    @taniwharugby Yeah, it is surprisingly good. I was the same as you before listening.

    Just finished S1 of Gangster Capitalism, the one about the uni scandal. Really interesting, but his podcasts Peter out in the end. It’s not bad but they just finish.

    MIssing in Alaska

    Alaska 1972, 2 Congressmen vanish on a small plane, with speculation about a mob hit as well as to do with ties to the Croatian War.

    Only about 4 eps in, is pretty good.

    Is that date correct?

    @Nepia my bad, typed war, so no, wrong...but had Croat links (was a letter a widow supposedly received from some defunk Croat linked group claiming responsibility for the plane going missing)

    Is some interesting plane stuff too, that I expect @Snowy and @Machpants would find even more interesting.

    American Skyjacker - the tale of Martin 'Mac' McNally who attempted to get away with $500k after hijacking a plane, about 4 eps in, good listen.

    The Bomb - which is the story of Leo Szilard who flees Nazi Germany and discovers how to use Nuclear power to make a bomb, only listened to 1 ep, but seems promsing

    The Service podcast

    The Service podcast

    Spies. Surveillance. And the unveiling of NZ's biggest Cold War secret.

    NZ SIS (allegedly) broke into the Czech embassy in Wellington to steal the Soviets encryption codes.

    interesting personal accounts. Typical NZ #8 wire she'll be right with a soupcon of Bond ; James Bond

    Wow.

    Obviously very long but incredibly enlightening and actually an endorsement of blm, the actual concept, not the political power grab.

    2 blokes who work to help wrongfully convicted people in USA. Also shed light on the most ridiculous justice system in the history of mankind.

    They had Joe rogan weeping

    Wow.

    @Siam might check it out - we're 3 episodes into a 4 part series "The Innocence Network" about 4 cases the innocence project took up. Really moving and just fuuuuuck.

    @Bones American Justice system is crazy, you sit there and shake your head...people moan about our system, but fuuck!

    You listened to S2 of In the Dark about Curtis Flowers (think the innocence project helped out his case)

    @dogmeat started on ep1 of The Service, sounds very promising.

    @Tim Would have been good if they never made The Blair Witch Project. Bloody awful.

    started listening to Military Murder, unsure if it is (or will be) good as I am only 25 mins into ep1, but holy fuck, the actual murder and hours post-murder, WTF!
