I’ve just finished ‘The Set’ on Spotify and it was brilliant.
It’s about a corrupt NYPD precinct that ran wild in their posted area. Corruption from top to bottom and the eventual downfall of the crew that were involved. They’ve managed to get interview with some of the officers that were involved too, which is interesting.

BBC Limelight is great. Each series is 5 parts from a different writer, usually with a good twist at the end. There are a few dodgy seasons but the Burke and Hare series is ace.

Series one of Good Assassins is another favourite. It documents the true story about the nazi hunters in Mossad.

There seem to be a lot of fantastic podcasts on BBC at the moment.

Yeah some really good drama on the Limelight feed.

Enjoying Good Assassins, thanks for the suggestion. The ads are absolutely relentless though, always a downside with these more commercial podcast companies.

Retired policeman turned stand up comedian Alfie Moore presents It's a Fair Cop where he swears in a studio audience to be cops for the night and tackle real life crime situations. This is the Christmas special:-

The image of Baskerville the enormous police dog wearing a Christmas doggy jumper and reindeer antlers made me chuckle.
