True crime pays off

Chyaz Samuel, who runs Things Are About To Get Weird, is celebrating after taking the No 1 spot on the Spotify UK True Crime chart and No 8 on the overall Top Podcasts chart.

The 33-year-old, originally from Heald Green in Stockport, launched the show, which covers true crime, strange stories and unsolved mysteries, in September 2022 and continues to broadcast right from her spare bedroom in Cheshire.

Chyaz found a passion for storytelling while studying broadcast journalism at university. Keen to combine her talents with her interest in the strange and mysterious, she got the idea for her show and put her plan into action.
