I wanted to post this podcast on the 30th anniversary of the unsolved murder of Melanie Hall on 9 June 1996. I know Bath well having lived there during the 1980s. This is the story of Melanie Hall's disappearance and murder. The police have the case open and are asking for help in solving the crime.

Told in one take without editing with all the usual faults.

This podcast is based on Eric Dingwall’s private papers that became available to view by the public during October 2025 at London University. It is about the R101 that crashed in October 1930, and resulting seances and investigations into the crash and the resulting Official report.

This podcast is recorded in one take, (in the garden) without edit and is a lo-fi production.

This case has just made national news headlines. It was not widely reported at the time or when the trial started but police worn body cam footage was reminiscent of the Black Lives Matter case when George Floyd Jr restrained by police said he could not breath and was ignored by police. In this case Henry Nowak a Southampton University Fresher was the victim.

Windrush Men, Marriage and Murder” examines a series of domestic homicide cases involving Caribbean and African migrants in postwar Britain during the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing on police files, psychiatric reports, witness statements and court records, it explores how jealousy, marital breakdown, sexual insecurity and fears of abandonment were understood within the social pressures of migration and the Windrush era. The cases reveal recurring themes of emotional dependency, masculinity, racism, economic strain and changing gender roles, while also exposing how British courts and psychiatrists often treated so-called “crimes of passion” with sympathy.

This podcast will be niche. It is an in depth assessment about the Society of Psychical Research’s investigations into three famous mediums of the 1920s. Eva C., also known as Marthe Béraud or Eva Carrière, and Mina Crandon, better known as Margery and Dorothy Stella Cranshaw, aka Stella C. Most people will find it dull, although quite shocking in places; but I enjoyed researching it.

This podcast is recorded in one take with no editing. I probably mispronounce some words. There may be some background noise, chickens and there is a nightingale singing outside in the rain.

Something a little different in this podcast, an unsolved murder in the Dordogne. Karen Carter was murdered in April 2025 at her home in a small French village. A couple of months earlier a British couple were killed about 100n kms away and there were similarities. This was also an officially unsolved murder.

This is a curious case. July 2023, a car mounts a pavement and crashes into a school injuring a number of people and killing two 8 year old girls who were all standing on a lawn in the school grounds. There seems to be a news blackout after initial reports.

A year later, 2024, The Crown Prosecution Service says there will be no further action as it was a result of a medical emergency. There was public puzzlement, two girls killed, ten people injured, no-one held responsible?

April 2026 it was announced that there was a reinvestigation, the original police officers investigating the case are also being investigated for gross misconduct and the CPS are reconsidering their decision.

This all against a backdrop of suggestions of one law for the rich and another for everyone else.

During the 1980s there were at least 10 pre-teenage and teenage boys that went missing from South London. This podcast is a reflection on what may have happened to them, the focal point is the case of Kevin Hicks who went missing on Sunday 2 march 1986 from Croydon.
