Cold case files, nice little short cases to listen too

the new jon ronson audible podcast 'the butterfly effect' all eps are available

anyone familiar with his work will love this , he follows the effect of free porn and follows threads from story to story

Is anybody enjoying homecoming? I've started listening to it and am really struggling. The actor who plays Heidi is likeable but David schwimmer will always be Ross from friends with that whiney voice.

Is there an error in it that she gives the date of interviews as April 2017 but is currently working elsewhere having not worked there in 4 years or does it all become clear if I stick with it?

I'm listening to The Butterfly Effect and it's very good, as you would expect.

I also recently tried out Michael Ian Black's "How to be amazing" and I think I'll become a regular listener. It's very well structured and edited and even if it's an episode with someone I'm not familiar with, I always get something from it.

Absolutely love it, and I think Schwimmer is great. His character is absolutely supposed to be like that and very very unlikable.

And yes it will all become clear

Just finished listening to In the Dark. Absolutely mind blowing. Fantastic podcast. Very similar to Serial, narrative wise, but far superior.

Just listened to episode 1 of You Made It Weird with Pete Holmes. It was from 5 years ago with Kumail Nanjiani. Basically the premise if that he interviews a comedian each time and they talk for an hour and he introduces something weird that he knows about them 3 times. I found this episode very funny and I'll listen to another few to see if the standard stays as high. There's 385 episodes so it'll take a while to get through them.

He's had some high profile guests as listed here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Made_It_Weird_with_Pete_Holmes

The Black Oil

Recent listenings.

Science Vs. Glad it's black. This one was about detox, toxins, juicing...unsurprisingly, all bollocks.

On Point, WBUR - good hurricane coverage, I thought.

Been listening to a few of Sam Sanders' It's Been A Minute, NPR. It's a relatively new podcast. First one I tried was about Charlottesville. Up next, an interview with Danzy Senna, never heard of her. Just straight talk about race, identity - honest and unfiltered.

Vox's I Think You're Interesting.

An interview with Kellie Martin (most famous for playing Lucy Knight in ER). Didn't recognise her voice at first. She lost her sister a week before she took the gig. Finished that one now about 20 minutes into an episode with Nancy Cartwright - aka the voice of Bart Simpson. Voice actors don't get much coverage, so it's good to hear her story.

Mogul and Crimetown from Gimlet - both good I thought.

degsie

After On podcasts hosted my Rob Reid. Geeky podcasts loosely based around tech topics in his current book.

Crimetown - I really like it

Crimetown is great, enjoyed that podcast. Maybe dragged out an episode too long, but well put together show

It was a well put together show for sure, some of the individual episodes were fantastic. Though I thought it was a bit of a missed opportunity because, at least at first, it promised to be a really great mix of a character study mixed with high entertainment, but, after a while, it seemed happy to be just a collection of crime stories that were only often tangentially connected to each other.

I cherry-picked some You Made It Weird episodes, Chelsea Peretti and June Diane Raphael.

They are both hilarious and very interesting but I'm struggling to make it through episodes because of Pete's exaggerated laughter and coughing into the mic.

Sworn, its by the crew behind Up and Vanished, they release short series every few months. Enjoyed it.

BackforFPL

Started on the new season of Teacher's Lounge on Stitcher Premium - more quality absurd humour from Big Grande.

Season 1 is out free on podcasting apps now though - worth checking out.

Rumpy Pumpy

Not a regular listener, but checked out the WTF episode with Alice Cooper. Cooper is always an entertaining sort, and he seemed to form a rapport with Maron, especially when they started talking about guys in LA they both knew before they got sober.

I finally started to listen to Dan Carlins Hardcore History a few weeks ago. Amazing podcast, every podcast is now secondary to HH for me now. I reckon I'll listen to a few of them more than once.

They are absolutely amazing. The work Dan must put into his subject is astonishing.

Arghus

Yeah Dan's the man. It's a pity he hasn't had a new episode of his Common Sense podcast for a few months. He's one of the men whose opinion on current events in The States I'd be dying to hear.

Cienciano

I listened to a few Common Sense too, really enjoyed them. Hardcore History is epic though, he's some man for telling a story

Started listening to Untold: The Daniel Morgan Murder on spotify the other day.

Listened to Canadian true crime but had to turn off half way through, too gruesome.

I have listen to a lot of this podcast. Did you listen to the Tim Bosma case that lead to the Dylan Millard ones?? The victim impact statement from the wife was so moving and really stuck with me. Was quite hard to listen to without being moved i thought.

Just started 'Dirty John' - if you like suspense and entertainment - this definitely ticks all the boxes!

Just started Dirty John. Sounds promising so far!

the joe rogan experience- they are 3 hour interviews/discussions with Joe (comedian, ufc fighter /expert/commentator / tv presenter) and Comedian friends of his. This podcast is exceptional, the amount of topics they cover is amazing . give it a try well worth a listen don't let the fact he is heavily involved in the ufc put you off the shows goes way beyond that.
I have listened to 5 of them in the last week (15 hours and cant wait to listen to the next one )
