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 Bondfinished this, very good listen! Fascinating stuff, who knew there was that much espionage 'not' going on in NZ!
INteresting snippets from Helen Clarke too.

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

All American - S1 is about Tiger Woods.
Is ok, not quite what i was expecting, quite alot so far about Tiger not wanting things to be focussed on his race, particularly as he identifies as cablanasian* rather than black, which apparently pissed some people off.
*A person of mixed race consisting of Caucasian, Black, Asian.

With the Premier League kicking off this weekend I am enjoying The Football Writers Podcast. Not something I'd listen to religiously but a good overview of the game
Also RNZ Caucus - Panel discussion between Guyon Espiner, Lisa Owen, Tim Watkins & Scott Campbell on NZ election related issues that assumes the listener has a brain and the ability to focus for more than a nano-second.

The Great Fail: The Blockbuster Bust
Pretty good listen, looks at how many think that Netflix killed Blockbuster.
Was very interesting.

The whole series is fascinating

@MiketheSnow fascinating is the right word, a few of them I haven't been taken with but some are as you say fascinating but also very good.
Got the Pan-Am one in my list stil

Been enjoying 'what a lad' podcast with James Marshall. The Pranks are pretty funny too.

TBH, I find the series quite slight. I've listened to three of them now and they feel like advertisements for a longer series of podcasts on each topic.
Plus, that woman's voice grates on me.
In saying all that I still want to listen to the Pan Am one.

Been listening to 'Relative Unknown' which is based on a guy who was part of one of the first Hells Angels Chapters and he ends up as a state witness against the gang with his family in Witness Protection, story is told by his daughter decades later.
Good listen.
@Nepia some of them I dont think I'd be interested in a multi ep series about them, so works for me.

Only listened to 2 of these so far...they interview serial killers alreadyin prison for life or on death row.
Good despite what they are about.
So kinda Mind Hunters, but almost light hearted, despite the content, they put paid to some of the theories about what makes a serial killer, with these dudes just talking about the people they killed like we would talk rugby...actually, no, there are heated passionate conversations about rugby, these guys just dont care.
One dude kills a chick, has her in the boot of his car, parked opposite a police station while he is in court for a burglary charge, which he says was bullshit.
Where the bodies are buried

Sorta like the definition of a psychopath

@dogmeat well yeah, but you gotta hear the way these ones talk, so casual, laughing as they talk about what they have done, 2 eps eps so far, and both in prison for about 10 murders all up, yet both reckon they have killed more like 50 each.
Alot of it done over the phone from prison (recorded during Covid)
radio. I've listened to two of them thus far. Bloody good.
