Evil Has A Name - Podcast on Audible.

I, like many of us, am very interested in true crime, the psychology of it, methods used to apprehend perpetrators and justice being done. When a case goes unsolved for so long that this doesn't seem possible however, it is terrible.

Evil Has A Name is just such a tale, broken down into 14 podcasts it tells the story of years of cat and mouse style frustration by those involved in trying to catch the Golden State Killer, entire careers devoted to it, profiling, searching and attempting to connect many, many dots. It tells of how science progressed over the decades to facilitate new lines of enquiry, and how people from different branches of the criminal investigation worked together towards the same end.

Without giving anything away, I will say that I highly recommend this podcast, it certainly gripped me as I 'binge-listened' to it. Real people speaking of real events, often harrowing but always interesting.

Available on Audible, just my personal recommendation, I receive no perks for this post.

Autumn Vibes

Hi folks, I don't know about you, but as soon as September starts I feel the spooky autumn vibe. Meteorology here in the UK considers September 1st as the start of autumn, and the weather seemed to oblige this year, a definite chill in the air and somehow a smell too, maybe a subconscious thing, maybe an inner sign of things approaching but I feel the need to buy hot chocolate, visit family graves, plan Halloween and look forward to the ever increasing dark nights. Bring it on! 🎃🦇🦉🍂👻
