American Scandal

 Looking for a good podcast is increasingly difficult but I finally found a new one, American Scandal. Basically, it's a history lesson.

4 of 4 stars

The Hare Krishna Murders. Yes it's about a murder but I learned about the history of  the Hare Krishna movement. Not as simple as a bunch of people running around in orange robes and weird haircuts.

Bernie Madoff. There are many podcasts and documentaries on this subject but I loved this podcast. I always learn something new. The only thing that is not new, is greed.

The Clinton-Lewinsky Affair. I avoided this one for a while but I'm already hooked. This podcast focuses on Monica.

Oklahoma bombings. More details on the perpetrators.

The kidnapping of Patty Hearst. I guess we will never know if she was in or out.

The Coldest Case in Laramie from Serial

The coldest case in Laramie is a podcast about a murder 30 years prior and narrated by a New York times journalist who was in high school at the time. The podcast tells the story of bad police work, faulty memories and creepy suspects. I can't rate this 4 stars because I thought the recording of the suspect interviews went on a bit too long. The case does not get wrapped up in a nice bow. 3 1/2 stars out of 4

Suspect

 I finished season 1 last year and then forgot about the series, just started season 2. The episodes are clear and concise but I'm basically reviewing season 1. The podcast starts on Halloween night in Redmond, Washington. The next day, a young woman, Aprana is found dead. There is no shortage of suspects. I liked the podcast and it kept me intrigued. By only complaint is the audio on some of the phone interviews.   3 1/2 stars out of 4 https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/e8a3c6e3-3d78-4c83-a61d-a95e70acacb0/suspect
