Welcome to The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, which started off life as a weekly written blog in 2016, and soon made the jump into a regular one man and his mic, matter of fact straight talking podcast. In it, the host Paul looks at and recounts in-depth true crime cases from the UK and worldwide - both solved or unsolved crimes, but more often than not the lesser known and obscure ones.
