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

A scam for the ages in terms of the money involved! Ruja Ignatova called herself the Cryptoqueen.

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.
