Warning, this is a true crime podcast and is not suitable for all audiences. Please use discretion.

Just a quick note to say that this episode is not the typical format of the real podcast.

On the 17th of May 2025, I did a 24-hour live podcast to raise money for an incredible charity, Victim Support UK. The stream was

recorded and each session that took place has been edited into an episode for you to listen to.

Because this was a live stream, the sound quality is not as polished as the regular episodes of the podcast usually are.

But I hope you'll find the conversations as insightful and interesting as I did.

If you'd like to donate to the fundraiser, please find a link in the show notes.

much, justice looks like it could finally be served. And here's Michael now. How are you doing,

Michael? Hi, good afternoon. Yeah, I'm well. Thank you. Yourself? How are you managing so far?

This is only my second hour in. That beautiful t-shirt you're wearing your beautiful

mum, the beautiful pink. It's lovely to see her face.

I can see her face behind you as well on a really beautiful picture.

So Michael, there's so much I want to talk to you about.

But first of all, I just want to say, I'm so sorry for the loss of your mum.

She's set from everything that I've read about her that you've put out there.

I think that that smile that she's wearing in that I've read about her that you've put out there. I think that that smile
