Another vote for this one. It's a Texas Monthly podcast. There's a new one called Stephenville that is good so far, too.

Not OP but this looked interesting. Anywhere to find it besides YouTube?


I'm sorry, I listened to it on Apple podcasts, but it isn't available anymore.

The Turning - Season 1 is about former nuns in Mother Teresa’s order, Season 2 is about George Balanchine and elite ballet. I ran through both seasons in a weekend.

Heavy on seeing inside worlds that are walled off to outsiders and the difference between a serene surface image and the pain and turmoil behind it. Both seasons also look into the cult-like aspects of the organizations.

Bone Valley is very much along the lines of In The Dark (possibly even better, but that's like trying to pick a favorite child).

Cautionary Tales - not a serialized podcast, but a lot of good standalone episodes

Sold a Story - about how kids are taught to read, which sounds like it could be boring but it isn't

The one on the nxivm cult. I think it's on CBC radio podcast.

Sweet Bobby is insane!

Not true crime but I am loving the Rabbit Hole Detectives. Light, fun and interesting.

Every year I ask for podcast recs to keep me entertained during long summer drives, and every year you always come through.

Some of my favorite podcast recommendations have been The Dream (season about MLMs), In the Dark (Curtis Flowers season) and Bear Brook.

I saw a few posts down on this board discussion about a podcast called Scamanda, will check that out. Any other great, multi-episode narrative podcasts released in the last year that you’d recommend?

Thanks!
