1:20
loss by an hour the saving ball first
1:23
round we can ask God to guess. Festival
1:25
does have something in the world of true
1:27

1:29
moment. I'm Megan, a chess about it set
1:31
set off with grace over to aggress. Thanks.
1:34
Adam and yes so I I wanted
1:36
to talk a little. There are dive
1:38
in and a D pend own is
1:41
talk a little bit about the ethics
1:43
of to crime Am I think it's
1:45
an incredibly complex and multilayered subject to
1:48
think we see that issue come up
1:50
through various types of true crime content.
1:53
And I recently. I.
1:55
Guess the conversation recently and
1:57
came to my mind because
1:59
of a couple of Drama
2:01
Hydration the series like The
2:03
Jeffrey and. Jeffrey Dahmer at
2:06
drums has a Sin on the Ted Bundy
2:08
with i think it was sack of from.
2:11
I'm on a mention those two
2:13
specifically because I remember the backlash
2:15
the I saw on social media
2:17
and mainly relating to not get
2:19
in consent from the victims or
2:21
the families of the victims and
2:24
I think. With big budget
2:26
production like those of you see they
2:28
have budget, they have teams, they can
2:30
afford time, a resource to put money
2:32
into the area and and often times
2:34
they still dying and I think for
2:37
us all is true crime. Content Creators
2:39
is something that we probably have all
2:41
sorts about and I am. I've got
2:43
lots of sorts and I would love
2:45
to hear what you what everyone thinks
2:47
and if he's dealt with it in
2:49
in the Making of your Content. First
2:54
poet you think. Might. Be
2:57
the gum or has been very
3:00
controversial. Conceivably
3:02
to to be put you on
3:04
the because it's true. World
3:07
famous case. If you like. An
3:09
old. Trying.
3:13
To get for least trying to get. Consent
3:16
from victims of someone from. A
3:19
few towns. Didn't. Do It.
3:21
As as truthful moves in the
3:23
public domain as possible on c
3:25
of abuse of example from the
3:28
Uk feed me be said about
3:30
move to trying See these months
3:32
I was be recently of. Or
3:34
think it was a seven of a park
3:36
conversation. But the Yorkshire Ripper. Was been
3:38
all. Along shudder
3:41
know. You. Gonna watch it
3:43
because. If you True Crime podcast
3:45
from So Evans and Crimes you think.
3:49
I. Was caught homeless say I was
3:51
quite disappointed with it. Because.
3:54
It's supposed to be. Banging.
3:56
On about it being about the victims.
3:59
And yet. Would say. One episode
4:01
of The Law. Was about
4:03
the victims there was one victim
4:05
the mist and was won't let
4:07
him because the name long completely
4:09
and. I. Think she's of
4:12
us on forgivable because them
4:14
are still so many people
4:16
surviving relatives of. Of
4:18
these poor women and. For. Not.
4:21
To make mistakes like not old to be
4:23
deliberately. I. Think his own forgivable
4:26
so. I think it can
4:28
be. It if it. If it's. True
4:30
to the public main, it's it can
4:32
be Fabulous Pope. Ah, sensationalism.
4:35
Know. Baton
4:37
I wouldn't watch it. I'm a
4:39
lot the darn thing because. Well.
4:42
As well. As well I think any right.
4:45
Yeah. I think I think that's such
4:47
a great point out said. I wonder I
4:49
wonder how much time and effort was put
4:51
into especially that as he say i haven't
4:53
and watched that one. The as you say
4:56
about the person he was just completely messed
4:58
up hasn't let I got the name wrong
5:00
is it is that really simple thing this
5:02
eight sleep is Arnold. A lot of it
5:04
felt most. You. Know it was more of
5:06
our. It was more of our
5:08
the Fella plain old field. You know
5:10
when I think the second victim was
5:12
the one focused upon. With. The
5:14
family life because. Arguably
5:17
was like of buried celebrated
5:19
doctors. Recommend remain humble folks.
5:21
Moved to town and. You
5:24
know, because of star caliber as in the
5:26
show that he was gonna. Make. This
5:28
episode about for the. Other. One
5:31
of the rest of the. Victims, You
5:33
know what? That was. my bunk bed. With.
5:36
I was a bit like. A
5:39
Certified what are your thoughts? I I
5:41
think especially with Tv there's always a
5:43
problem. Is that A. Supposed.
5:46
In a wheel of True Crime and with
5:48
Russia about and we want to do it
5:50
justice. not just for the story, not just
5:53
for the families, but T V is that
5:55
if you think about it it's by and
5:57
statements and money. And when they
5:59
commit. Things are this: It's. They
6:01
don't her rent them and say. He
6:04
go A: you've got however many years you
6:06
want to write in research. This is literally
6:08
as they will say right? Well you you
6:11
on this budget for this year. You need
6:13
to have it delivered within. Six.
6:15
Months so that's always. The problem is is
6:17
that they're never gonna have the time to
6:20
do it when they need to unless the
6:22
unless. Have done the research way in advance
6:24
and it's already a as you say that
6:26
Yorkshire Ripper if it's based on a book
6:28
in the evidence is a leg great. She
6:31
can just turn, You could just dramatize it.
6:33
but sometimes the know I am. As Paul
6:35
said, you know there was a. A
6:37
documentary on the Camden Ripper on Channel
6:40
Five of us about three or four
6:42
years ago. Same again, they got the
6:44
name to the names of the victims
6:46
wrong. And you just go. How
6:48
can you do that? How can he
6:51
surely someone at some point look to
6:53
this and said. Is. This correct,
6:55
but they don't? They just trust the people to make
6:57
it and. The
6:59
wonder a deadline and the that's not the way
7:01
you should be making. Programming.
7:04
About. The most
7:06
harrowing moments in a person's life,
7:09
of which their families are still
7:11
there and still grieving. Even
7:13
if is nineteen seventies, the still grieving. I
7:16
just to get misty. Some people whose families died.
7:19
In the forties. And. The
7:21
upset. And. You think? That's.
7:24
Eighty. One hundred hundred years go coming up
7:26
to and the still upset and rightly so so
7:28
it has to be. Does he say ethics Have
7:31
to be right? And.
7:33
And your favorite M I Five O'clock am
7:35
I say about the ripple effects of murder,
7:38
Laughing Generations and a what are your thoughts
7:40
on this? The I agree with I have
7:42
one said if if interesting we have to
7:44
think. That these
7:46
people they make these shows. They.
7:49
Don't make them to be factual,
7:51
They make them for pure engagement
7:54
entertainment and to sell advertising as
7:56
by the that sounds so to
7:58
them. The same as
8:00
when people say common you'd fighters they
8:02
allow for margin of error and these
8:04
people do with roll it over the
8:06
curve on the given them visit and
8:08
I think that's why a it relies
8:10
on those as a people who who
8:12
truly care to make sure we put
8:14
the effort in and we do the
8:17
research we make sure. That. Even
8:19
when we do make mistakes and way I
8:21
see on on straight I'm sure I've won
8:23
here to fame I've had. A
8:25
family members of one of our topics
8:27
one of my cases contact me as
8:30
hates me How you got the vetoes
8:32
org. A few little
8:34
details and. I was mortified
8:36
on the facing their side with okay. Educate
8:39
me tell you all go wrong and on A
8:41
so we police are bought. And.
