REAL has been publishing since 2022, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 252 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 140 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a weekly cadence, with the show now in its 9th season.

Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 26 min and 37 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next.

'I'm Fighting the Law for my Sister'

This episode is from my show 'REAL LIVES' - as I recover from a nasty illness and prepare to celebrate a big birthday in a few days time, I'm sharing an incredibly heartbreaking case from a brother who has suffered unfathomable loss and is now fighting for his sister. TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains references to domestic violence and suicide. Whilst the descriptions are not explicit, please take extra care whilst listening.In March 2023, Danielle Haggarty was found unresponsive in the flat of a man she was dating on and off for eight years. The circumstance's in this case revealed a disturbing fact - it's not a crime to witness someone dying and not call for help.Today we're joined by Danielle's brother Jonathan, whose life has been shaped by a series of unimaginable losses, and he is now on a mission to change the law in his sisters name.This is REAL LIVES.If you'd like to support the show, you can do so here:https://patreon.com/REALtruecrimepodcastIf you'd like to connect to share a story on REAL or REAL LIVES, please find me on instagram @naomichannell or @realtruecrimepodcast or by searching my name on LinkedIn, thank you.
