Welcome to The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, which started off life as a weekly written blog in 2016, and has now made the jump into a weekly one man and his mic, matter of fact straight talking podcast. In it, the host Paul looks at and recounts in-depth true crime cases from the UK and Ireland - solved or unsolved crimes, but more often than not the lesser known and obscure ones.

Blame It On The Buck
We go back to mid World War II for the accounts I have brought this time on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, for two tales of brutal murder that involve dances, soldiers, 3 sent letters, a detective novel, two debts that never were - and a seemingly ficticious character.
And a tenuous link to both tales, hence the title.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of a sexual nature, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

From The Archives - Disfigured
I bring two horrific accounts from the north of the UK, Scotland, this time around in a reach into the shows Patreon archives, and in which we shall hear of the terrible deeds that some people can commit that leave a person with a living reminder of the evil they have inflicted upon them - to disfigure and maim them - out of perceived vengeance, or simply for their own weird kinks.
This is a change to the scheduled episode due to unforeseen circumstances.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Control
Everyone has a breaking point, don't they? We are off to Wythenshawe, in Manchester, this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, to hear a tragic, horrific tale of what can happen when a person is chipped away at, by a person who has control of them.
They can commit the most abhorrent, alien of acts.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Killing, For Killing's Sake
We head back to the early 1990's this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, and to the village of Marston-on-Dove in South Derbyshire, where I bring you an account of a crime that is as disturbing as it is senseless, and we meet a very dangerous individual, responsible for that most terrible of offences.
Murder without motive.

Crimewave: - Part 2
The concluding part of a two part hometown tale for me, and in which I tell you what exactly made Jordan Davidson, who over a few weeks had become the scourge of the city of Wrexham, as wanted as he was - for he had "gone up a level", to use his own words.
Gone up a level is an understatement.

Gripping
I tried multiple true crime podcasts prior to this. But TCE has been has been a real breath of fresh air. You can tell that Paul truly has a passion for telling people’s stories. The attention to detail is genuinely the best so far. Keep up the great work.
Best Wishes
James D C
Brilliant!
One of the best podcasts to listen to so much detail and effort goes into every episode they’re such a great listen every single one
Bring back crime watch!
I really love this podcast. It’s very well researched and detailed. Different lesser known crimes covered. Respectfully done, care shown to the victims. Their stories aren’t just here for our entertainment. Always good to remember that.
Add it to your library you won’t regret it!
