Enjoy the way he tells the story. He remembers the victims and shows them as real people. He does his research and it shows.

...Micheal's quirky presentation style, which at first sounded ill placed, or even just ill!
But no, it's fantastic, warm, chatty, hilarious, a touch Rik Mayall, and so very polished.
Some very funny turns of phrase and asides but most fantasticly descriptive. The research is another level, subject choices gripping, and delivery wonderful.
Cannot recommend highly enough.

The very thing I thought would irritate me is the very thing that has endeared me to the show...

I first came across Murder Mile podcasts on Amazon Music. They are extremely addictive. Michael is so talented and funny- especially on the the Extra Mile. I can’t recommend it enough if you’re a fan of true crime.

Just Outstanding

What can I say 10/10, 5*'s 👏 🤩
This is one of the best Podcasts I have ever listened too.
The research and time of some of these cases that we the public have never heard of before.
So interesting, the way he describes the scene in all different parts of London. Some places still exist some are now different dwellings some have disappeared totally.
The knowledge he has makes him one clever gentleman who lives on a boat, who's humour and he talks about food, drink and diets.
Only bit I do get confused about, (my error in not reading more) Is he actually in a relationship? As she sounds a right pain??
Have been following for over a year now.
He responds very quickly if you message him. I miss out on competitions as I am a bit behind in episodes.
