Today I listened to...

The Black Oil

Catching up on Snap Judgement. Episode 612 Unforgigven featured a story of a woman who lost her husband. He died in the line of duty as an officer with the NYPD bomb squad. She later corresponded with the woman jailed in connection with his death. All was going well, very well, until they met. Found it quite moving.

The Black Oil

Just started an episode of On Point and they opened with news about Tom Ashbrook.

Sounds like it might be the end of him.

Listening to True Crime All The Time and enjoying it. Covering cases I’ve never heard as well as biggies. Bit on style of True Crime Garage but dude two isn’t as annoying as the Captain.

Looking for a true crime story to listen to along the lines of Dirty John, SKS, In the dark standards... anything good lately?

Limetown looks good

Limetown isn't true crime. Sci fi fiction.

Listening to Slow Burn. It's a podcast about Watergate and how it went from this story that many didn't seem to care about to the biggest show in the world. Pretty good. The history is just so fascinating in and of itself and then they have lots of good talking heads popping in to fill out the blanks. Only a few episodes are up so far but I've found it entertaining.

Someone on the Casefile thread recommended Trace which is a cold case investigation into an Australian :eek:(I know!) murder in 1980

Also A Killing on the Cape is pretty good

Is season 2 of someone knows something better than season 1? I found season 1 kind of boring, as bad as that sounds.

Season 2 very good, couldn't get into 3 and couldn't listen to 1 as a kiddie, can't do those ones.

Listened to Song Exploder, which has musicians talk through the creative process of writing a specific songs, recent ones have been on REM, Nine Inch Nails and The roots. Well worth a listen.

Tried the first episode of Limetown and enjoyed it. I see a few post scattered around but it may merit its own thread as a second season is coming?

Getting frustrated with Nightvale so unsubscribed, enjoyed it for a long while but feel its gotten very repetitive.

Song Exploder is great.

The Inquiry by the BBC World Service. Excellent podcast about things in the news: what is bitcoin, North Korea’s nuclear bomb capabilities, is the Pope a Catholic etc. Haven’t listened to a dud one yet.

Started listening to My Dad wrote a Porno recently and it's made me laugh a lot. Good for a trip home from work to cheer you up after a tough day.

Very good podcast: no-nonsense BBC brain-food. I'd recommend a vaguely similar BBC show The Briefing Room - a thirty minute crash course in a topical subject by experts of that subject. It's got a very similar approach to The Inquiry.

Hidden Brain by NPR.

really good topical exploration of a topic that verges on a mix of things about how the mind works / humans think intersects with business and lots of other ways just at the right level for a podcast. (not too deep/technical/taxing, not too flimsy)
really recommend this if you haven't heard of it yet and it's your sort of thing.

Whats the story with podcast charts. The blindboy podcast keeps saying its number one in the irish charts. I don't see that anywhere when i google lists.

noveltea

I just finished listening to Ambushed. It's quite good. It's a true story about a RCMP officer and his partner who were murdered. It's based in Alberta.

iTunes have been ranking it number one in their app pretty much constantly since it came out. Under the comedy section.

Having said that I don't really get their ranking system. Regularly see very very old podcasts of little-listened to RTE shows popping up down the charts. Like - who's downloading Neil Delamere's Second Republic or Ray D'Arcy's mailbag in 2018?

Ray D'Arcy and Neil Delamere I'd say

Atlanta Monster it’s by Payne Lindsey who did Up and Vanished (Tara Grimstead case), very promising so far will be an 8 episode series.

AFAIK that iTunes chart isn't who is really number one. Just who has gotten the most recent subscribers

Listened to sodajerker yesterday for the first time. Noel Gallagher and Imelda May episodes. Really enjoyed it. They get really in to how certain songs were written and it leads to some great stories. The guests come across really interested and relaxed, as it's not your run of the mill interview that they are used to doing every day.

Would recommend
