Happy Christmas!

I am often asked questions about the UK True Crime Podcast, including why I started, why am I interested in true crime, what trouble has the podcast got me into, do I dislike the Kings of Leon really, what is my view on the police in 2025 and many more.

I am again joined by Grace, host of the excellent RedRum Podcast as we talk about the murder of Michael O’Leary, a Welsh father who vanished after being lured to a remote location by his killer.
