What have you already listened to and enjoyed? The original Slow Burn on Watergate and Bag Man on Spiro Agnew are old but incredibly good.

Pods that aren't recaps:
Beyond the Breakers (shipwrecks)
Garden Plots with Skeletor
You're Wrong About

I love You’re Wrong About, pre-Michael’s departure though. I find it less enjoyable after he left.

Believed - this is the story of how Larry Nassar got away with abusing the gymnasts.

The Dream - about MLMs, by Jane Marie, a TAL alum

Finding Fred - about Mr. Rogers

Dead Eyes - young actor was fired by Tom Hanks from bit part on Band of Brothers. Great exploration on themes of rejection and how we let it define us.

Band of Brothers, book on tape

Highly recommend. I listened to this from Florida to Maryland in the car.

There’s some incredible episodes in the Reply All archive

I downloaded a bunch of Bill Nye podcasts for a long drive with my 11 year old son and I enjoyed them so much, I ended up listening to a bunch more on the return solo drive.

Stuff You Should Know

If you'd consider dabbling in true crime: In the Dark from APM reports. Specifically, season 2. The case went to the supreme court. It's really well reported and a very interesting and compelling story. I believe they won a Peabody award for it.

Also agree with Freakanomics, This American Life, and I'd like to add Code Switch, icymi, Normal Gossip, the Line, 9/12, Running from Cops (those last 3 are Dan Taberski - he is great). Have fun!

How I Built This

I'm a simple lady, so these probably are things you already listen to, but I have similar interests and my favorites are

Hidden Brain
Freakonomics
This American Life

A combination of those three has gotten me through many 13 hour road trips

This Podcast Will Kill You! Or The Emily Show.

If you want fiction, Alice Isn’t Dead or Wolf 360.

Next week I’ll be driving 8-9 hours straight (and returning four days later!). I’m looking for some compelling, in-depth podcasts on honestly anything. I’m into politics, economics, new age stuff, esoterica, biographical/human interest things - pretty broad range of interests (but not into true crime). Would love your suggestions, thank you!
