I havenāt heard of that one ā Iāll try it!
Another one for you: Dr. Death. Totally harrowing story about a madman doctor and the failings of the US healthcare system. Excellently produced. Mind-boggling story.

Thanks! I will listen!
Give Radio Harambe a try. It is Animal Kingdom- focused and they do a variety of shows- some are lists of āthe best soundsā āthe most underrated attractionsā others focus on animal conservation efforts or the history/backstory of certain parts of the park. I had such a deeper appreciation and understanding of AK before I went, I really think they are the reason it was my favorite park. They are two guys who just ove the park- not travel agents.

Thanks, sounds fascinating!
The guys at Backside of Magic really like that podcast, too.
Undisclosed began looking at the same case as Serial season 1- in even more detail.

Love Serial and Ask Me Another.
Would recommend Bear Brook if you like Serial And Believed is good too (trigger warning: that one is about sexual abuse)
Other favorites: The Moth, This American Life, TED Radio Hour, 1A, Fresh Air. And for the news roundup each day, Up First.

Summer months I have my commute and I can walk when I get home, outside with headphones on! It clears them all out.

Well, you are naming a large chunk of my podcast subscriptions.
(Although I was burned out by the end of Serial season 1 and just couldnāt do that one anymore.)
Give it another try. The most recent season, about the criminal justice system, will get your blood boiling.
Well but if that is what burned you out from season 1 maybe not. Lol.

When you are done with serial let me know what you think. I have an strong opinion about what went down. Iit would be interesting to see if you concur.
I have listened to all three seasons of Serial!

I have some more general podcast recommendations. Last Seen - itās about an art heist in Boston. My Favorite Murder (skip the chatty part in the beginning if thatās not your thing) - two women discussing murders. They try to be very respectful to the murdered person and their survivors. Discovered at Thanksgiving (sorry, ProfMatt) that my 21yo cousin is also a Murderino. The Daily is a daily (ha!) podcast from the NY Times thatās a 20 minute dive into a topical story. Slate also has two historical podcasts I really enjoy. Slow Burn (season one was about Watergate) and Whistlestop.

I stumbled upon a Disney podcast I enjoy that I donāt think was mentioned yet. Geekinā on WDW-My favorite type of Disney podcasts are the trip reports. I enjoy the āSo, which foot did you start with?ā type of details. I do fast forward through the first 5-10 minutes of this often 2 hour podcast (they are travel agents).
I actually really dislike disUnplugged. It feels like a boys club, not much diversity of point of view. I think that may be why I do enjoy BOG, the 3 people who host it are each pretty different and I like their banter.
