* Warning *
In this episode, we talk about school shootings in Dunblane Scotland and in the US, we also talk about violence against young children and gun laws. 
If this episode is not for you, please give this episode a miss. 

The sound is not fantastic on this episode, we were having a few issues with Effie's microphone, so please bear with us. 

We were lucky enough to meet N Leigh Hunt at Crimecon in Glasgow and he had a huge effect on us both, so we felt so honoured when he agreed to come on the podcast and talk about his book "I dont like Mondays" and school shootings. 

N Leigh Hunt is a South African-born author, crime historian and broadcaster. He is a member of the American Society of Criminology and considered an expert on California school shootings. He graciously received the High Commended award for Best New Author at the Inaugural True Crime Awards in 2023. He was recently a speaker at Crime Con in Glasgow - where he must us!

His book - ‘I Don’t Like Monday’s - The True Story Behind America's First Modern School Shooting’ took years of interviews and research to accurately record the horrifying event. The information collected in his book had never been published previously. He graciously received the High Commended award for Best New Author at the Inaugural True Crime Awards in 2023 

He is currently a director of a radio station and produces shows and podcasts in the Midlands, UK. He lives with his wife in Olney, Bucks but still thinks of San Diego as his hometown.

He is currently working on the Cokeville Wyoming school crisis, the crimes of Craig C Price (the youngest serial killer convicted in the USA) and the possible wrongful conviction of Amanda Lewis in Esto, Florida.

It is such a fascinating conversation about not only school shootings but so many other tough conversations around gun laws, Bob Geldof, speaking to school shooters in prison, the FBI and MAFS! Bet you didn't expect that one! 

Think of it as our 3rd Birthday gift to you!
Thanks for listening.
