Hello, it's Richard Herring here, and my podcast, Rahalostapa, is currently sponsored by

Audible. If you're into true crime stories, then you really want to listen to crime scenes

exclusively on Audible. It's a fascinating and disturbing audio book read by the wonderful

Amelia Fox. The backdrops to these crimes are key for a series of scarcely believable but nonetheless

completely true crimes. Crime scenes delves deep into the crimes and explores how the psycho-geography

of a place impacts the darker things that happen there. Listen on Audible now, subscription required,

see Audible.co.uk for terms.

and it's cold and dark and wet. It feels more like October.

It's not usually this bleak this early in September. It doesn't feel like you've downloaded yourself into the middle of winter, that's what it feels like right now.

I'm looking out my window and it's sunset.

Now I can't see any fucking sun.

It's as purple as a Paul Henry painting out there.

It's very, very bleak.
