À propos de ce contenu audio
  • Welcome to The Dave Thomas Podcast, part of DCT Audio , the art of great listening.

  • Welcome and thankyou for taking a moment to see what DCT Audio is about.

  • My name is Dave Thomas and I am a retired police Officer. I spent nearly 30 years policing the streets of Lancashire. After a decade on roads policing, I went into the detective arena where I specialised in investigating serious and complex crime. Finally, I spent the final few years of my career on the child protection unit. It was as challenging role as you might imagine. The skills I learnt as a police officer continue to serve me well to this day.

  • I love radio! It literally saved my life and helped me through an unhappy childhood. All that is in the past, but my love of radio still persists. Perhaps, I am an old romantic, but I find a beauty in the human voice. And so all that came together, when I produced my very first podcast in December 2016. Things have moved on a lot since then, both in my experience and equipment as a podcast creator and voice over artist .

    • In conversation with Bobby Sharma.

      In conversation with Bobby Sharma.
      Nov 16 2025

      Social Influencer and Chef.

      In this episode I chat to Bobby Sharma, the man behind the social media personality Yorkshire Indian. Bobby was born and bred in Leeds to Indian parents. That multi cultural upbringing would later provide the inspiration for Yorkshire Indian.

      We talk about his childhood, his love of cooking which he learnt from his mother and the lock down caused by Covid. Like many, that affected his mental wellbeing and he turned to social media to make people happy by sharing his creative Indian recipes. He quickly became an internet sensation attracting over half a million followers.

      What you see is what you get with Bobby. A genuine bloke just trying to do his best. It’s a funny and yet touching conversation. I hope you enjoy it.

      Murder Squad Senior Detective.

      On the 8th February 2024, former prison officer Lenny Scott was shot six times outside a gym in Skelmersdale, Lancashire. Tragically Lenny succumbed to his injuries several days later.

      A murder investigation was launched, headed up by DCI Lee Wilson, which ultimately led to the conviction of Lennys killer, Elias Morgan. Morgan will spend the next 45 years in gaol before being considered for parole.

      Throughout the investigation, Lee never lost sight of the family left behind after Lenny’s murder and they were always a critical part of every decision Lee made.

      It is a fascinating insight into the life of a Senior Investigating Officer within a Homecide squad.

      Examining Police Wellbeing. Episode 5.
      Oct 12 2025
      In this fifth episode of my podcast series looking at the rising rates of police suicide, I talk with Dr. Noreen Tehrani on how the brain processes trauma from a clinical viewpoint. It’s a fascinating insight into how our brains work, some of which may surprise you.

      TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️
      These podcasts examine and discuss suicide and associated trauma. If you have been affected by anything in these podcasts, you can contact the Samaritans on 116 123

      For several years now, the levels of mental health and well-being within the UK police have been in decline. Many will argue that this is a result of an ever-increasing workload, a reduction in capacity and experience, underfunding, and a perception that social and mainstream media proactively portray a negative narrative of law enforcement within the UK.

      Additionally, lenient sentencing, poor organizational practices, and the disproportionate time spent on officers under investigation have contributed to create a perfect storm. In this short series of podcasts, I will be looking at the rising trend of police officers taking their own lives. I will be speaking with a variety of people to put a spotlight on police suicide, the reasons behind it, and hopefully how we can halt its rise.
