Steve's Podcast Reviews

 This podcast is narrated by the Wall Street journalist who broke the story of Theranos. There is only season 1 but I'm guessing season 2 will follow after the conclusion of the trail. This is a well done podcast that will keep your interest. Elizabeth Holmes is a piece of work and I'm amazed at her chutzpah. 4 out of 4 stars Bad Blood link

Started a new podcast, You're wrong about . Two journalists do the show and compliment each other well. I tried 3 or 4 before I decided this is a good podcast. Favorites so far: A Dingo's got my baby. The history of the famous catchphrase.  Tonya Harding (Two parts) Before you roll you eyes, give it a try. Tipper Gore vs. Heavy metal. Actually didn't know this happened Anti-Vaccine movement

 Decoder ring podcast is basically, what was really happening in the background of the main story. I've only listened to 4or 5 shows so far and I like but not really hooked yet. Some of the shows seem to run out of material and an adjacent, unnecessary subject is added. Favorite shows so far: Chuck E. Cheese Pizza War. I knew about chuck e cheese but not everything. Baby Shark. Where did that ear worm come from? 3 1/2 stars out of 5

  Spectacular Failures  is about, well, spectacular failures. Think, too big to fail and you will get the idea. Each episode is a new failure. Favorites so far: Schlitz Beer goes bad Blue Apron Wilts Pan Am hits major turbulence MoviePass begins with plenty of drama Family fighting sends U-Haul on a detour I give the podcast a 4 out of 5 stars. Some episodes 5 stars

The Norco 80 podcast is old story that has been told many times. If you want to know why police needed bigger weapons, this is the story. The podcast is done well and really no complaints but I've read the book and its much better. My recommendation is to read the book ( link here ) then listen to the podcast. 4 out of 5 stars

 The Chameleon: Con Queen of Hollywood is probably the strangest plot I've ever listened too. After episode 4, I binged it to the end. Listening to the first episodes makes you think "What is the scam here" ? Eventually the question is answered but it's very twisted. 5 out of 5 Stars

  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.
