True Criminals
True Criminals is a multi award winning podcast hosted by Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt and journalist and broadcaster Helen Fospero.
The podcast won Outstanding Independent Podcast at the 2025 True Crime Awards, and returned to the awards this year, where Martin and Helen were named Most Captivating Hosts.
Drawing on decades of frontline journalism, they revisit both high profile and lesser known cases with the insight and curiosity of reporters who understand how investigations unfold. The result is thoughtful, revealing true crime that goes beyond the familiar headlines.
Guests include senior detectives, investigative journalists, bestselling authors and people directly connected to the cases, bringing first hand insight and new detail to each story.
Produced by Audio Bleach Global, with BAFTA winning producer Russell Barnes.

This podcast may use tracking and attribution and dynamic content insertion
Stats: Statistics are produced by Megaphone to help True Criminals to understand how many downloads it is getting, or how many people are listening. Your device’s IP address and user agent is used to help calculate this figure. Megaphone is IAB v2 certified. Here is more detail about podcast statistics.
Tracking and attribution: Megaphone and Nielsen or their partners may connect the fact you listened to this podcast to an action elsewhere on the internet. For example - they may spot a device that downloaded an episode of True Criminals later visited the website of an advertiser; or they may track that a device that listened to True Criminals also listened to a different show. This form of attribution is used to measure advertising effectiveness.
Dynamic content insertion: Megaphone may use limited data that they know about you - the device you’re using, the approximate location you’re in, or other data that can be derived from this, like the current weather forecast for your area - to change parts of the audio. True Criminals may do this for advertising or for other forms of content, like news stories.
True Criminals is able to use the above tools since its podcast host or measurement company offers this service. It doesn’t mean that this individual podcast uses them, or has access to this functionality. We use open data.
