+1


It really remains the best one.


Currently listening to the book by his cousin. I am so conflicted - how could he get convicted. What am I missing? He had a terrible lawyer but it appears that there was zero evidence. And yes, I understand there are wrongful convictions all the time.

Yeah, it's not so great any more. But I agree this is a fantastic episode, as is Boy in Photo.

Listen to Heavyweight with Jonathan Goldstein. Best episode is episode 1, and there's a follow up to it, episode 9. I also love episode 2. Look them up, they're fantastic single-story episodes.

I haven't read all the responses so maybe this was mentioned, but I'd recommend Tom Brown's Body.

Most delightful podcast episode(s): Alison Brie on the Darkest Timeline with Ken Jeong and Joel McHale

Which podcast platform do you use? I use Spotify and there's a setting to toggle for continuous play.

I'm currently listening to 544 Days and I am really liking it.


For 544 days, Jason Rezaian was held hostage in Iran’s notorious Evin prison. Interrogated. Sealed off from the outside world. He was accused of being an American spy, though his formal title was Washington Post Tehran Correspondent. This is a story about government and family and journalism, and what it took to free an innocent man… all while navigating the high-stakes world of nuclear diplomacy.


I'm not a big politics fan and just barely remember when this happened, but Jason Rezaian is the one doing the podcast and he's fantastic at it. A friend told me to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. I'm definitely more of a crime podcast person.

This thread is helping me branch out a bit.
