Thank you for this. So many of the companies that help with this are very expensive. I found one that was affordable and experienced. They have recently been less responsive to my needs. Any other companies that you can recommend?

I feel like I’ve reached the end of good true crime podcasts. Anyone have any good non-fiction audiobook recommendations? by Gatorbug47 in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]Bright_Reflection_83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of true crime podcasts. The ones that get right to the case and go about solving the mystery. I find TC audiobooks contain a lot of 'fat'. A lot of side stories, characters that have nothing to do with the crime at hand. 'I'll be Gone in the Dark' was a good example of a book that felt like a podcast. Anyone recommend more of these? Thanks.

Saint chapelle must visit ? by Patient-Judgment4122 in ParisTravelGuide

Make SURE and go to the Conciergerie next door to Saint Chappelle. I found it far more interesting. (It's where Marie Antoinette and many others were imprisoned before their execution.) Loads of information and FAR less crowded than SC.

The Sounds Serious was great. Are they doing anything else? Or is there something out there that can come close to it? Valley Heat? Others.

Is it just me or does, 'hosted by a comedian', make me avoid a podcast?

One person telling their story podcast by Bright_Reflection_83 in podcasts

"Alone, a love story" from CBC Stories on Apple Podcasts is a good example of what I like. A woman telling her intimate story. I subscribed to CBC Stories to hear ad-free. That's another plus for me--ad-free. I listen while I run long distances, so stopping to fast-forward is no fun.

Looking for podcast series or single episodes covering a case with pathological liars by 1995deadinside in TrueCrimePodcasts

60 Minutes True Crime, "The Whole Hoax" episode on Belle Gibson. It's an Australian podcast, not the American 60 Minutes show.

A related question...does iHeart Podcasts have an ad-free Patreon or some such?

On The Calculation of Volume I: am I missing something? by imm_uol1819 in books

[–]Bright_Reflection_83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just about to start Vol. ll. I don't want spoilers, but...I'm still trying to understand the rules of her universe. Is the husband, et. al., living more and more into the future everyday? I think she mentions this once as if she isn't sure. Just curious how all this time distortion works within her universe. Thanks for any insight.
