- Episode 164: Peter Sutcliffe - The Yorkshire Ripper - Part 1
It's the first instalment of our deep dive into the case of serial killer, Peter Sutcliffe, better known as the Yorkshire Ripper. We explore his childhood and early life, which to no one's surprise was abusive and strange. We also examine the social atmosphere in Yorkshire during his reign of terror, and the early attacks that set off a years-long investigation. This series also takes a hard look at the police missteps that let a predator stay hidden in plain sight and how that failure shaped public trust and modern policing in Britain.

45 min - Episode 163: Extra Credit 56 - The Crossover Episode
We’re bringing you a mix of the bizarre, the brave, and the bleeding edge. We cover the strange and tragic case of a British woman who contracted rabies from a dog scratch abroad, spotlight the unforgettable life of LGBTQ icon, fashion trailblazer, and WWII war hero Bunny Roger, and dive into some mind-blowing advances in prosthetics and robotic skin that are equal parts cool and concerning.
We usually drop Extra Credit episodes every second Wednesday, but this one’s coming to you on a Saturday since Charlotte is out of the country for a couple of weeks. Thanks for bearing with us and for tuning in wherever you are!

38 min - Episode 162: The Murder of Fanny Adams
Today we’re exploring one of the most heartbreaking and historically significant cases in British true crime and an Old Timey Crimey to boot. The 1867 murder of 8-year-old Fanny Adams. What began as an ordinary summer day in the quiet town of Alton quickly became a national nightmare, and the name “Fanny Adams” would go on to take on a haunting legacy. We walk through the events of that day, the shocking discovery that followed, and the trial that helped shape the way murder cases were handled in the Victorian era. This is a difficult but important story that left a lasting mark on history.

28 min - Episode 161: MORE Lesser Known Cryptids
We’re back with even more cryptids you may not have heard of, but probably won’t forget. In this unofficial part two of our lesser known cryptid series (see Episode 149 for Part 1), we dive into the murky waters and wild folklore surrounding Mokele Mbembe, the NASA Gargoyle, the Mapinguari, and the absolutely baffling Trunko. From dinosaur sightings in the Congo to mysterious monsters crashing space missions (maybe), we’re talking all things strange, sketchy, and slightly squishy.

38 min - EXTRA CREDIT EP55: She Plotted, He Escaped, and Someone Else Just Needed a Dentist
In this Extra Credit episode, we’re covering a range of stories that caught our attention this week. We have an update about the sentencing of Victoria Goodwin, who tried to hire a hitman to kill her husband, Aaron Goodwin, of Ghost Adventures Fame. We also look at the case of Grant Harden, a former police chief convicted of murder and other just as heinous crimes, who escaped prison with help from a corrections officer, and a much lighter story about an inmate in Sweden who snuck out of prison to go to the dentist...and came back. We wrap up with the tragic accident that led to the death of hockey player Adam Johnson, and a quick discussion on the strange world of true crime memorabilia, including an uncomfortable exhibit featuring Rose West's unmentionables shudder.

25 min - Episode 158: Fred and Rose West: A Marriage of Monsters - Part 2
In Part 2 of our series on Fred and Rose West, we delve deeper into their twisted partnership and the horrors that took place inside 25 Cromwell Street, the so-called "boarding house of horrors." We explore how the couple lured their victims, often trolling local bus-stops, the escalating violence, and how one of their living victims came incredibly close to burning it all down herself.

40 min - Episode 157: Fred and Rose West: A Marriage of Monsters - Part 1
This is the first episode of our series on Fred and Rose West and we're diving right in. This is one of the most disturbing and haunting cases in British true crime history. Fred and Rose weren’t just serial killers, they were a couple who committed their crimes together, turning their family home into a house of horrors.
In part one, we are going back to the start; looking at Fred’s troubled past and rough upbringing as well as Rose’s own deeply dysfunctional childhood, and how the two came together to form a relationship built on violence, manipulation, and control.
