Apparently, if you go back far enough, we are all related to Charlemagne. 
Did you know he had a magic sword? Or that said sword is still around today?
Today we talk about the legend that surrounds Durendal, and it's 1300 year history. Fascinating stuff.

In the 1970's in Glasgow, a turf war between ice cream vans in Scotland turned deadly. 6 people died as a result, and the police were blasted for the way they handled the case, basically making the evidence fit the crime and going after the wrong people.
Corruption in the police was very widespread back then, at least they are a little more discreet these days.
Listen now as we talk about how Mr. Softee turned into Mr.Nasty!

The title says it all. This was a series of murders in the 1960's that were truly horrifying. Based in Oregon, Jerome Brudos went from foot fetishist to stone colld killer as he grew up. Even after his arrest, there were questions that remained unanswered, not least of which was exactly how much did his wife know?

The conclusion of this unconvincing (for me)  tale of a big fish in a little pond. This week we look at some of the search expeditions that have been carried out, and the results/evidence that has been uncovered.
Bear in mind also there have been many hoaxes perpetrated over the years, so we'll take a gander at some of those too.

I have avoided this one for a while, simply because I don't think it holds water. See what I did there?
It's not all about me, though, so finally we talk about Nessie. As it happens, there's quite a lot to talk about, so it became a 2 parter.

Not the actor, but Britain's longest serving prisoner. 
Originally sent down for petty crimes and robbery, Charles manages to keep extending his sentence in imaginative and sometimes frightening ways. 
Now 71 years old, his story is sometimes amusing, sometimes sad and definitley there is a feeling that although he was a violent man, he never commited a murder, and should be considered for release. 
In a time where a man convicted of rape can get himself sent to a womens prison because he now calls himself Shirley (where he will rape again), it does seem a bit harsh to keep an old man locked up for being a bit naughty.
Still, you can make your own mind up by listening now!
