    A Bitter Revenge: Episode 437
    Mar 31 2025

    When Sean Wearmouth wasn't home from his night out, his mum June wasn't unduly worried. After all, he was 29 and he had been through a hard time recently with losing his job and the breakdown of his relationship with his partner. But when he still wasn't home as time ticked by and there was no contact, she reported him to the police as missing. But then days later, the dreaded knock on the door came from the police to say that Sean had been murdered...

    Murder In The Park: Episode 436
    Mar 25 2025

    It was just a normal evening as Sophie and Robert walked home after meeting friends. They stopped in the park to chat with some people they had met in the petrol station, but quickly the mood changed, and Robert and Sophie were subjected to the most terrible violence. The shocking events of the next few minutes would change so many lives forever.

Brilliant

I absolutely love these podcasts. The stories are detailed and interesting, & are delivered in an entertaining manner. I also enjoy the year and month game at the beginning of the podcasts, which sets the scene time-wise. Well done Adam!

Great show!

I thoroughly enjoy listening to these episodes. The fact that they are in bitesize portions makes them appealing for shorter car journeys and walks that I do. Or even when I am doing jobs around the house and garden. The detail is very good and if it is a more complex story, it will become a 2 part podcast. I first found them on Spotify, but now follow on audible. I can’t wait for the next new episode. Thank you.

A great variety

I'm new to this podcast and pleasantly surprised. As many "fans" of the genre - I'm not sure if fans is the right word - I find true crime fascinating, I detest the "exciting" delivery style on many a Netflix documentary that glamourises the crime and/or perpetrator.

In contrast, this podcast looks at at the details of the crimes covered in a much more measured tone and Adam always takes time to remind the listener of the victims and their loved ones.

He praises and admonishes the police as appropriate to the specific case. This is unusual as many I have heard will make excellent police work sound surprising.

I love the musical and historical context given at the start of each episode.

The advertisements were a bit of a shock as I usually listen to audiobooks and podcasts without them but I'm steadily working my way through them so it can't be that off-putting!

A brilliant addition to my week

I first came across this podcast on Spotify which was great for me but finding it here just makes me want to listen to every episode again!
I highly recommend if you are interested in true crime but prefer a short summary of cases, most episodes are 20 ish minutes so they're great for snapshots of events. Very easy listen!

Factual, Charismatic, Witty & Empathetic

Been a massive fan for a long time. I really struggle with American accents so this is my absolute favourite podcast!
The stories are well researched and to the point. The host adds a touch of lightness before and after the story which takes the tension off the content.
A podcast that 100% doesn't take itself seriously and is delivered with such empathy for the victim.
I just cannot recommend this more! 👌
