Back in December, we had Peter Bleksley on the pod, and it was one of our most popular episodes ever! So we decided to get Peter back to tell even more of his crazy stories and to update us on his hunt for Kevin Parle, one of Britain’s most wanted. Peter did NOT disappoint us a second time round, telling us stories about police interrogations, being offered drugs while undercover and almost having his cover blown in an incredibly dangerous situation. Guns, babies, drugs, buckets of piss, the BAFTAS and the Italian Mafia… Peter’s one of the best story tellers around. If you haven’t already heard it, make sure you check out our first episode with Peter:  064 - PETER BLEKSLEY - Undercover Police Officer on Being Taken Hostage, Witness Protection & Drug Busts!  We hope you enjoy this episode as much as the first one!

This is one of the most mind blowing episodes of Happy Hour we’ve ever done. It was an absolute pleasure to be joined by Raphael Rowe, a man who spent twelve years in prison for a series of crimes he did not commit. In this episode, he tells his story. Raphael opened up about his childhood in South East London, what happened on the night he was arrested, how he was treated by the justice system and how racism played a part in his wrongful conviction. He also shared what it’s like being an innocent man in one of the UK’s highest security prisons, where he got to know some of the country’s most notorious criminals, including Reggie Kray and Charles Bronson. If that wasn't enough, in the second half of the show, we got to hear exclusive stories from Raphael’s time filming Netflix’s docuseries ‘Inside World’s Toughest Prisons’, which has seem him travel to some of the most dangerous prisons on the planet, in countries such as Paraguay, Brazil and the Philippines. He spoke about some of the horrific conditions he’s seen and told us what it’s like speaking to the people incarcerated there. Some of the stuff he’s seen left us speechless.
