All families have squabbles from time to time - it's human nature. But sometimes, a squabble exists only in the mind of one family member, and when they become obsessed that they are right, wild horses cannot change their mind - sometimes, it borders on paranoia. The tale this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, a horrific tale from Manchester back in 2016, shows just what horrific consequenses paranoia can bring.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

"Everybody needs good neighbours" noted the theme tune of a popular 1980's Australian soap opera, and indeed, the majority of us do go on to have those good neighbours, that do become good friends - again, as the theme tune of the soap claimed. But not always. For one family living in Nottingham back in November 2022, there was to be nothing of the sort next door, except a nightmare - and a killer.

Concluding the opening tale of Series 9, with the account of "The Fox" - how back in 1984 one man brought a wave of terror with his horrific crimes, not just to his hunting grounds in the South of England - but to the country as a whole. How he was caught? I'll tell you in one of the most fascinating tales I have ever covered on the show.  The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of a sexual nature, and descriptions of animal mistreatment, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

Remembering all those affected. 

Back with the first of a two part tale to start the brand new 9th series of The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, and for it, we head back to the summer of 1984, where for three counties of the south of England - Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire - a cloud of fear hung over them. A simple yet prolific burglar was to over the space of five months evolve disturbingly in his criminality, and create near hysteria in these parts, a terrifying offender who came to be known as The Fox.... It's good to be back with you.

Remembering all those affected. 

Ahead of the upcoming Series 9 of the show, I sat down and waxed lyrical about the series I've just completed, a brief summary of each, how and why I choose the tales I do, and what to look out for in the upcoming Series 9. Couldn't do any of it without yourselves - you're the best in the world, and I thank you. Stay enthusiastic, me and the Peaks shall be back with you soon. Paul (TTCE)

Remembering Linda, Maria, and Julie

We all have relationships break down, some just run their course, and others end through the actions of one or the other person. The majority of people, whilst it may hurt at the time, do accept it is over, and eventually move on, learning from it. But there is also that share of people who struggle to do this, try as they might. And then, there are some who can't, and who commit the most horrific, and atrocious of actions because they can't..

Remembering Sally and Martin

Christmas is traditionally a time of joy, that time of year where you catch up with friends and loved ones, enjoy the festivities, swap gifts and watch children bask in the excitement of it all. For most, it's a happy time of year, but for some, it can be the darkest. For one tragic family in County Kilkenny, in Ireland, Christmas time indeed is their darkest of times - this one being the 15th in a row for them. This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, I shall tell you exactly why. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving  descriptions of a sexual nature, and involving children, that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.
