  • You Deserve A Medal For That!

    You Deserve A Medal For That!
    Nov 11 2024

    Rememberance Day - a day where we should each give thanks, respect and thoughts to those who through their sacrifices are why we have the freedoms we do today. To be proud. The countless former and serving members of the Armed Forces who each display the medals that they have earned do so with this in abundance, recognition of such sacrifices and bravery they have each earned.


    And yet, there are many people who also do this - but without the commitment, hard work and bravery that it takes to do so, they simply embellish or even act out a fantasy, basking in glory that they have not attained - as you shall come to see here.


    The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find offensive or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

  • Are You Sure You're Legal?

    Are You Sure You're Legal?
    Nov 6 2024


    I used to watch a great sci-fi show back in the 90's called The Pretender, about a genius who could become anything he wanted to be, fit into any walk of life, which he used to do to help people. The people we will meet this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast are in no way geniuses though - for some people don't let trivialities such as qualifications or aptitude get in their way - and instead, rely on a bit of shopping, the gift of the gab, and more front than Brighton to get by.


    For this time around, we look at some of those pretending to be THIS side of the law.

    The Farmer Wants A Better Wife
    Oct 22 2024


    "E AH A DE OH - The Farmer Wants A Wife" goes the old nursery rhyme. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head to Hertfordshire and back to 2018, where we will hear the tragic tale of a farmer who, if he could have, would have certainly wanted a better wife.


    One who, along with her lover, wanted nothing more than him dead.

    A Nightmare On May Street
    Oct 14 2024

    We head to the East Yorkshire city of Hull this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, where one bright April evening in 2016, the resident of number 9 May Street got the shock of her life as she peered into the garden of the neighbouring property.Amongst the various clutter and discarded rubbish in the garden was a duvet.


    Out of which, was poking a human leg....

  • Blood Feud

    Blood Feud
    Oct 7 2024


    If a person makes an enemy, the chances are that the circumstances or events that has led to such a thing will not extend further than a series of harsh words exchanged, occasionally a physical confrontation, and a years long, perhaps lifelong dislike of that person. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we head to Liverpool and back to 2008 for a tale of a feud that festered over years, and led to the most horrific and tragic of circumstances.

  • Man With A Past

    Man With A Past
    Sep 23 2024



    Evil, once it is inside a person, never really goes away - it may remain dormant for many years, but it is always there. To the horror of a Peterborough family back in 2018, the evil that was dormant in one such individual stirred with the most horrific of consequences - at the same time, reactivating the nightmare that a Derbyshire family had spent almost four decades trying to deal with.


    The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a vulnerable adult and a child, and including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

  • Killer In Uniform

    Killer In Uniform
    Aug 11 2024
    There are countless memorials to the brave personnel of the Armed Forces scattered around the UK, but one of these, in Surrey, contains the names of several service personnel whose military service is overshadowed by one thing - the execution each faced for the heinous crimes they committed, not as an act of war, but as a case of murder. This time around, I bring you the tales of two of these.

    The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening. There is also a racial slur used within the episode, and it should be stated categorically that the use of this does not reflect the views of myself or the show, it is featured merely because it is relevant to the tale in question.