8:43
That's where he sort of rv for the
8:46
face the only way to truly make a
8:48
change. His lead to make sure that we.
8:51
Do. Wise rise. So people who listen
8:53
to us than once the same thing
8:56
from the big companies go Wow, they
8:58
don't allow these Must. Must.
9:01
Publish who don't really care one way or
9:03
the over his lungs is entertaining them to.
9:05
Carry. On that killer in a belief. I.
9:07
Agree it didn't. You know what I say? You're
9:10
right though. If. We
9:12
can't focus on getting a right and
9:14
hopefully the big companies will, but I
9:16
think I think is also have a
9:18
big problem in true Crime podcasting as
9:20
well whether it's big companies like wondering
9:22
or of little guys. Isabella I was
9:24
listening to her upon Pocus for one
9:26
to the other day and they got
9:28
so much wrong. And yet.
9:32
There's quite a few podcast kind of of olive
9:34
oil and get things wrong as one in disco
9:36
how did you know? Check that. Like it. if
9:38
it's a complicated detail, I get that. but if
9:41
it's like it. As we say of Victims Night,
9:44
How can anyone get I wrong us the i think. I
9:47
think, especially with True Crime podcasting,
9:49
nothing is too many people who.
9:52
And. I know we all know this. They come into this
9:54
because they want. Money. And fame.
9:58
For. The not into this because they. Believed.
10:01
Because they because they love true crime is
10:03
they want to get it right. And a
10:05
thing like Mike are you try to favor
10:08
vanilla Rice's i'm podcast about shirk our wasn't
10:10
phone some shoes off. I am. I haven't
10:12
heard that. what is a good. Or.
10:14
Ethnic. the matching Katya this with them I wonder
10:17
is quite interesting. Set a goal the names com
10:19
that did. They still managed to find the tons
10:21
by necessity have pets and yet said. Oh
10:23
god yeah, cause of yet he is. If
10:25
I didn't I was listening to. I used
10:27
to listen to no such thing as a
10:29
station. Yvonne praises they research, And.
10:32
It was only. Like I'd listen
10:34
to the episodes and like of the that's
10:36
Fast they know it's amazing, it's Berlin and
10:38
it was only when they started getting subjects
10:41
which I knew a lot about like unfortunately
10:43
volcanoes and coal mining so ask me why
10:45
but I know a shit law by a
10:47
back up and I realized from an interesting
10:50
see the you must use an avid don't
10:52
digital when it When I was a teenager
10:54
do my A levels of do A level
10:56
English and the was two questions in there
10:59
about at volcanoes and coal mining and a
11:01
got really excited and started writing. And
11:03
esta one hour Forty five minutes of a two
11:06
hour exam. I went. Spock.
11:08
Cisco do with a receptionist and then
11:10
I realized I was just whine about
11:12
volcanoes. As
11:14
which is why I failed my english salem.
11:18
A lot of like a great them got see
11:20
much time on these subjects that maybe the so
11:23
round off the move your thoughts on this that
11:25
we as may be true com Traces should be
11:27
thinking about and forward. Oh saw
11:29
an ad that's actually a really
11:31
good point I think because I
11:33
battle with that with every case.
11:36
I I mean I think it's
11:38
something I from point system has
11:40
been an mean encouraging actually enhances
11:42
the work that I make and
11:44
I'm I'm sure and Five renounces.
11:46
Wow and I think. The.
11:49
Thing I really settled with. At the
11:51
beginning I made a decision on and
11:53
I'm sticking to that decision. Is
11:55
ah the questions will not about
11:58
whether I would contact. Families
12:00
of victims to I wish to I
12:02
was talking about and I made the
12:04
decision quite early on. other than two
12:07
cases are covered to not contact and
12:09
the families and the reason I did
12:11
that was because I read an article
12:14
on how to pull costs or something
12:16
about someone who had contacted. A.
12:19
Family member of the victim. And
12:21
I had they had said i don't
12:23
want to talk for and actually you
12:25
just emailing me brings up and bring
12:27
that to the for friends and obviously
12:29
that to climb. Poor Costa was mortified
12:31
to have done that. But you can't
12:33
predict how people are gonna respond. you
12:35
can't predict your face. It is a
12:38
i think it's it aside invasion of
12:40
privacy to that level and I still
12:42
think consent of out on this of
12:44
large exceptions is really important especially as
12:46
with such a lot when you get
12:48
name's wrong when you is getting really
12:50
basic facts wrong as wow I'm. By
12:53
I think in my work and
12:55
an independent to climb forecast world
12:57
of I've made the decision to
12:59
not contact families and I don't
13:01
know if it's the right decision.
13:03
it's something I think about quite
13:05
law and I've I've come to
13:07
terms with and made decisions I've
13:09
made an fighting it some he
13:11
was you constantly think fountain currently
13:13
combat chase and if there is
13:15
a case for example one of
13:17
the any case are covered with
13:19
a survivor of domestic and of
13:21
abuse incident as she. Was really up
13:23
for talking to me as use really got
13:25
the other covering the case because she wanted
13:27
to raise awareness of it Sitting there are.
13:30
Examples like that that we can all take
13:32
from and probably all learn a lot from
13:35
them in his wife. useful to talk to
13:37
people have been treaty thing and especially if
13:39
we haven't the yeah I think it's it's
13:41
something to continuously think that we can. I
13:43
send movie. I saw of
13:46
it doesn't win Every so we we talk
13:48
about this for like five hours cause metics
13:50
so much to talk about fit in. Instead
13:52
we're going to move on. I'm going to
13:54
go to Envied again without know and is
13:56
being to Sables said and the over here.
13:59
Sir. Actually I'm quite got us
14:01
for say grace because mine ties in
14:03
nicely with yours. I want to talk
14:06
about on the report crimes or report
14:08
in the sense of the victim under
14:10
reporting them but also owned report from
14:12
the likes of Olds or. Am
14:15
media outlets not reporting them So I will
14:17
give you a little example but and go
14:19
into my should be so for example if
14:22
it isn't about like for their crimes. Think
14:25
about say the Enron scandal
14:27
or Bernie my made off.
14:29
Oh. You hear about is. How
14:32
the mighty have fallen! How.
14:34
If he was powerful and now they're
14:36
I've encountered that we're still so think.
14:40
Tens of thousands, sometimes millions in these
14:42
cases of people's lives were ruined. but you
14:44
never hear a single thing about these and
14:47
and resemblance. To bring this up and I'm
14:49
guess I'm a christian and made only
14:51
Adam his. Eye on the
14:53
base crimes a really important to me.
