  Judge, Jury - And Executioner 05.09.2026 1ч 31мин

  The feature-length Series 10 finale of The True Crime Enthusiast brings with it an almost surreal tale of abuse, murder, dismemberment, imprisonment, appeal, acquittal, mental illness, misguided revenge - and something called Project Tango.

  Voices - Part 2 20.08.2026 1ч 11мин

  Concluding here the story of Jason John Mitchell, who had, by 1994, been hearing voices constantly talking to him, in the second or third person, about his personal habits, the TV programmes he watched, the literature he read, the list goes on - voices that were sometimes welcomed but most of the time not, and that even though nobody else could hear them, were as real as anything else to him.But by December 1994, those voices had long since been telling him to kill - which over an 11 day period, after absconding from the hospital ward he was an informal patient at, Jason Mitchell was to do: To become a triple murderer...The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of mental illness, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

  The Time They Fingerprinted A Town 06.08.2026 1ч 14мин

  It was a daunting sounding task that had never before been attempted - the fingerprinting of every male in one of the largest towns in the UK. But back in May 1948, the murder of three year old June Anne Devaney had sickened even the most hardened detectives so much, that there wasn't an officer involved who wasn't prepared to give this his all.This time around, on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I bring you the story of the Blackburn Fingerprint Hunt...The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving a child, and including descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

  The Curse Of The Cup - Part 2: When Pickles Got FIFA Out Of A Pickle.. 19.07.2026 59мин

  Football fans from the UK - and across the world - held their breath for a week in March 1966 when the Jules Rimet trophy, more commonly known as the World Cup - was stolen from an exhibition in Westminster, where it had been on display. The possibilities were endless - had it been transported abroad, and was in the clutches of an unscrupulous millionaire? Had it been melted down, or had it been abandoned and lost forever?The answer came in the most unlikely of circumstances, and a hero who came on to save the day. Not all heroes have two legs.Some have four... Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

  A Sense Of Entitlement 02.07.2026 1ч 14мин

  A gift of £100,000 to buy a house, and £1,000 living allowance a month. The stuff the majority of us can only dream of, isn't it? But it's never enough for some, and combine this with deep-seated hatred, misconceived feelings of being unfairly treated, alcohol and the lockdown we all faced a few years ago, and one night in Dorset 2021 was to end in horrendous violence.And brutal, bloody murder.

  Open water is, for many people, their greatest fear, and being trapped within it must be terrifying - especially if you cannot swim to safety, to face your final, mortal moments like that.

  The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, or UNIFIL, has since its establishment in 1978 assisted Lebanese forces along the country's border with Israel to maintain peace, security, and ensure humanitarian access. In it's near five decades in existence, countless soldiers from nations across the world have lost their lives as part of these peacekeeping forces, and it is the Irish Army that holds the distinction, to date, of having the highest toll of casualties, with almost 50 service personnel having lost their lives as a result of enemy fire, unexploded ordnance and transport related incidents. Though every soldier knows and accepts these are very real risks, one October evening back in 1982, three of these Irish soldiers, deployed on peacekeeping duties, lost their lives as a result of something that no soldier ever, or should ever, expect.They lost their lives at the hands of one of their own.
