    They Walk Among Us.

    I think this show is now up with Casefile as perhaps the best True Crime show out there. Consistently excellent cases and straight matter of fact recounting of the facts.

    It was mentioned on here somewhere already but I can't find the post..., I just finished Stephen Fry's Great Leap Years podcast.

    I loved it, humorous, extremely interesting, well researched and delivered IMO.

    I tried Linekar's podcast with Danny Baker "Behind Closed doors".

    I do like Linekar's wit and would agree with a lot of his views. Baker, however, seems determined to make it backwards focused, terrace chants in the 70's/80's, how the game was in that day etc. His voice also wrecks my head.

    Pity - thought I was really going to enjoy it

    Would agree on Danny Baker. A pain in the arse.

    Recently came across “Killafornia Dreaming” podcast. Really enjoying them. Unsolved crimes and also murder cases. They did a 3 part on James Bulger case.

    I put it up in the recommended podcasts thread. It really was a fantastic listen. Stephen Fry has a few others along a similar theme, but you can only get them on Audible.

    I was given a ticket for Dreamgun Film Reads as a present recently so I thought I should start listening to their stuff.

    They take a popular movie and do a comedy riff on the script, performing it live. It sounds a bit naff but I'm liking it a lot, had some real laugh out loud moments.

    Has Household Name been mentioned? Offbeat look at big US stores - quite quirky. Listened to an episode today about the last Blockbuster stores.

    Even better live as you miss out on their expressions etc.

    Their live shows are a blast. One of the best comedy nights out you can have in Dublin.

    Must be disappointing to hear other podcasts if you thought hardcore history or common sense was the standard.
    HH is the only podcasts I actually save for future repeat listens.

    Ya, the bar was set kinda high.

    I don't support any podcasts through Patron or the like but I've bought most of his episodes through this website. The work that must go into each episode is amazing. There my go to's when ever I'm driving cross country.

    Listened to Snap Judgement's 'This Is Not A Drill' episode. The story of the false Hawaiian missile alert last January. Just seemed to be chaos and a bit alarming.

    Daniele Bolleli's is as close to DCarlin's out there I'd say. Just a good bit more adverts and a very cool but strong Italian accent leaves the podcast more of a task to listen to.

    I enjoyed The Last Days of August podcast available with an Audible sub.

    7 30 minute episodes investigating the reasons why a pornstar killed herself.

    Just finished listening to How To Burn A Million Quid from BBC Radio 4. It's a comedy recreation of the life and times of the KLF leading up to them burning a million pounds. Really enjoyed it.

    The Jill Meagher episode on Mens Rea podcast. Jesus, no words for that piece of shlt who murdered her. The whole thing is maddening beyond words. I was familiar with the case and was aware he has previous convictions, but when you listen to the extent of what he got up to and what he got away with, it’s just disgraceful.

    Currently working my way through This Podcast Will Kill You

    Each week they talk about an infectious disease from its biological traits to its history with humans. Both hosts are epidemiologists so they know their subject matter.

    Got listening to this for some reason. About an american football player who was jailed for murder and then committed suicide. Only listened to 1st episode but its not bad. Based on investigations done by journalists at the Boston Globe newspaper.