14:56
And in the Uk and a roundabout mistress
14:58
in the Uk it's it's just not report
15:00
on or when a report on he support
15:02
on wrongly as a reason for the crimes
15:04
and I'm say on a base I know
15:07
people don't my that way but I always
15:09
described to even them on in these crimes
15:11
to support this I'm glad I and. My.
15:14
Question is. Is.
15:16
Essential to reform. Nice. Because.
15:20
You don't true crime story so
15:22
it it's not like a to
15:24
the audience is about education in
15:26
for mean and sometimes I use
15:28
an advocate for change so how
15:30
we have as podcast is a
15:33
unique ability to shape probably conversation.
15:35
A. Tip eighth in situations exactly like
15:37
a fund to bring to the forefront
15:39
issues that often out over knows for
15:42
how do we do this while keeping
15:44
engage and make people want to listen.
15:49
My. Thing county that I'm him
15:51
inside. About Some things women reported
15:53
like not. I think it would
15:56
depend on how quickly detected if
15:58
it's a domestic Saturday. I'm.
16:00
Straight away, someone's arrested for it.
16:03
It will make headlines in the paper the
16:05
next day. And then probably
16:07
not until the trial. Manuals.
16:10
A year later, On. It's
16:12
easy for gone it's like
16:14
to yesterday's know tomorrow's fish
16:16
and chip rapper. You know
16:18
is it is it's own internet like book
16:21
from the fuck Have you ever given example
16:23
False I say offer. Found a base trying
16:25
to last us. And died
16:27
off a memory. oblivious. Every
16:30
over day. Usually a
16:33
a girl or female at
16:35
a woman dies in the
16:37
Uk. Wanna buy all of
16:39
a strivers? Yeah if that.
16:42
The amount of people die every year, yet how often
16:44
you hear about it? Yeah. That's
16:47
not that's my on the things will
16:50
make more headlines. The Brothers. I mean
16:52
there's a sort of there's a. There's.
16:55
A familiar sight are the moments.
16:57
is it seems like in Norfolk
16:59
I believe it is it. It.
17:02
Seems a little news is that
17:04
with my family, two children and
17:06
on woman fungi to stop games.
17:09
And has it sounds like a familiar sight
17:11
on it. Happens much more often than. You'd.
17:14
Ever really wanna believe?
17:16
book? It's it's only
17:18
the odd things that make headlines
17:21
and. I say or do
17:23
things. As awful as a sometimes
17:25
I think it depends on the vic. I.
17:28
Do think it depends on the victims is a
17:30
reason why. Things.
17:32
Like model in the county more. Famous
17:34
than all the all the children
17:36
go missing. Since. Then.
17:39
He now. It's
17:46
the as interesting as much as. It.
17:49
Is interesting. I was. Working.
17:51
On. A.
17:54
Case where a school shooting today. The when
17:56
you think of school shootings, you instantly think
17:58
of Dunblane. I'm
18:01
not too far away. some dorm as wells.
18:04
And how many people remember Dormers Wells
18:07
school shooting? They're. Probably
18:09
most people have never heard of. Any fact, most local
18:11
people have never heard of it, but he was eight
18:13
years prior. And I
18:15
I think that's another thing. Even
18:18
the Dunblane was tragic and. You
18:20
know we change that gun laws based on
18:23
that. Which. Was right. Like.
18:25
Dorms Wells to noted: some guys
18:28
when into school with assault weapons
18:30
since died unloading. That. Was
18:32
a years earlier and do when we
18:34
talking about why we focus on some
18:36
victims in the others. Interesting. I
18:38
was talking to someone today and they said just have
18:40
interest to. Were the victims in
18:42
the school of a certain demographic mode
18:45
yet was a nation school? And.
18:47
The when. Or. There. There. It is. Why
18:50
don't you? Why? Why do we focus on. Some.
18:53
People in the others while some I had
18:55
a thing is that phrases need that the
18:57
the less dead. Which
18:59
a continent who was the American criminologist. He
19:01
talked about it, but he said. If
19:04
you have eat at a young. Attractive
19:06
young girl from a respectable family
19:08
Like you said, with Madeline Mccann
19:11
and. We're more likely to focus on
19:13
that, whereas if it's a. A
19:15
young. Unattractive. hate that word
19:17
black boy from a poor family? Will they
19:20
really get the coverage that they need in
19:22
order to solve the case and to get
19:24
the attention that they need to help them.
19:27
I think it's it's it's a bad
19:30
thing that the press do and it's
19:32
something that. I think we
19:34
we need to clamp down on ourselves as an
19:36
audience and same. Why
19:38
you telling us about one story, not the other? Where
19:41
he is that? My pilot for my Instagram
19:43
about a year ago with To Escape I
19:46
looked at the i was posted pictures of
19:48
victims cove the story. And
19:50
it was a very whites in the ground I
19:52
was looking at. So you're right it is on
19:54
us is why this mess Christ what are your
19:56
thoughts on this? Yeah I. Tightening gray I
19:59
think. and. I think in
20:01
this incense and are many instances I think
20:03
you've got we've got ask ourselves what the
20:05
level of change we want to create so
20:07
unlike how do we do that as he
20:10
say adam if you look on your Instagram
20:12
of the pictures of their cases you're covering
20:14
and you see a an incredibly and. Like.
20:17
One demographic, whatever is being in
20:19
your instance white. I. Don't
20:21
know men, women and the of
20:23
he saw the ass. I think
20:25
we have to think that how
20:27
we change satisfy ourselves but also
20:29
how we in intend to talk
20:32
about change which andy you pull
20:34
up. I think it's winning pointer.
20:36
To. Start these discussions like having this
20:38
discussion discussion my hours with a
20:40
youthful but also. Having
20:42
to think about in the episodes or
20:45
if if we cover a case that
20:47
is an a domestic abuse case of
20:49
a young asian woman other charities that
20:51
specifically support that that type of person
20:54
that demographic that people we've had these
20:56
things happen to them to my face
20:58
different barriers or challenges in their lives
21:00
in Kansas seeking help or in terms
21:02
of it than to the coming under
21:05
reported an undue we can we talk
21:07
to our audiences about that and I'm
21:09
sure we might phones to fight is
21:11
later but for. Example: Paul Coffin.
21:13
It's quite hard to do that
21:15
because there's less is a T
21:17
when I saw of Form City.much
21:20
easier on Eugene. For example on
21:22
tic toc on Instagram on a
21:24
says things are the odds the
21:26
Us any noticed his wow. Dependent
21:29
on what kind of channel on I'm
21:31
on, the more discussion there is an
21:33
and then there's options for I don't
21:36
know, like even linking a charity in
21:38
the description box below and. Push.
21:40
Your audience was that they can have a read
21:42
on. it is gonna. Potentially.
21:45
Give you a level of change that you wouldn't have
21:47
a seat Indiana. Indiana.
21:50
We get me wrong, I'm a final source.
