  • #294 - Sheer 'Bloody' Ignorance (‘Robyn’ Browne, Fitvrovia, UK)
    Apr 24 2025

    On Friday 28th of February 1997 sometime after 7pm, at 6b Gosfield Street, a brutal and bloody attack on a lone sex-worker occurred in this first floor flat. Barely reported in the newspapers and ignored by television, the murder of ‘Robyn’ Browne is a case which was largely forgotten… yet the truth of what happened could be hidden among a scattering of facts, being drenched by a deluge of bigotry, racism and fear which helped derail the investigation.


    • Date: Friday 28th of February 1997 after 7pm (time of murder)
    • Location: First Floor, 6B Gosfield Street, Fitzrfovia, London, W1
    • Victim: 1 (James Darwin Errol Browne , known as 'Robyn')
    • Culprits: 1 (James Hopkins).

  • #292 - One of Life's Winners (Peter Wickins, Gordon Topen, UK)
    Apr 10 2025

    Saturday 19th of December 1992 at 2:20pm, behind a wooden hut at White City bus depot off Caxton Road in Shepherd's Bush, the body of 32-year-old successful Peter Wickins was found, he was naked except for a pair of socks and had been stabbed 19 times.


    The Police assumed because he was a millionaire dressed in a tuxedo and that his Rolex watch was missing, that it must be a robbery gone wrong. But it led to a story which was much darker, as one of life’s winners... met one of life's losers.

Super Well-Crafted Indie Podcast

The host is very passionate about telling the victims' lives. He puts a lot of time into researching, and crafting a story that's captivating and fresh. My favorites are the series where he can really go in-depth. This is an indie podcaster who's doing it right!

Marvellous podcast - this true crime series

I do admire the hard work put in by Michael - he has such passion and dedication - in each and every one of the episodes. The amount of research he does is astounding. He’d tell us - many of us being his avid listeners - when he has to go off to do his research, share with us his thought process, his opinions, what he goes through in his daily life (well, in a way), his apparent countless diets, his claimed love affair with luminous French actress Eva Green, his fascination with cakes, biscuits and such
Discovered this brilliant true crime podcast series when I had watched snippets of the Operation Mincemeat movie which starred Colin Firth where the plot involved using a corpse to carry false military secrets. How they obtained the corpse intrigued me and fortunately, someone in the comments section heaped praise on Michael’s podcasts as he had covered an episode on this corpse - Glyndwr Michael. How Glyndwr met his death was tragic. It was wrongfully labeled as ‘suicide poisoning’ but Michael had worked very hard researching this. He walked us through on how Glyndwr Michael met his eventual and early death. Poor bloke - to think his death served his country well and not his life.
Michael’s brilliant podcasts are weekly and I always look forward to them.

Very well done

Very detailed with lots of research put into every episode. I love the witty comments worked into the description of places and/or people. One of the best podcasts I have found!

Cannot stop listening!

I love the way Mike narrates the story of each ( the criminal and the victims). It is well narrated and research, so much different to other podcast out there! It keep you want to listen until the very end. The extra mile is fantastic! In here you will get extra information about the crime but without an script, it is like sitting and chatting with a friend. I Just cannot have enough of this podcast!
