Plenty of good stuff on BBC Sounds, true crime stuff like Beyond Reasonable Doubt which in turn got me into The Staircase on Netflix

Real Dictators. The first two episodes have been about Kim Jong Il, and were captivating listening. Narrated by Paul McGann, and with very high production values. Straight into my subscriptions.

I've been listening to "The Dating Game Killer". It is pretty good. The whole thing is out, just six episodes, there's actually an interesting story to it.

A scam for the ages in terms of the money involved! Ruja Ignatova called herself the Cryptoqueen. She told people she had invented a cryptocurrency to rival Bitcoin, and persuaded them to invest billions. Then, two years ago, she disappeared. Jamie Bartlett spent months investigating how she did it for the Missing Cryptoqueen podcast, and trying to figure out where she's hiding.

I really enjoyed it. I had never heard of OneCoin before.

I would definitely recommend this one to others.

Thanks Janey, I keep on forgetting about BBC Sounds.

Pro Football Focus (PFF) Podcast is a good source for NFL news and analysis

Looking for something new to listen to then try Bagman with Rachel Maddow. Podcast series about Spiro Agnew (Nixon's Vice President) and how was removed from power. Excellent.

I discovered Geek's Guide to the Galaxy not long ago. Good discussion of sf, fantasy, horror, gaming, and similar topics. Lots of authors on the panels so you get some good insights.
