Welcome to ‘True Crime Investigators UK’, a new ‘True Crime’ documentary podcast (produced in association with Cornucopia Radio) which will be looking at unsolved crimes, important criminal cases and delving further into the procedural process.

The fact that you can hear us via a computer on your desktop is because of experiments that first began in 1860…

My name is Helen Blejerman; I was born in Mexico City and have lived in Sheffield for four years. At this point of my stay I still feel that I haven’t found or grabbed in my hands the tangible essence of the ever changing city of Sheffield.
