This week on Seeing Red, we head to Cheshire to look at the heartbreaking murder of 15-year-old Alex Rodda. Found dead on a quiet country lane in December 2019, Alex’s case would expose a grim story of teenage violence, control, and a killing that shocked the local community. We unpack who Alex was, what happened in the lead-up to his death, and how the investigation pieced together the final movements of a boy whose life ended far too soon. It’s a devastating case with some deeply unsettling details, and one that left a family, a school, and a town asking how this could happen.Listen to Chalkboard & Chill on Apple Podcasts here: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/chalkboard-chill/id1820815026Listen to Chalkboard & Chill on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/show/6LadgbBGW8MtkgmE6d2HnX?si=BWk1gYMORgydcM0F_ZAbeA

Every week, Mark Randell and Bethan Trueman pull up a chair to dissect the cases that leave them, and likely you, utterly confounded. Their Seeing Red podcast isn't just a recounting of facts; it's a deep, conversational dive into the true crime stories that are as intriguing as they are terrifying. What you'll hear are the details that get under your skin-the bizarre twists, the unsettling motives, and the procedural mysteries that make you question how such things happen. Mark and Bethan approach each narrative with a balanced perspective, ensuring the human elements are never lost amidst the shock. Tuning in means joining a discussion that respects the gravity of the subject while fully engaging with its complexities. For those who find themselves returning to these stories, looking for a new angle or a shared sense of disbelief, this show provides that space. The chemistry between the hosts makes even the darkest topics accessible, turning each episode into a compelling audio experience. If the standard episodes leave you wanting more, there is additional bonus content available directly through their Patreon page. At its core, this is for anyone who has ever been left speechless by a headline and wanted to understand the deeper, often red-faced-inducing story behind it.
