A crime reporter and her own stalking story
As a journalist Isla Traquair has told other people's stories for years. But after being stalked by her neighbour in the English countryside, she decided to tell her own story.
A former television news anchor and now a true crime podcast host, Scottish Isla Traquair is used to telling other people's stories. Familiar with the law and courts as an observer, her perspective changed after she moved to the English countryside and was stalked by one of her neighbours. Today she tells her own story of seeing crime from both perspectives.
Growing up in Sweden, Patrik Svensson loved going fishing for eels with his father. As a young boy the eel was steeped in mystery for him, but the more he learnt about the fish, the more mysterious it became. This set Patrik on a scientific and personal journey of discovery, published in his book The Gospel of the Eels.
