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 regular 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 - both solved or unsolved crimes, but more often than not the lesser known and obscure ones.

Triangle Of Terror: Part 2 - Snared
Concluding the opening tale of Series 9, with the account of "The Fox" - how back in 1984 one man brought a wave of terror with his horrific crimes, not just to his hunting grounds in the South of England - but to the country as a whole.
How he was caught? I'll tell you in one of the most fascinating tales I have ever covered on the show.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of a sexual nature, and descriptions of animal mistreatment, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Triangle Of Terror: Part 1 - Foxhunt
Back with the first of a two part tale to start the brand new 9th series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, and for it, we head back to the summer of 1984, where for three counties of the south of England - Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire - a cloud of fear hung over them. A simple yet prolific burglar was to over the space of five months evolve disturbingly in his criminality, and create near hysteria in these parts, a terrifying offender who came to be known as The Fox....
It's good to be back with you.

TTCE's Series 8 - In Review
Ahead of the upcoming Series 9 of the show, I sat down and waxed lyrical about the series I've just completed, a brief summary of each, how and why I choose the tales I do, and what to look out for in the upcoming Series 9.
Couldn't do any of it without yourselves - you're the best in the world, and I thank you. Stay enthusiastic, me and the Peaks shall be back with you soon.

Double Jeopardy
The Series 8 feature length finale of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast brings a vile individual, a true monster who literally got away with murder once. And yet, circumstances do denote that the wheels of justice may turn slowly - but they do turn.
An individual whose actions you will never forget.

A Job Well Done
We all have relationships break down, some just run their course, and others end through the actions of one or the other person. The majority of people, whilst it may hurt at the time, do accept it is over, and eventually move on, learning from it. But there is also that share of people who struggle to do this, try as they might.
And then, there are some who can't, and who commit the most horrific, and atrocious of actions because they can't..
