The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast

Psychopath - The Two Sides Of Patrick Mackay, my collaboration with Mike from the fabulous Murder Mile, is now out in its full 10 parts. A few weeks ago, having finished it, me and Mike managed to sit down and discuss the case in full, which we have recorded us doing, and which we bring to you for a bonus time around. It's totally unscripted, very largely unedited, perhaps a lot less serious than both of us usually are - and which I bring to you here. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
