Show Notes
True Crime Catch Up is back with a brand-new episode, as I sit down with Stuart Blues, host of the British Murders podcast, for episode two of our new monthly series. If you haven't listened before, it's a chance for the two of us to get together and chat about different aspects of true crime, from individual cases to our own experiences of researching and presenting them. It's a slightly different format from our usual podcasts, with a more relaxed conversation, a few personal reflections and, inevitably, a few laughs along the way.
Stuart looks at the fatal tiger attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, the disturbing murder of vulnerable man Michael O'Donnell, who was exploited and killed in his own home, and the tragic case of Reece Radford, who lost his life after stepping in to help a teenage girl. Meanwhile, Adam explores the fatal 1987 car crash involving actor Matthew Broderick in Northern Ireland, as well as the bizarre story from Scotland of Neil Young (not that one), whose dispute with a colleague over WhatsApp messages escalated into a violent confrontation.
I release new episodes of the UK True Crime Podcast every Tuesday and Friday, so please do join me for the next story on Tuesday.

Today I look back at the Cameron House fire, a devastating incident at one of Scotland’s best-known hotels that had tragic consequences. I explore the events of that night, the emergency response and the investigation that followed, examining how such a beautiful place associated with relaxation and celebration became the scene of such a terrible tragedy.
When Jonathan Catchpole’s five-year relationship with his partner came to an end, he could hardly have imagined what would follow. Later, Jonathan was the victim of a shocking shotgun attack that left him seriously injured. As investigators pieced together the evidence, a complex story emerged involving allegations of a conspiracy to murder. But who was behind the attack, and what had led to such violence?
This episode takes us to Birmingham, where the Clothes Show Live was taking place at the NEC.
Shaun Walmsley was serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of Anthony Duffy when he managed to escape from custody during a hospital visit. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the murder which led to Walmsley being sent to prison, and the remarkable circumstances surrounding his escape. How did a convicted murderer manage to get out of custody, and what happened next?
Two teenage girls were snatched from the roadside in Berkshire. One managed to escape, but the other was subjected to a violent and terrifying attack. The cases remained unsolved, and the man responsible escaped justice. But years later, a horrific murder would reveal a chilling connection and begin to unravel the secrets of a killer. In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the crimes of Ronald Cheshire, the lives he devastated, and how a terrible murder would eventually shed light on attacks that had remained unsolved for years.
