IIFE AUDIO ARCHIVE

Podcast

Case studies from the journal get an audio version here, read in full. Whether you read it or listen to it, the substance is identical.

The true crime episodes come from real cases. Some are cases I worked on myself, others I examine long after they were closed. Where I was part of the work, I change the names. Some cases are altered until nothing real shows through, and a few are invented from the start.

Audiobooks and true crime are my own voice. The research, the sources and the conclusions are mine in every format.
