The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast
Captain Hogwash
Pilot, Cruise Ship Captain, successful businessman, gifted salesman, entrepreneur, property renovator, heir to a massive fortune, able to drop claims of rubbing shoulders with political figures, all whilst living a champagne lifestyle. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
This time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, we meet an individual who was all that and more.
On paper, and according to him, anyway - but one who left a costly trail of devestation in his wake.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find offensive or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

20. You Deserve A Medal For That!
01:22:42||Season 9, Ep. 20Rememberance Day - a day where we should each give thanks, respect and thoughts to those who through their sacrifices are why we have the freedoms we do today. To be proud. The countless former and serving members of the Armed Forces who each display the medals that they have earned do so with this in abundance, recognition of such sacrifices and bravery they have each earned.And yet, there are many people who also do this - but without the commitment, hard work and bravery that it takes to do so, they simply embellish or even act out a fantasy, basking in glory that they have not attained - as you shall come to see here.The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find offensive or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

Are You Sure You're Legal?
01:16:54||Season 9, Ep. 19I used to watch a great sci-fi show back in the 90's called The Pretender, about a genius who could become anything he wanted to be, fit into any walk of life, which he used to do to help people. The people we will meet this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast are in no way geniuses though - for some people don't let trivialities such as qualifications or aptitude get in their way - and instead, rely on a bit of shopping, the gift of the gab, and more front than Brighton to get by.For this time around, we look at some of those pretending to be THIS side of the law.The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing and/or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

Blood Feud
57:44||Season 9, Ep. 16If a person makes an enemy, the chances are that the circumstances or events that has led to such a thing will not extend further than a series of harsh words exchanged, occasionally a physical confrontation, and a years long, perhaps lifelong dislike of that person.

01:16:34||Season 9, Ep. 13There are countless memorials to the brave personnel of the Armed Forces scattered around the UK, but one of these, in Surrey, contains the names of several service personnel whose military service is overshadowed by one thing - the execution each faced for the heinous crimes they committed, not as an act of war, but as a case of murder. This time around, I bring you the tales of two of these. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events that some listeners may find disturbing and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening. There is also a racial slur used within the episode, and it should be stated categorically that the use of this does not reflect the views of myself or the show, it is featured merely because it is relevant to the tale in question.
