I find him a whining and unfunny bell-end...

I once fell snapping my leg in three places.

That was funnier.

The Crossbow Killer on BBC Sounds isn't finished yet but it's well done. Who knew a Land Rover Discovery could be such a snitcher.

Then I've been back listening to Casefile with its seemingly endless archive of true crime podcasts.

Case 104 Mark and John. An extraordinary tale of young friends who meet on MSN Messenger. Inconceivable, improbable, implausible... and yet true.

And case number 60, Jonestown. A comprehensive telling of the Jonestown massacre tale in three episodes. Required listening for any wannabe cult leader.

Try avoiding any spoilers and listen to Case 54 on Daniel Morcombe. It is very well presented/produced.

Their Jonestown episodes are the best doco ever made on the tragedy, I recall listening to the last episode on the tractor cutting the grass and having to stop just to take in the enormity of it all. Truly harrowing.

Their episodes on the EARONS or Golden State Killer was something else too, made before he was caught. It made me reinstate our house alarm and I still set it every night to this day because of that podcast.

Another one that properly shocked me being a father was case 59, Amy Lynn Bradley. It properly gave me nightmares that one.

Just listened to all available episodes so far on the BBC series - I'm assuming there is one left to properly wrap things up.

Proof (pardon the pun) if need-be that between mobile phones, new car tech and ANPR / CCTV if is very hard to find a excuse against that kind of detailed evidence.

Good podcast - chilling to hear the injuries inflicted by such a weapon though.

Whoever recommended Necronomipod would really enjoy the Let Them Fight podcast.
It's a very similar setup, incredibly offensive, funny, entertaining.

Give the episode on Richard Chase a try.

Thanks, Checkout 216, The Itzkovitz Family, should be made into a film. If ever a Casefile episode outcome could be described as brilliant, this is it.

That was really good and still sounds like so much to come out about the builder. All PH'rs must have spotted the glaring misnomer about the stealing of the Discovery and the Police's assertion that it couldn't have been stolen without the keys though!

Yes! I thought this too. Seems like a pretty basic thing to get wrong, hardly the smoking gun they made it out to be.

Have you googled him? - Wyn Lewis - I'm not sure you'd class him as a builder - just a shyster / opertunist ripp-off merchant.. but he must have had some connections..

.. The part I don't understand The chap that got a 31 year sentence.. now 3 years in.. he must have been paid (or had been agreed to be paid to do it... very high probability it was the the horse rustler / builder - Wyn Lewis that put him up to it... if that is the case, why didn't he confess? - pretty sure it would have have lessened his sentence, or at least been looked upon favorably.. why was everyone so keen to protect Wyn Lewis?

Could be as simple as the shyster (I’m not naming him on a public forum) saying to the killer it was him (the deceased) who did a runner with the money.

But he didn't own the killer any money - and isn't that a bit of an over-reaction / absolute solution ie: what ever money he was trying to reclaim wouldn't be forthcoming once he's dead anyway.

I’m thoroughly enjoying the crossbow killer series and enjoying the speculation.

I know I’m repeating myself but Case File 76, Silk Road three parter is still the best.

working my way through some of these - as suggested above: Case 104 Mark and John... I had to stop half way and check it was an actual real case! madness.

It’s so very obviously all about money, what I’m meaning is that the con man was taking all he knew for whatever he could get.

He’s maybe taken the killers money and blamed the old man.

Maybe the killer was also defrauding people, maybe the old man turned off the cash taps.

Was listening to "The Rest is Politics" today and it has started to annoy me. Alistair Campbell has always been a bit biased in his views but Rory Stewart used to provide some checks and balances. Now he mainly lets the obvious untruths and snide slurs slide.

';m amazed that anybody would think Alistair , or Rory. come to that, are some sorts of beacons of impartiality. Of course they're not, and that is what makes the podcast so much fun to listen to . I find myself agreeing with AC some of the time, and Rory rather more so. Bu it doesn't matter - agreeing with somebody isn't a precondition to enjoying it. We get The Spectator and although the politics is miles to the right of where I am , I enjoy the read , as do many other centre/ lefties I know.

The high performance podcast is really good, interviewing people at the top of their game and asking how they got there and what their non negotiable sin life are
