couple of good books on Mossad's "expeditions" out there that go through the more interesting ones (and more) that they skirt over in the post-episode one here

"Hunting Eichmann" by Neal Gascomb is a very good one that came out recently, details a very similar operation (though even more twists, as they needed to get Eichmann back to Israel alive to stand trial).

I think I recognised some of the assassinations mentioned from the book 'Vengeance', by George Jonas, which the film 'Munich' was based on (though some have questioned the veracity of parts of this book).

I listened to it, its a solid 8/10. some might like it more but i thought it started repeating alot of it self towards the last few episodes. V interesting story behind it all, i heard some interviews with some of the contributors on bbc since then.
Def. worth a listen

The new York Times podcast do a weekly interesting story called Sunday read i always find them interesting stories.

seems to be part of the new york times daily podcast series in case anyone else is searching for it. thanks for the podcast tip

A word in your ear

Best podcast about classic Rock and pop music it has good guests on too good presenters no bro dude cliches

Thanks for the heads-up on this podcast. Have subscribed and really enjoying it. Anything other podcasts you could recommend?

Since the Great Recession I've become very interested in economics, and one very good recent podcast on this is Think Like An Economist. The presenters, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, are working economists and educators e.g. Stevenson was an advisor on Joe Biden's transition team last year.

can anyone recommend any Irish podcast looking at business, specifically business related- finance, sustainability technology, banking etc.

Not just the standard RTE and Mc Williams, anyone else worth a listen?~~Thanks

So what's the best podcasts of all time?? The Witness is the first one I listened to and now I'm hooked. Looking for more to get into.

If someone was to ask me what is the best podcast series you've listened to? Then I probably would say - on balance - West Cork as well.

Stuff You Should Know

Omnibus

History of Rome

Love & Radio

These aren't my personal favourites, but it would be difficult to argue that they aren't among the best podcasts in terms of storytelling an production:

This American Life

Serial

S-Town

99% Invisible

I just came across this whole section, didn't realise it existed. Here are a few I'd recommend, apologies if they've been recommended before, there's 22 pages.

They Walk Among Us - true crime quite good, quite consistent

Picture The Scene Podcast - True crime - Quite new but episode 2 is an Irish case, the girl that got kidnapped and killed a few years ago in Dublin and episode 5 amused me. Still new so you can hear teething problems but hopefully could be good

True Crime Investigators UK - True crime - quite unique, they're two ex British police and they actually speak to some of the victims and investigators from the actual crimes - Some they investigated themselves. One of the cases they interview Stephen Downing who was wrongfully imprisoned for 27 years.

Grounded with Louis Theroux - If you like Louis you'll like this, if you don't you'll hate it

Mysterious Universe - Complete nonsense and I should hate it but it constantly makes me laugh. I'm convinced it's a huge p**s-take and the hosts don't believe anything at all. The topics are all paranormal and aliens and stuff like that

Super familiar with the Wilsons - Again logically I should hate this, it's a couple from the states just chatting mostly about nothing important but I find myself listening to it every week still.
