
Q: What was it like interviewing John Cannan, and what did you learn from him?

Bonus Episode : Inside the Suzy Lamplugh Investigation: Interview With Ex-Detective Mike Barley
Q: Hi Mike, why did you decide to tell this story now, after 40 years?