21:52
What you posted today. Certified.
21:55
You has one earned those. Yeah, I. Agree
21:57
completely with your of in a perceptive.
22:00
Space we the charity based around on
22:02
the base the. Abusing kill him
22:04
than the only do. It was a good to
22:06
give him exposure. I see when you switch from
22:08
work. While. You spoke about.
22:11
About the Fx, they were able to give
22:13
me information I couldn't find myself and specifics
22:15
I couldn't find myself. so he was. It
22:17
was a win win situation. They got a
22:19
exposure and I could be more accurate. So
22:21
yeah, think. I think he shifts.
22:24
At how do we do this? I think we just need
22:26
to. Maybe. Sometimes look at
22:28
a set we might not necessarily.
22:31
Automatically. Want to go towards and then
22:33
see what we can do to. To
22:36
promote the the backstory rather than
22:38
just talk about the one individual
22:40
case. I could
22:42
find a thank you and I said
22:44
five en masse. Watching the thing with
22:46
evening this one store in the Uk
22:48
has been dominating our minds has meant.
22:52
That is not about see and was his. I'm
22:54
the man to say left backs and his family
22:56
Not that one. it's the other one. Post.
22:59
Office have a might give should be able. What
23:01
was what the hell's going on at the post
23:03
office. I'm in. oh
23:05
god it's It's interesting cause I listened
23:07
to the Private Eye podcast and a
23:09
ton of private I asked i can
23:11
do to work with a kind of
23:14
the second group is in banging on
23:16
about this absolutely ages and. It's
23:19
It's fascinating that it has taken. A
23:21
Tv drama in order to make those in
23:23
charge of let's be honest about this. Yes
23:25
you got the post office but they are
23:28
owned by the government so this is government
23:30
run so it and it's then put under
23:32
the laws in place. It's amazing that it's
23:34
it's got to this point where we have
23:36
to wait for I T V to make
23:38
a not particularly great drama the okay for
23:40
us to go we need to sort this
23:42
out and certainly thing to work in. His.
23:46
Do. You guys feel the same to fill that. This is. Too
23:49
late. One not too late that he should have
23:51
been done twenty years ago. Yeah,
23:55
yeah, yeah and I do. I'm surprised
23:57
the dramas taken so long to me.
24:00
You. Don't actually would have been a couple
24:03
years before. But. I
24:05
gotta I gotta say personally. It
24:07
makes me never wanna use the
24:09
post office again. It's an absolute
24:11
disgrace and. I. Was hung.
24:14
Prosecution is. It. Got not
24:16
what it would likely. He. Can but
24:18
hope I target will. Oh. That's
24:21
how it should be. Yeah. Absolutely
24:23
disgraceful to be the rich painful protect in
24:25
a rich people when it. Did
24:28
it or anything. I've read my blog. I've
24:30
ever a blog about the executive bonuses for
24:32
the post office bought it is safe. Twenty
24:35
five percent of it was based on haven't
24:37
scratched my the inquiry and they set with
24:39
Iran propriety but they made it clear that
24:41
a big and permissions get that part pay
24:44
that off the boat as and it was
24:46
wellness else information that they'd They said he
24:48
didn't die that. They died. And
24:51
the take the money. and so what happens when they're paid this
24:53
money? They. Just said i'm sorry it
24:55
was a mistake we didn't mean And the. And
24:58
yet the poor taste miss says and post
25:00
mouth as I mean grace let him get
25:03
a chance to Day nine. Or I
25:05
think it's at just sit your back
25:07
on a plane and I think might
25:09
he said about it a eight took
25:12
a t v say to details and
25:14
i i I'm not sure why cause
25:16
such a nice and because it has
25:18
been known about for years and I'm
25:21
not been that input costs and things
25:23
done on this this for now and
25:25
but i think the least that cds
25:28
or had especially tv show that it's
25:30
and traumatizing a real life staying there
25:32
something about that reach size really really.
25:34
Interesting and has such sky and I'm
25:37
not sure what it is, but I
25:39
find that quite fascinating and and also
25:41
intensive. The. Prosecution as reading
25:43
about today and I read that
25:45
that have to have never been
25:47
any prosecutions of the Post office
25:49
or Cj eighth or any members
25:51
of this off and but since
25:54
the tv shows to physically be
25:56
team investigating that now says that
25:58
the post office is on. The
26:00
Criminal Investigation over I like Potential
26:02
For Defense says I'm so so
26:04
itself might be happening, but he
26:07
knows if it will actually amount
26:09
to anything. Fifty quid
26:11
says oh find a scapegoat the then the
26:13
politicians who were doing the deals around this
26:15
will go off, they'll leave and they'll get
26:17
a better job in a in waves of
26:19
the new post office is gonna be which
26:21
they always do. A lot of the politics
26:23
of smokers miss the days of the league
26:26
with was the rich see that from the
26:28
others say that as if they've been doing
26:30
the right thing and in his gabi about
26:32
seat on espen he destroyed that we said
26:34
what the hell is one thing for last
26:36
number of years and the your and on
26:38
and what's your take on it was with.
26:40
The Media.over there about that. At
26:43
what I see for these you say that
26:45
gif or system in a call yesterday wife
26:47
ignore British though he says with it is
26:49
here about what happened with the Post office
26:51
in the Uk so as you've tried to
26:53
with people in their workplace or it's a
26:55
nice over here and I was at yeah
26:57
I heard about years ago both I can
26:59
forgotten about A and of his we don't
27:01
get a t the with Saudi so we
27:04
are watchable. The. Actually schauble, I was.
27:07
I. Agree I see well personally will happen
27:09
is they'll take years for is an increase
27:11
of place. And then. People.
27:14
Be gone the be retired with a bit
27:16
that they will. Seek Lima assume
27:18
was people forgotten about it. People won't
27:21
have remember a tv drama film a
27:23
year or two ago and it would
27:25
be less new for even if something
27:27
does happen. It.
27:29
Won't have an impact and I don't think you might not
27:31
much of a change because they they know how to eat
27:33
the think I was so. The. Best
27:36
way to stop something be news is to
27:38
make people forget about. isn't that? Why am
27:40
I know? it is shocking what happens. I.
27:43
Also think if this is this wouldn't
27:45
have been the post office which is
27:47
government run is this was still the
27:49
post office which was the public company.
27:52
While the government will be taken up
27:54
a massive forces there would be inquiries
27:56
galore. People would be sacked. it will.
27:58
We will be going. Reeling from
28:00
the ramifications. but I think because they
28:02
stallone it, it's off covering and that's
28:04
all it's gonna be. A. Vote
28:09
them out. If
28:12
a similar six cents a for was
28:14
up for at least for have died
28:16
by suicide now they were the it
28:19
can't be made by five hundred. Number.
28:23
It's always gonna be too little too late in
28:25
London. And
28:27
a shopping at I suppose Cancer

28:32
a question here from and lee

The at how we do with it is. You.
