This is a Neighbourhood Watch podcast and I'm Alfie Moore, ex-copper and current stand-up comedian.
Admittedly, it's not the traditional career path, but it's one that's hopefully useful for the purposes of this podcast, where we want to provide you with key advice about crime prevention and put a smile on your face in the process.
Here at the Neighbourhood Watch, we believe that a connected community is one where crime cannot thrive.
I'm delighted to say that my guest today is the presenter, newsreader, podcaster, opera fanatic, and author, Penny Smith.
You might know Penny from the GMTV years or from her current podcast, Pains, Stings, and Automobiles.
Perhaps you remember her hosting crime-related TV programs back in the day like CrimeNet, CrimeFile, and Britain's Most Wanted.
