[Radio Espial - Invitation for pitches]

Some tests needed over the next two weeks. But almost there.

What is Radio Espial?

A global internet radio podcast (sometimes live, sometimes prerecorded segments). Our focus is on media, publishing, aviation, technology and all other things considered.

Who and how?

I am the broadcaster and interviewer. YOU, my friends are the guests and interviewees. People I know, through and through, and no guests spouting bias, paid and professional views. This is all about people getting valuable airtime, on a suitable subject of their choice, without ad breaks, the interviewer cutting them off or highly edited content. It's freeflow... we can aim for one hour, but if we flow, we go for two hours. It's open ended.

YOU just need access to Skype or Google Hangouts.

All episodes will have an audio and video feed contained in the broadcast.

I am not remotely interested in promotional or sponsored broadcasts at this time. So don't bother your nuts with such pitches. I'm not here to sell your website, services or products. That's your job, not mine!
Radio Espial, in all its topics, is human focused, personal and engaging stories.

If you wish to pitch an idea, only if you are willing to participate, for an episode, please leave a comment. I'll take it from there and explore the suitability.

The Murder of Grace Livingstone - A Baffling COLD CASE - Radio Espial EP68

On a cold December evening in 1992, the peaceful and affluent suburb of Malahide, North Dublin, was shattered by a brutal and baffling crime. Grace Livingstone, a 56-year-old wife, mother, and respected member of the local community, was executed in her own bedroom with a single shotgun blast to the back of the head. Her killer vanished without a trace. Despite early suspicions pointing to her husband, a high-ranking tax investigator who owned the very weapon that was used, no one was ever charged. No motive was ever confirmed. More than thirty years later, the murder of Grace Livingstone remains one of Ireland’s most unsettling and high-profile unsolved cases—an enduring cold case marked by missteps, suspicion, and controversy. What follows is the Radio Espial TIMELINE—a gripping, detailed reconstruction of a murder that stunned a nation. This is not just a cold case... it's a story of how truth and a murderer can vanish in plain sight.
