About the Host

Stuart Blues Profile Photo

Stuart Blues

I began my true crime podcasting journey in December 2020 after a previous podcast venture with a friend didn't go in the direction either of us had hoped.

As a lifelong lover of horror movies and crime documentaries, I decided to use my previous experience as a podcast host to produce a solo true crime podcast.

As I write and produce the show on my own, I have to manage my time extremely efficiently.

On top of producing the podcast, I work full-time and have a young daughter who is my whole world.

I am thrilled with how the show has gained momentum since its launch, and it is so rewarding to see something you have put your heart and soul into flourishing.
