Nine Of The Best True Crime Podcasts

I started writing this week's True Crime Post and got myself lost down a rabbit hole. There is so much information about the case, that I want to make sure I capture all the information and do it justice. So this week, I will share some of my favourite true crime podcasts with you all. If you love True Crime like me then these are the podcasts you absolutely must subscribe to. Going West Started in 2018 and presented by husband and wife, Heath & Daphne, who discuss different US-based disappearances, murders and unsolved cases each week. I love the way Heath & Daphne bounce off each other and The episodes flow really well. Episodes are usually between 40 & 50 minutes long and are released every Tuesday & Friday and are available on all platforms. Case File True Crime This was the first true crime podcast I ever listened to and it's still one of my favourites. It started in 2016. The host is anonymous, which I quite enjoy. The show has solved and unsolved cases with episodes ranging between 1 and 2 hours. Episodes are released on 3 Sundays out of 4, with no episodes being released to the public, however, a bonus episode is released on Patreon. At the time of writing, they are on a midyear break, however, there are plenty of episodes for you to listen to. Seeing Red Hosted by good friends Mark & Bethan, who take it in turns each week to discuss a true crime and their theories. I love that they give their honest opinions on each case yet still manage to give the story from all sides. Episodes range from 30 minutes to an hour, covering a wide range of true crimes, including heists & scams and they are released on Wednesdays. They Walk Among Us This podcast was originally based on UK crimes but there are now two shows, one for UK true crimes and one for the US - They Walk Among America. Another husband & wife team, with Benjamin hosting the show and Rosanna, behind the scenes and they have also written a book. Episodes are between 30 and 90 minutes long and are released on a Wednesday. Evidence Locker True Crime Hosted by Noel Vinson, this podcast talks about True Crime from all around the globe. I love the way this is narrated, it makes this podcast different from the others. Episodes are around 30 minutes long and released every Sunday Blood Ties Hosted by father & daughter duo, Molly & Geoffrey Wansell, who have great chemistry. I enjoy their little catch-ups at the beginning of each episode where they discuss their week. Geoffrey is a writer and has worked for several well-known publications and has written many books, including a biography of Fred West. Episodes are released on Mondays and are around 30 minutes long. Trace Evidence Focusing on unsolved cases, including missing persons and the unexplained. Host Steven Pacheco h takes you through each case in depth and shares his own thoughts and theories with listeners, as well as any other known theories. He also talks about the families and the effect the crimes have on them. Episodes are around 60–90 minutes and are released on Fridays. The True Crime Enthusiast This started as a blog that writer Paul made into a podcast, which he hosts. I really enjoy his dry sense of humour and funny references to British culture. It's focused on cases in the UK & Ireland with the focus being on the lesser known cases. Episodes range from an hour to 90 minutes. The Trail Went Cold Hosted by Robin Warder, this podcast looks at unsolved mysteries and cold cases from various countries. Robin also gives us his thoughts and theories. Considering the topics covered, I find Robins voice very soothing. Episodes are 40 to 50 minutes long and are released on Wednesdays. Do you have any True Crime recommendations? ❤️

Is Success The Thing That Scares Us? Or Is It Failure We Really Fear?

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. - Winston Churchill If you fear failure, the above quote from Winston Churchill can be seen as comforting, failing at something can be a huge blow to our egos. But what if you aren't scared to fail? What if succeeding is the thing that scares you most? Failure is something that some of us are quite prepared for. Before we've even set out to do something, that voice in your head is already saying "it probably won't work out". We often prepare ourselves for the worst outcome to protect our fragile egos. If we fail, things will stay as they are and whether we are happy with our current situation or not, it is a lot easier to stay in a familiar situation. Of course, we don't want to fail, we'll feel rubbish about it, sometimes it means we can't do the things we had hoped for at the time, but ultimately, nothing has changed, and we can usually fall back into our old routin...

Dinner, Dancing, Sneezing & Sweating, Thankfully Not All In One Day

Last Friday, I woke up feeling full of cold. Great, just in time for the weekend, but I was determined not to let it get the better of me. I’ve been taking a long hard look at my to-do list and chopped it up a bit. I want to give myself the option to take weekends off from writing and learning and avoid putting too much pressure on myself. I was really looking forward to going out for dinner with our friend's birthday, to celebrate a birthday and there was no way I was going to let having too much to do or a poxy cold, get in the way. On Saturday, Toby, who I think is having an identity crisis and thinks he’s a cockerel, wakes us up yowling at the crack of dawn. There was no way I was getting up early, the cold combined with too much white wine the night, was not leaving me feeling energised. We had a wedding reception to go to that evening. Again, despite my feeling rubbish, I still wanted to go. It's just a cold, I told myself and went off to sit in the garden to get som...