28:59
Have to a Suzhou about research If
29:01
used to go and believe the first
29:03
thing that you need for the facing
29:06

29:28
Taken. As gospel the first thing that you see.
29:33
A mate mike your feet up with
29:36
whenever you're miss their official documents you'd
29:38
agree with as I can document with
29:40
a. Good,
29:44
didn't you know? what? am I? I
29:47
I totally agree with the like. You read
29:49
something in the press, eight you read it
29:51
and one newspaper the new, read it the
29:53
next to the navy. didn't the next the
29:55
realize the quotes are entirely different. All that
29:57
been reshaped. And what I what I
29:59
do quite of. In in. In.
30:01
My podcast especially with on the
30:03
last case I did with a
30:06
give the audience or the press
30:08
said they're I'd tell them what
30:10
each individual witness said. Because
30:13
even if you get statements from
30:15
businesses who actually saw the scene.
30:18
In. Even that can be entirely different as
30:20
well. So eat are often even of people
30:22
might be telling the truth. Fact if is
30:24
now which is I think he is our
30:27
job and and Andy rightfully says china you've
30:29
got a work the wheat from the chaff
30:31
but also you've got a workout if you've
30:33
gotten official source how much of that is
30:36
accurate As one untruthful says it's it's a
30:38
hard game and you've just gotta. Do.
30:40
It right. And point
30:42
You're going to live with that of
30:45
your off and seven nine size. What's
30:47
your approach to this? Who? Ice
30:50
cream for things with my command you
30:52
to said movies about research. Council.
30:55
Races as much you can get from of
30:57
and then. He needs
30:59
to be sorted thought the week from
31:01
the chaff on the basically might itself.
31:04
Book. Is good faith with appointment
31:06
might be. Different opinions on
31:09
from the number. One are
31:11
building person whose address in the
31:13
episode. So. If
31:15
I don't know which one is right for me, know. This
31:18
is appointment begin with you because awesome
31:20
salsa lessons. So.
31:23
You can still use the information. It's.
31:26
Up to the listen the then. To. Go
31:28
with whatever new book it's recently
31:31
to to keep them. There's no
31:33
excuse for poor research, really. Special
31:38
Gray said in a stingray when
31:40
you're researching your stories to use
31:42
of mainstream media, And
31:44
yeah I would say I use a
31:46
not i'm just and to add on
31:48
at with poor laughing. A.
31:51
Yeah I often a dresser and that in the
31:53
at the sight of says a couple of pieces
31:55
and it's a nice and and och Hans solidify
31:57
our club right. One of them I'll just I'll
31:59
just. and let the audience make up
32:01
their minds. And I think also it's important that
32:04
we, I think Andy was speaking about this earlier,
32:06
but if you make a mistake, just let the
32:08
audience know on the next episode or whenever. I
32:10
think I always love that when I hear podcasts
32:14
say that I always feel like I can really
32:16
trust the information they're giving because even if someone
32:19
has made a mistake, we all do. At least
32:21
I know that it will be rectified at some
32:23
point or they're open and humble enough to talk
32:26
about it. And that's the only way that,
32:29
I think that's the only way you can, because there will
32:31
be discrepancies online, especially if you're using
32:33
lots of different sources. And as we've
32:35
spoken about it, there's lots of different
32:38
versions of the events. Yeah.
32:41
That makes a lot of sense. Over
32:43
to you then Paul. What do you
32:45
want to bring to us this evening?
32:47
Okay, so I want to bring, it's
32:49
a bit of a question really about
32:51
should something happen. And I'm referring to
32:53
the horrendous story recently of this poor
32:55
little child starving to death. It
32:58
is dead dad. You must have heard about this
33:00
story from Norfolk. It's a
33:02
two-year-old boy. He's last seen
33:04
on the 27th, the 26th of
33:06
December when
33:10
the neighbor waves from, the neighbor texts
33:12
the dad the next day, he
33:14
texts back. They don't hear
33:16
the social worker, sorry, arranges
33:19
a meeting for the second of January.
33:21
Now this kid, I should say, and I'm not
33:23
trying to generalize here, but
33:26
it comes from a problem family,
33:28
shall we say. There's things like
33:31
alcoholism and kids going into
33:33
care. And so he's under care of
33:35
children's services, right? Now
33:37
the social worker turns up on a second
33:40
in January and there's no answer. So they
33:42
call the police to effect an arrest and
33:44
it doesn't happen. Three days later,
33:46
the social worker goes back. Again,
33:49
there's no answer. Again calls
33:51
the police. They don't
33:53
effect, they don't
33:55
enter the property. It takes to
33:57
the 9th of January for the
34:00
social workers will be let in by a
34:02
landlord and they find these two dead. Now,
34:05
the dad has supposedly been dead for about
34:07
11 days and you don't know
34:09
how long this poor little child has been
34:11
there. But the children's services
34:14
or quality head says
34:16
that social workers don't have
34:19
the lawful right
34:21
to force entry to a property. That's
34:23
what they call the police for. Now,
34:26
this hasn't happened twice when the
34:28
kid was too at risk. So,
34:31
my question should be is why
34:33
have police not affected entry and
34:36
they've referred themselves to the IOPC
34:38
about this? Why have they
34:41
not affected entry and should
34:43
social workers in such a situation
34:46
have the power to affect
34:48
entry to a property like that? Because
34:50
with proper identification and justification,
34:53
what's the problem? What court
34:56
would prosecute someone for that? I
34:58
mean, the list of children who slip
35:00
through the neck due to putbacks and things
35:03
like this is horrendous. So,
35:05
that's my question really. Should
35:09
social services have that power of
35:11
the police and it might just
35:13
save a life like Little Bronson?
35:16
What do you think, Grace? Yeah,
35:19
I mean, it's really, I think
35:21
it's such a tricky subject
35:23
because it opens the door to many,
35:25
many issues that would come along with
35:28
that. However, I do think with social
35:30
services in particular, we
35:32
trust social services to look after
35:34
children and people who are vulnerable
35:36
and in need of support. And
35:38
so, if we're not giving them
35:40
the tools or the ability to
35:42
go in and save a child's
35:44
life in that scenario, then where
35:46
does it stop? Where do you
35:48
take away that ability
35:52
to support the child Or to save the
35:54
child's life? And I think it's that I
35:56
don't know what I would answer that because
35:58
I. I don't
36:00
think it he proclaimed caught bush Danny's i
36:02
need to change of like this I'm sure
36:04
this is hop and life before me. Probably
36:07
just this is in the news. Now that's why
36:09
we talking about. I'm sure it happens an awful
36:11
lot more than we. And. We heroes
36:13
on. Yeah, it's definitely something them we need
36:15
to keep talking about by to have an
36:18
aunt so I'm not sure. Of.
36:22
Alum and even as I can
36:24
circulate or the other and I'm
36:26
services I don't know this case
36:28
erm sons tragic happen unfortunately family's
36:30
house we hear the saving about.
