2024/08/23

Send us a Text Message.This is the first of a series of podcasts regarding some incidents in the UK (London) that took place 100 years ago and caused a 'moral panic'. This first podcast tells of how drugs, (class A drugs as we understand them today) were introduced into the UK, at first accepted but then rejected after misuse. The second podcast will be about what was known as 'White Slavery' 100 years ago but as we better understand as human trafficking. Then I will broadcast some podcasts b...

2024/08/15

Send us a Text Message.I have put this short podcast together on Wednesday evening, a couple of days since an incident in Leicester Square which saw a young girl randomly stabbed. The 11 year old girl was visiting from Australia and is still in hospital. It is a bit of a rant against the state of the UK so probably best to give it a miss. It has been written and posted in the space of an afternoon so as you can imagine it is not a professionally produced podcast. I wanted to post an...

2024/07/28

Send us a Text Message.Quite a complicated story which I have tried to simplify. This is a well known case in the North East, still just about in living memory (1967). It is a case of miscarriage of justice, organised crime and corruption in the Newcastle, County Durham area.This podcast is one man in his office putting out a story the way he understands it. I know that I am not very good at presenting but thank you to those who have contacted me to make sure that I know this.

Strange Stories UK ·

2024/05/28

1920s in the UK the Authorities were worried about the behaviour of some of the young people who were later called 'The Bright Young things'. The Establishment were worried about nightclubs, dancing and drinking and the Home Secretary was determined to do something about it. When he found out about a scandal at Eton College where boys were supposedly being seduced by actresses, he was determined to make an example of Tallulah Bankhead, an American actress who seemed to be pleased to be called...

2024/05/19

I am posting this short podcast as the podcasts that I have been working on have become rather complicated, I will finish and broadcast them later. One is about corruption in the Metropolitan police force in London during the 1970s, the other is a paranormal case. I have started and completed this short podcast on a rainy Sunday in May 2024. The story comes from 1973 from Swanage in Dorset. I would imagine it is largely forgotten now. It is recorded in one take without editing. One...
