Steve's Podcast Reviews

  Something is wrong handles different relationships. Each season focus on one relationship which are not necessarily domestic. I got through the first season which took some doing. The audio is not that good at times which the host "apologizes in advance". The first season is basically voyeurism of a woman meeting the man of her dreams only to eventually find out he not the guy who she thinks he is. For the first 4 episodes, I was thinking "everybody is nuts" here until the guy really crosses the line. 3 out of 5 stars if you can stand the audio . The second season is about Munchausen's syndrome. Decided to pass on that season.

  Flood lines  is a podcast about hurricane Katrina and its' aftermath. As it turns out, Katrina did not hit New Orleans directly but was directly involved in the breach of the levees. There are parallel stories here, handling of the crisis, racism and who was responsible for the levee breach. Great story telling with excellent audio and great commentary.  5 of 5 stars

 Another Dateline podcast, Motive for Murder . This podcast tells the story of a bizarre murder with no suspects, until another murder happens. I liked this podcast but in true Dateline form, they leave out a few details in the beginning. You will ask yourself "this guy wasn't a suspect at the beginning?"  This multiple episode show is hosted by Josh Mankiewicz, a familiar voice on Dateline. 3 1/2 out of 4 stars

 I didn't know Dateline had podcasts. The moderators are the same guys from the TV show and Keith Morrison was the host for this podcast,  " The Thing about Pam ".  The title indicates the path of this show but still one of the best I've listened to. This is about convicting the wrong person in a crime and serving justice to another.  4 out of 4 stars

Another true crime podcast, Somebody Know Something . As the title implies, these are cold cases trying to be solved years later. Season 1 First of all the production quality is great but I can tell the host is still learning. This is the story of a missing Canadian 5 year old boy in 1972. I wanted to like this one but the episodes go on way too long and E 4 was a complete waste. The title should have been nobody knows anything. I'm going to try season 2. Season 2 I tried season 2, podcast not my type. 1 out of 4 stars

We crashed is the story of the rise and fall of Adam Neumann and his company We Work. This is another flash in the pan company that sucked investors in but not any investor. This really is the story of CEO, Adam Neumann and Soft Bank. It's only two parts but you will be shaking your head wondering how something like this happens. It happened and it's a good podcast. 4 out of 4 stars

I started this podcast yesterday while on a long flight from Chicago.  Subject matter includes subjects generally not talked about. Last updated 2/28/2020 I've listened to 3 episodes now. The host and people assisting in the podcast are very well spoken and appear to be highly intelligent. If you like listening to film students describe an independant movie, this may be for you. 5 Stars None 4 out of 5 Stars Episode  367, Peace Lines This show intrigued me because the subject was peace walls in Belfast. I've been to Belfast and to my surprise, they do exist. 3 out of 5 Stars Episode 29, Cul-de-Sac. This who talks the suburbs and living in a Cul-de-Sac. Actually, nothing here to talk about. I get what your saying but the suburbs weren't that bad. Episode 69, Kowloon walled city. Somewhat interesting about the history Kowloon but nothing wanted me to say, wow. You can see a vision of the old Kowloon in the video game, Call of Duty. I'm not sure I needed to know...
