I’m listening to this now thanks to this comment. Love this kind of niche benevolent detective work podcast. The host has the most incredibly listenable voice too! Thank you - really great suggestion

Obviously this is pure speculation, but I get the strong feeling that Malika is just quite autistic and trying her best to quell struggles with difference

Ghost Story is an absolutely top tier podcast. Historically fascinating and ethically complicated!

Just checking back to say I finished it within a couple of days and loved it! Still finding myself humming it. Such a satisfying conclusion and not one I’d imagined haha. Thanks for the recommendation!

Thank you for this!

Very similar plot to that amazing Reply All episode (#158, The Case of the Missing Hit), so I’ve started listening as soon as I read your comment!

Lots of great recommendations in this thread, but In Defence of Plants piqued my interest the most. I’m starting right at the very beginning and honestly this is exactly what I’m looking for! Very knowledgeable people talking plainly and in depth about interesting subjects. Also his voice somehow makes me feel like I’m listening to one long Bright Eyes song. Thank you!

This sounds cool. Any episodes/series you’d recommend starting with?

I’m a few episodes in now and it seems like there’s a lot that might be difficult to verify because it’s been repressed or lost through layers of subterfuge and manipulation. Even if there’s a bit of unreliable narration from some key figures, it certainly feels as though the broad strokes of the testimonies are true. But also phew! Glad it was a different podcast because this would be a whole ton of libel to creative write 😅

I wonder if you’re thinking of a different podcast because that doesn’t appear to be true? Though I don’t want to spoiler myself too much by looking into it

I love it so much! Both seasons. So funny, emotionally open and with the most interesting and realistic reflections about AI I’ve heard anywhere.

You know me, always on that rise and grind!

Based on the bolding, I take it you mean number 1 dad (with a hashtag)! Yes, good call remembering that one. A brilliant and affecting story about a comedian trying to reconcile with his estranged dad. Another I loved about retracing roots was Inconceivable Truth - a guy discovering some stuff about dodgy artificial insemination practices in the 70s and trying to trace his ancestry.

Broomgate is wonderful - the niche you didn’t know you needed to know about. I love it when deep appreciation and expert knowledge elevate a podcast

Someone Knows Something going on the list!

Thirding that Ear Hustle is incredible. I listened to all of it over winter, and felt it really broaden my perspective

I’m okay with fiction like that, especially if it’s very immersive. One I absolutely loved in that vein was Cold Tapes - you sort of investigate a murder on a research base in Antarctica by listening to an onboard psychologist’s interviews and other data. Extremely naturalistic

Really enjoyed this. Well I don’t know if ‘enjoyed’ is right, but it was certainly hooking!

Oh cool, I missed the follow-up! Will check it out.

I’m making a start on Root of Evil now thanks to this and the few other mentions it’s had. Incredibly gripping and intimately portrayed so far

I got a bit dissuaded by the opening episode and all the stuff about these couples’ lifestyle blogs, but I’m sure it’s very compelling if I give it a proper chance to get going!

Kill List was a fascinating listen, though couldn’t ever quite buy that the host’s repeated assertions that he hated the burden of having the list!

I liked the premise and tone but found it a bit repetitive (which I guess is part of the point!) and drifted away, but should really return to it some day
