But I will say the series came under some criticism for being, I don't know, exploitative of mental illness.

I'll also just say it hit a number of my buttons and maybe I'm unique in that way - small town, southern, fitting in, mental illness, giftedness, loss. It was a very meaningful podcast to me.


I absolutely agree about S-Town. Incredible story. I didn’t know anything about it and I ended up sobbing on the way home from work during one of the episodes

I also was completely riveted by Cold, season 1 - Susan Powell.

Ronan Farrow-Catch and Kill

Criminal w/Phoebe Judge
(Lots of episodes were great but I can't remember exactly which ones)

Teacher's Pet
Crazy story from Australia, not sure how available it is now because the main guy got charged as a result of the podcast reviving the story and it's in the courts now.

I wouldn't say most compelling but I really liked the Criminal episode on the wolf (Wolf 10) paired with the This is Love episode on the wolf pack (episode 19). I can't always listen to Phoebe Judge due to her voice/vocal patterns but the story of those wolves was riveting.

I loved Fake Heiress - BBC. I think she got out of jail recently.

This site has a number of great podcasts. I can’t remember the name of the one that brought me to tears, but the author was intervening a man about his father who himself grew olio fatherless. Very moving.

It's old, but I was so riveted by the first Season of Serial about Adnan Syad.

Looking for ideas, especially nonfiction-y stuff. Thanks!