36:33
Different. Cases have to. M S is
36:35
a question. No, I don't think the
36:37
social services should have the right to
36:40
for century. However, I
36:42
do believe they should have the right
36:44
to. Force. The police as
36:46
you listen. I found in the situation that
36:48
the police have tried to catch drivers category
36:51
that wrong and it just didn't. He.
36:53
Didn't become a priority for hims own social
36:55
services to the from solar power I believe
36:57
to say to the police hey look this
36:59
person is one a bowl or this person.
37:02
Is in danger. You have to go now
37:04
and day with this. For. Adolphe
37:06
they have because if you given writer
37:08
for fancy themselves the opening them to
37:10
them been may be injured or hurt
37:12
or or situation by law but if
37:15
you give them the power to for
37:17
is no good the please refer to
37:19
himself. After. Was how many times
37:21
you see that the damage is done. People have
37:23
died by that book. If they can Toronto police
37:25
and say. This. Is cathy be
37:28
a or wherever you go and do it is
37:30
no. Then. They should have that
37:32
power, I believe. I agree there
37:34
and might put your thoughts. A.
37:37
One word for you. X.
37:40
And that's why all of this is based in
37:42
time. To the subject is that he was. A
37:45
hyphenated i know it's will play business.
37:47
Let me let me googlettes. Oh man
37:49
I ask for a Scottish while. Others,
37:53
the problem is it's all down to
37:55
money, isn't that with you to molest
37:57
social workers of which we don't have
37:59
enough, oh, you? The police of which we
38:01
don't have enough at the end of the
38:03
day that the have to prioritize things and
38:05
as we all know. They.
38:07
Can all do a great job or sometimes
38:09
people can do not have a good job
38:12
but to nerf at things slip through the
38:14
net and unfortunately it's always these tragic case
38:16
is is that it's It's like how many.
38:19
How many young kids? the kind of sitting
38:21
in horrible situations right at this very moment
38:24
with parents who want dead were probably some
38:26
town drugs and have no idea what the
38:28
doing and yet nothing can really be done
38:30
because the haven't got the money in the
38:33
time in order to put the proteins to
38:35
the cases that they need and things to
38:37
slip through and I I'm guessing a same
38:39
Zandi I I I. I haven't heard much
38:42
about this case but. I
38:44
think this is just can be that the money
38:46
is no money cutbacks like a stuff like a
38:49
training. We need to invest more
38:51
than me, but is that gonna happen now?
38:55
Sadly familiar with that pull any conclusions
38:57
of is part of the set. Number.
39:00
On on I think humble good comments
39:03
look nice on the younger might have
39:05
made on the roof blew up some
39:07
fabulous comments in. Songs
39:13
often. I. Completely agree with
39:16
them and not not are you know.
39:19
Why I prefer to eat rice
39:21
bowl. It seems like something should
39:23
be done because this is an
39:25
old man. This case on. As
39:28
you say, how many would we not know about?
39:30
The yeah. This
39:33
is. Delusional. easy fix?
39:35
I don't think. Really? Isn't.
39:39
The. Humor a great and yet we keep
39:41
reading this stuff. I never come here
39:43
as it destroys it as high as best
39:45
and said in the comments he made to
39:47
cry that me cry as as had. I'm.
39:51
Mike. What? Are you going to
39:53
bring foster fire? Know
39:56
I was can drink the taste
39:58
of Ah True Crime podcast. The
40:00
Ethics. It's
40:03
It's interesting the we're all kind of on
40:05
the same. Been here in this is kind
40:07
of a key thing though. Is Kentucky to
40:09
discuss older? Back to that, I'm. He's
40:12
just a question I want to ask. You will. With.
40:14
True crime. Is there too much
40:17
of a focus on the killer
40:19
the not the victim. Why?
40:24
Is interesting is that if you go
40:26
into if you watch any documentary and
40:28
it'll always as he say like in
40:31
Jeffrey Dahmer ted Bundy didn't Dennis Nilsson
40:33
be don't get you rarely get documentaries
40:35
about victims. If you go into a
40:38
Waterstones he look at bookshop you will
40:40
see hundreds of books on Jack the
40:42
Ripper old dinner will this crap cases
40:45
of very little on the victims and
40:47
why. Why do we not? her?
40:50
Should wait a while you advocate Zac
40:52
Efron planes had been base. Outrageous poverty
40:54
thought us. Yeah. It's.
40:58
The. Victims booms, arming, Everybody
41:01
will know who Richard Ramirez
41:03
is For example, months against
41:06
memory problems on marriage proposals
41:08
more. But. One of
41:10
the victims from doing because
41:13
they become secondary really
41:15
and I do faith
41:17
this. Celebrities:
41:19
And. Killers. And I'm
41:21
from. I think I find the obscene
41:23
or find it bizarre, bordering on the
41:25
mentally ill, Bullet of
41:27
seem to the.and. I.
41:30
Doesn't a seem to the dharma
41:33
seems that we mentioned before. You
41:35
know me, Nuts sensation lines in
41:37
him. At
41:41
all. I think it's easier
41:43
because. They nicely boxed off.
41:45
You know he can learn everything
41:47
about not person because someone will
41:49
still be there. Life from birth
41:52
to nothing. So cliff when he's
41:54
gone way. That. Nuts
41:56
and you can quantify everything. Book. Is.
41:58
victims you know No
42:01
one's going to talk to their childhood friends or find
42:04
out their hobbies, what pets they
42:06
like to eat on. And it should be
42:08
important like that because without these people,
42:12
the wrong focus of fame doesn't
42:14
get that because these
42:17
people make it. And
42:19
I think it's quite tragic. It's certainly
42:22
not something I try and do. I try to bring victims.
42:26
I don't even like the word victim. I
42:30
try and bring that person to life because it's
42:32
about them. Be compassionate. You
42:35
know, yeah. Now,
42:37
I know that in your podcast and Grace, I hear
42:39
it in yours as well. You always bring the victims
42:41
to life, don't you? Yeah, I mean,
42:43
to be honest, that's why I started the
42:45
podcast. During lockdown, I
42:47
was listening to a lot of true crime
42:49
podcasts and found that a lot of the
42:51
content I was listening to was very perpetrator
42:53
focused. And I was really interested in the
42:56
victims. Actually, that's
42:58
really interesting that you talk, Paul, about
43:00
not using the word victim because you're
43:02
so right. These are fully rounded people
43:04
and I was really interested in their
43:07
lives. So yeah, that's why I started
43:09
Red Run. What I will say about
43:11
that is we were talking
43:13
earlier about mainstream media. There's a lot
43:16
of information on the perpetrators, not so
43:18
much information on the
43:20
victims usually. And I find, I
43:23
don't know if everyone else finds this as
43:25
well, but when researching, usually
43:28
I find the most information on the
43:30
people, on the victims, when there has
43:32
been a book written specifically about the
43:35
case, when it is just using mainstream
43:37
media or anything
43:39
out there that is very easily
43:41
accessible, it tends to be perpetrator
43:43
focused. So it doesn't surprise me,
43:45
having worked in this field for
43:48
three or four years, it doesn't
43:50
surprise me that most of the
43:52
content out there is perpetrator focused
43:54
because it's easy to access that
43:56
material. You really have to dig for the
43:58
other stuff. It takes a lot longer. It's a lot
44:00
more effort. Oftentimes costs more
44:02
money to do and put more resource into.
