It's a really good podcast, but could be improved in the following ways: 1: Audio quality - could easily be improved with a new mic and some EQing. 2: Editing - the recent episodes have whole sentences repeated!

Live Interview With Author Jason Wilson at CrimeCon London
1786
At CrimeCon London last weekend, I had the pleasure of interviewing author Jason Wilson about his excellent new book, 'The Old Man And Me'. In front of a live audience, we chatted about why he wrote his book about growing up and living with his gangster father.
The book is no nonsense and talks about the reality of crime, not the glamourised versions you hear about elsewhere, and in this interview Jason was very open about his life. I hope you enjoy and there is link to the book below. Buy your copy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Man-thrilling-biography-understand/dp/1913406881 |

Imagine boarding a flight thinking you’re going on holiday, but instead you get taken hostage by Saddam Hussein.

In this new podcast you’ll hear directly from the hostages - the people used as human shields by the Iraqi regime. Listen to episode one here today. For episode two and beyond, you should go and search for The Secret History of Flight 149 in your podcast app. If you’re listening on Apple podcasts, then it’s also available ad-free on the Crowd Stories channel.

An Early Release: Episode 253

The intention was good. Prisons were filling up in 2007 and so the plan was to allow the early release of those prisoners not deemed to be a threat to the public. But when one man was released early, he was clearly still a danger as he demonstrated in the most terrible of circumstances.

On Facebook crime sites, there always seem to be videos of 'stings', where a bewildered looking man is confronted by a group of people taking the law into their own hands - usually, when the man has travelled to meet face to face with someone he believed to be a young girl from the internet.

Introducing 'The Apology Line' - from Wondery
401
If you could call a number and say you’re sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that.
This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn’t just listen. He had to do something, even if it meant risking everything. From Wondery the makers of Dr. Death and The Shrink Next Door, comes a story about empathy, deception and obsession. Marissa Bridge, who knew Mr. Apology better than anyone, hosts this six episode series. Listen today at http://wondery.fm/UKTrueCrime |

It was a strange experience for the detectives and forensics experts at dusk by the graveside as they began digging to exhume the body of the suspect. But the families of three young girls from the Swansea area, killed 30 years before, needed to be told for certain if this was the man who killed their daughters.
This two-part episode of the UK True Crime looks at the terrible murders of Geraldine Hughes, Pauline Floyd and Sandra Newton in 1973 and the efforts made to bring their killer to justice.
