  • The Long Sprint
    Nov 22 2024

    Someone is attacking young boys and Detective Constable Simon is eager to find out whom. But Simon’s partner is less than helpful; and the dynamic he has with his interim boss is getting more complicated by the day. To bring justice to the victims and their families, Simon has to challenge conventions and follow his instincts.


    The detective: Detective Constable Simon

    Detective Constable Simon joined the force in 1978 and retired in 2006. During his tenure, Simon worked in the drugs and major crimes unit, in the Serious Crime Squad, did surveillance and undercover work, and worked in anti-terrorism, organized crime and corruption. After his retirement, he ran his own investigation business for a number of years. Simon is the founder of LEAP Scotland, part of a global campaign to change laws to end the ‘war on drugs.’ He has own community radio show and YouTube Channel, and is co-host of the Crime Time Inc. podcast with Small Town Dicks’s favorite Tom Woods.

  • Psycho
    Nov 15 2024

    A local gang is trafficking underaged girls and Detective Matt is out to find the perpetrator - and to free the victims. Two keys to his investigation: An informant, herself a victim, and his ability to go undercover to infiltrate the gang. This case reveals just how far law enforcement will go to get justice - even if it's not ultimately served in exactly the way they wish it would be.


    The detective: Detective Matt

    Detective Matt grew up in Pennsylvania. He joined the police department shortly after graduating college. He worked in patrol at first and then moved to the street crimes unit before he started as an undercover narcotics investigator. He went on to join a DEA task force and worked to infiltrate a group threatening a major political party’s national convention. He received a medal of valor for his efforts. He moved to another state and worked as a deputy for several years and is now retired from law enforcement.

  • The Karen Silkwood Mystery, from Radioactive
    Nov 13 2024
    Sharing an episode of the new podcast Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery. It details the death of a 28-year-old whistleblower which, 50 years later, continues to haunt Oklahoma and the nation. The young plutonium plant worker died in a fatal crash while driving to meet a reporter with The New York Times. She’d agreed to deliver sensitive documents that were never found. Two reporters who covered the story in 1974 have spent years trying to piece together what many in Oklahoma speculate: Karen Silkwood may have died for what she knew. Now, hear newly-discovered investigative tapes, deathbed revelations and long-awaited interviews reexamining what happened that night. Fifty years later, the story still resonates: nuclear secrets, threats to the powerful, and why the truth stubbornly refuses to stay buried.

Real People

These are real stories told by real people who were really there-- including the good, the bad, and the ugly. And owning the ugly isn't easy. The hosts do that and so much more. Totally recommend!

Professional and Interesting - Can’t Beat It!

Absolutely my favorite podcast and the first one I’ve ever reviewed. The men and women presenting their cases has strengthened my trust in law enforcement. Their stories are fascinating and Yardley, Dave, Dan and Paul ask good questions, and their comments add to the value of the content. Keep up the great work!!

Small Town Cockiness

This could have been a great series but the narration is poorly written, and the dicks are so full of themselves, so much cockiness that its a complete turn off for me.
Took a while to get Lisa Simpson out of my mind while listening to this but thats on me.
The crime series podcasts genre is full of so many good podcasts, sadly this isnt one of them.