44:05
So it doesn't surprise me, but it's a really tragic thing,
44:08
I think, that cases
44:11
aren't more focused on the victims. I
44:13
agree with you. Whenever I see, I saw
44:16
actually on Friday, I posted something on my
44:19
Instagram, a quote from Jeffrey
44:21
Damon. I felt really bad about it. But
44:23
when I said to Jeffrey Damon online, there
44:25
was so much. And to your points, really,
44:28
there's nothing, I couldn't tell you one of
44:30
his victims names. There's loads about him. What
44:33
about you, Andy? What are your thoughts?
44:35
Yeah, I agree with what everyone said.
44:38
Also, Bob made a very good
44:40
point in the comments. People
44:42
have always been attracted to the usual, to
44:44
the macarbs, to something which is
44:47
not normal for them. So people,
44:50
unfortunately, I think
44:52
the reason why there's so much
44:54
purpose right on the killers is because
44:56
people want to hear about the people
44:59
who could be willing, they do such
45:01
things. And they want
45:03
the details, and they want the gory details.
45:05
So it's not like, well, you used to
45:07
get hundreds of thousands of people served executions
45:10
in, used to be whole
45:12
books written about the killers in the past. And sometimes
45:15
the victims, you'd be lucky if you
45:17
got the name. I'm talking decades ago
45:19
here. So I think it's, unfortunately,
45:23
natural instinct of
45:25
humans to want to lean
45:28
towards the horrible, nasty stuff, because it's
45:30
not what they would do themselves. I'm
45:34
not saying that's right. And it's good that we
45:36
have people
45:38
here and over people creating
45:41
content who are willing to
45:44
speak about the victims or speak
45:46
about the people and speak about their
45:48
lives and who they were. So
45:51
yeah. And Bethan's raised
45:54
an interesting point. She
45:56
asked in the questions, do you think it's also
45:58
little that the murderer's life becomes public knowledge,
46:00
but the victims family wants to move away,
46:02
move on. What do you think, Mike?
46:06
Yeah, it's a complicated one, isn't
46:08
it? Because it's the most tragic moment in their lives.
46:12
And when they've got resolution,
46:14
i.e. going to court, they
46:16
pretty much want it to be over, don't they? They
46:18
don't want to be over. I think it was Grace
46:20
you said that about them reliving
46:22
it every time someone contacts them, they relive it
46:25
and they do, they relive the trauma. So I
46:27
totally agree. Any
46:32
other thoughts on this topic before we move on? I
46:35
think the
46:38
problem with this is that we still live
46:40
in an era where victims, like
46:42
you're saying it's hard to get information about them,
46:44
but if you look in most of the press,
46:47
quite often in TV shows and
46:49
podcasts and things like that, when you
46:51
look at a victim, all you hear
46:54
is name, age, collection of injuries, because
46:56
that's all they are. Especially for
46:58
the people who want to create entertainment
47:00
and want it to be exciting. And
47:02
it's entirely wrong. Quite often, even
47:04
if you look at someone like Jeffrey Dahmer or
47:07
Ted Bundy, the only reason we
47:09
know about them is because it's a step in
47:11
stone to find out who he is and what
47:13
he's about. It's all about the psychology of the
47:15
killer. And I think we need
47:17
to break away from that. We need to
47:19
stop thinking, wow, killers are intelligent and fascinating
47:21
and witty and oh, look how they outwitted
47:24
the police. No, they didn't. It's
47:26
entirely wrong and we need to entirely break away
47:29
from that. And I
47:31
know that's a controversial thing to say because
47:34
people who like true crime want to know about
47:36
killers, but we need to not. And
47:39
this is something that I discussed. I did an interview with a
47:41
shirt from British Mailers the other day and I talked about it
47:43
a lot. That fine line, what is
47:46
true crime? Is it
47:48
entertainment? I kind of think
47:50
it is to an extent, but it's also telling a
47:52
story. What do you think?
47:54
Where does the line fall down here?
48:01
I think it falls
48:04
more to the entertainment category
48:07
if you advertise yourself
48:09
as a crime comedy podcast
48:12
because that just, to
48:15
me, they don't work together.
48:18
It should be one or the other. It's
48:21
nothing funny about it at
48:23
all. So people
48:25
who do a show like that, I
48:27
would say go out and do an entertainment
48:30
show. Don't
48:32
try and be factual. Yeah,
48:36
it doesn't blur to me, I think. I
48:39
do see what you're saying because people
48:41
will listen to you to go to bed. They'll
48:43
be entertained by listening to you
48:45
in the gym or whatever. So
48:48
there's entertainment in that respect, but
48:51
it's not an entertaining
48:53
subject. So you're
48:57
bringing people stories.
49:00
It's not being heard whether someone is
49:02
entertained or not. Some of
49:04
those stories aren't there. What
49:06
about you, Grace? Is your show entertainment? I
49:11
think it probably comes down to
49:13
the people that are listening to
49:15
it. I think it's
49:19
really complex. I think I personally,
49:21
as a woman, most
49:24
of my audience are women, and I
49:26
know there's a massive focus
49:28
on why are women so interested
49:30
in true crime. I
49:33
think part of it is the fascination
49:35
with it for sure. But
49:38
also, I think this was a subconscious
49:40
thing for me at the start, and it probably
49:42
still is to a point. But I'm like, how
49:44
can I protect myself? Because
49:46
I'm in danger. Every single day I go
49:48
out as a woman, I am in danger.
49:51
And obviously, making a true crime podcast, I think
49:54
literally I'm going to die every single day. It's
49:56
just on my mind all the time. It doesn't necessarily mean
49:59
that will happen. But I
50:01
think because I surround myself with
50:03
that information, I feel slightly more
50:05
protected, which I don't think is
50:07
actually necessarily true. So
50:09
I think that's one of the reasons I
50:12
listen, and I think a lot of my
50:14
listeners do. But also I think, yes, it
50:16
is entertaining in the sense
50:18
that I'm quite fascinated to hear
50:20
the details of what happened. I'm
50:22
quite fascinated to listen to a
50:24
story. My other work, aside
50:26
from podcasts, is to do with storytelling. I think
50:28
I've always been interested in that. But I think
50:31
that's something that is quite universal
50:33
to people generally. And I imagine a reason
50:35
why a lot of people listen is to
50:37
hear the stories, hear it build up. And
50:39
I know I've listened to quite a lot
50:41
of the podcasts that you guys make. And
50:44
I know a lot of them are very
50:46
storytelling. So that's why I listen to them as well.
