Podcast Live: Crime will run over two evenings (7th and 8th April), at the famous Victorian theatre Wilton’s Music Hall, recently refurbished but retaining all its 19th century splendour, which is based in London’s Whitechapel district – probably the most famous crime scene in history.

Uncovering their secrets as a journalist and author of the book, “Fred & Rose”, Howard recorded his enquiries and interviews on cassette tape. Twenty-five years on, Howard has revisited these previously unheard tapes.
