The only crime-related podcast you need to listen to.

I’m don’t listen to or watch “True Crime” podcasts or shows. I don’t find entertainment in glamourising or sensationalising the men who commit serious violent acts on women - including extreme psychological abuse. Laura Richards has razor sharp focus on the victims and their relatives as well as educating listeners about the predictable patterns of abuse they suffer. She does this through indefatigable forensic dissection of cases. Her professional background in this area shines through and sets her apart. As an aside, she is a brilliant role model for girls - and women who haven’t had a strong, intelligent and empathic role model in their lives. Why she’s not winning awards left right and centre is beyond me. Mind you, what use is an award when you’ve actually been involved in changing laws to protect women, across the world!
