As Britain’s official executioner, Albert Pierrepoint hanged notorious murders, spies and war criminals. But he also lived a seemingly ordinary life as a grocery man and pub landlord in Greater Manchester, balancing his work behind the bar with grim professional duties as a Home Office hangman. As his fame grew, so too did doubts about the death penalty and Pierrepoint becomes unwillingly tangled in some of Britain’s most controversial and notorious criminal cases. Chris, Dean and Yakub discuss the peculiar double life and legacy of this enigmatic public figure.

Content: this episode contains descriptions of executions, which, while avoiding too much detail, some listeners may find uncomfortable.