50:51
Are you an entertainer, Andy? I
50:53
think we're all entertainers, if I'm being perfectly honest.
50:57
Why we entertain is an important question. If
50:59
it's to inform and to educate and to
51:02
be an advocate, that's
51:04
a good thing. If it's to just
51:07
forget fame and attention, maybe that's not a good
51:09
thing. But I think we're all entertainers in one
51:11
way or the other. I do believe, just to
51:13
add a positive slant on this, if that's OK.
51:16
If you look at other areas
51:19
in society, attitudes towards women,
51:21
attitudes towards minorities, and attitudes
51:23
towards as many other groups.
51:26
If you go back even 30, 30
51:29
years ago, 20 years ago, if you look
51:31
at it now, some of that was shocking. But
51:34
society is slowly starting to change. And
51:36
I feel that is, we're
51:38
at the very wild west when it comes to
51:40
this. We're at the very start of this. But
51:42
I do believe in maybe 20, 30
51:44
years time, people might be looking back and
51:46
thinking, wow, why do people
51:49
used to make this type of content? How could they
51:51
get away with it? And I think we're at the
51:53
very start of it. So it's good we're having this
51:55
conversation. But I do think there is hope. I don't
51:57
think We can give up. Hi
52:01
there had to the fans em. Anymore.
52:05
I get that and will go about
52:07
eight minutes left so she just quickly
52:09
worry race round. Any final thoughts on
52:11
this at this sub a banks Mike's
52:13
result will be. No.
52:18
I wasn't Ah I see is
52:20
an idea I'm with with the
52:22
case is how soon is too
52:24
soon or is too soon? To
52:28
as he was saying like his victims'
52:30
families are the kind of still grieving
52:32
and especially as he was saying with
52:34
pull with that case you just mentioned
52:36
that's fresh right now is similar to
52:38
a podcast about that this week. Or.
52:41
Even this year is that to sue. The.
52:44
As completely because. The
52:47
one I just mention the fact some
52:49
full younger. Some. Surely
52:51
why would you do something? And
52:54

53:16
To. See. As as and
53:19
same add another pop in an alley from
53:21
three separate center in there. Are
53:23
in the chat and and they're very
53:26
much. that's why they choose really cases
53:28
because they think about the families and
53:30
Christ, what are your thoughts? And
53:33
yes I ah
53:35
I think. The
53:38
I don't know when he sees as
53:40
the I think because he mentioned that
53:42
love and are times when today cat
53:44
about family still grieving eighty eight one
53:46
hundred years after the events and I
53:48
don't I don't think there's a time
53:51
that is a good time and by
53:53
agree I mean that the sensitivity issue
53:55
isn't I don't want to cause I've
53:57
I've agree I wouldn't want to other
53:59
something. It's just happened or that is in
54:01
the news. Currently I'm I want to talk
54:03
about it. I might find it interesting to
54:06
talk, find might be topical on by. Probably
54:08
wouldn't cover a case like that. I
54:10
immediately. That. You Andy. From
54:13
as the as on the previous employer
54:15
lot and of us are you see
54:17
have a cool off where. I
54:20
will prove anything. Where. The.
54:23
Hasn't been a fool. Who
54:26
to this? you procedure So cold
54:28
case and or appeal? If it
54:30
looks like they could be an
54:32
appeal am I know that. Sometimes.
54:36
This is different and sometimes people can
54:39
go referring to a little bit closer
54:41
which. We.
54:43
See sometimes it's okay to she keeps
54:45
it fresh in people's mind for it
54:47
is very very unique situations but me
54:49
myself no I wouldn't like like Holford
54:51
face. The. Lucky ones we doing
54:53
this talks my some food on the fact that
54:55
you know. I'm. All for
54:57
two layer different folks from outlines you realize
55:00
I use completely wrong the you have been.
55:03
Sensationalist yourself. Book that is really tough
55:05
question because you leave it to lungs.
55:08
And. People.
55:11
Will want to listen and therefore you
55:13
can. Do the educational Peace
55:15
police too soon or you just. You.
55:18
Know gain old information. So a a
55:21
secret chef the a one has as
55:23
himself individually both. Myself I
55:25
lie. So these wave the to tissue
55:27
procedure to be complete. Were.
55:29
Like he might you ask the question, what the answer.
55:32
Yeah. I agree, it's. I
55:35
see if it is always a disco
55:37
ones that even like. I'm
55:39
kind of working on a case that
55:41
cellar cell A God I did a
55:43
case about two or three years ago
55:45
which is the night or early nineteen
55:48
seventies and I thought as find Chino
55:50
nineteen seventies dog was or wasn't even
55:52
born and A and but interest in
55:54
the I Do that calls from families
55:56
A do get calls from victims' families
55:58
and the perpetrators families. And
56:01
when you're talking to them on the phone direct,
56:03
you can hear it in their voices that the
56:06
pain is still there. So
56:09
same as you guys, I wrangle with it all the
56:11
time about trying to work out how
56:13
I should tell the story, to do
56:15
it in a sympathetic way, always from the
56:17
victim's perspective, but also thinking to myself, if
56:21
this was my family and I read
56:23
this or heard this, how would I feel? And
56:26
I think too often with
56:29
podcasting, TV, even
56:31
books as well, they don't think about
56:33
that first. Quite often they will just
56:35
think about money, fame, attention.
56:40
That's true. Okay, so we've got about
56:42
three minutes left. So why don't
56:44
I throw something into the mix? I know you're dying
56:46
to answer this question. So if
56:48
you were an animal, what animal would you
56:51
be? Andy? You should
56:53
know what this question haunts me because
56:55
I lost the student union presently over
56:57
this question. But the answer
56:59
I gave back then, some almost
57:01
30 years ago, was I'd be a cat
57:05
because I could lay it around and do
57:07
nothing all day and get fed and get
57:09
attention. So I'll stick
57:11
with that one, I think. I bet
57:13
you, Grace. I'd be a dog because
57:15
I am nearly 30 years old and have
57:17
been desperate for a dog since I was
57:19
about two. I think my mum's probably watching
57:22
this. So mum, for my birthday, I'll be
57:24
a dog and I'll be a dog with
57:26
the dog. I
57:28
bet you, Paul, I know you're dying to answer
57:31
this question. I'd have to be a koala, mate.
57:33
I think it's because everybody wants to cuddle it.
57:36
I'm sorry. I think I'm going to eat pussy. I've
57:40
got my pussy. Yeah. Downstairs,
57:42
fast asleep. She probably
57:44
has been for the whole day. Legend.
57:48
Legend. Back to you, Andy, about being a cat. It's
57:51
a great life, isn't it? Last
57:54
but not least, Mike, what would you be? They're
57:56
so annoying because literally I was going to say
57:58
koala, but not for the... Not for those
58:01
reasons. The reasons is he to spend
58:03
all day basically asleep and stone that
58:05
