    The Trust That Led To Murder : Episode 560

    Amy Shepherd was a much-loved and independent woman who had made her home in sheltered accommodation in Bradford. She enjoyed a quiet life and had every reason to feel safe in her own home. But on one ordinary day, Amy was the victim of a truly shocking crime. The investigation that followed would take detectives down a number of different paths, raise some difficult questions and leave Amy's family waiting an extraordinarily long time for answers. This is a story about trust, betrayal and a determination to find justice, even when the years seem to be slipping away.

    War Games : Revisited

    Carradale is a village on the east coast of Kintyre, off the west coast of Scotland and looking over the west coast of the Isle of Aaron in the Firth of Clyde. The harbour at Carradale is sheltered and looks out at the deep waters of Kibrannan Sound and then the towering mountains of Aaron. It is a beautiful, peaceful spot and if you look carefully, you will see a small memorial plaque on the harbour wall, commemorating the crew of the FV Antares, who lost their lives at sea. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at just what happened to the FV Antares off the coast of Scotland. Note: This episode was originally released in April 2023.

    True Crime Catch Up - October 2026

    True Crime Catch Up is back with a brand-new episode, as I sit down with Stuart Blues, host of the British Murders podcast, for episode two of our new monthly series. If you haven't listened before, it's a chance for the two of us to get together and chat about different aspects of true crime, from individual cases to our own experiences of researching and presenting them. It's a slightly different format from our usual podcasts, with a more relaxed conversation, a few personal reflections and, inevitably, a few laughs along the way. Stuart looks at the fatal tiger attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, the disturbing murder of vulnerable man Michael O'Donnell, who was exploited and killed in his own home, and the tragic case of Reece Radford, who lost his life after stepping in to help a teenage girl. Meanwhile, Adam explores the fatal 1987 car crash involving actor Matthew Broderick in Northern Ireland, as well as the bizarre story from Scotland of Neil Young (not that one), whose dispute with a colleague over WhatsApp messages escalated into a violent confrontation.
