    Stumbled across this new podcast called American Jihadi

    American journalist is telling a story of an american kid who went to Somalia to fight for Al Shabaab. The journalist tried to track him down for years with no avail. Now the kid randomly reached out to him.

    Just 1 episode so far, but it was good. Could be promising.

    He's told it twice on his podcasts, but Robert Evans (Behind the Bastards, Worst Year Ever) going to Capitol Grille and using the wrong spoon for his soup, then the waiter asking him if something was wrong w his soup spoon is hilarious.

    The Catch and Kill is riveting, its by journalist Ronnan Farrow that broke the Weinstein stuff to the New Yorker. Also, just continues to show how much of a complete dirtbag Weinstein really is/was.

    I havent read the book, but most of the pod reviews say its completely different from book and a good compliment to it, so def. worth the listen.

    Not sure if it’s been mentioned in here but the Koncrete Podcast YouTube videos of former real estate con artist turned true crime author Matthew Cox are pretty great. Dude can spin a yarn.

    The 1st interview details his mortgage fraud and run from the law:


    The second deals with his 12 years in federal prison and subsequent release:


    The third deals with his latest book about a financial adviser he was in prison with who embezzled millions, (Not as good as the first 2 but a decent listen):

    Tried listening to Solve. It seems like they just plant one clue in there to force the answer to be what they want and try and disguise it with the other 30 minutes. The outcomes don’t make sense.

    Unsure if people have discussed here, but Michael Lewis’s podcast is phenomenal. The common theme is the loss of independent referees in life to protect regular people from larger institutions (ie people vs banks or people vs the media). The storytelling is great, and there are very limited ads.

    on the contrary, I was heavily disappointed with this newest season of slow burn about Tupac vs B.I.G. Story telling wasn’t the best, and it was ad overkill. The episode about Tupac getting shot and killed in Vegas was 35 minutes and had 5 ad breaks...

    I just started listening to “serial killers.” Started with their latest 3 parts on Jeffrey dahmer. The subject matter is fascinating. It’s really well researched and laid out as well. The only strange thing is the hosts sound completely robotic, but it’s actually a good change from all of the other true crime pods where they tend to ramble

    Carlos Ghosn’s trial was poised to be one of the most closely watched in Japanese history — a case involving claims of corporate greed, wounded national pride and a rigged legal system. Then the former Nissan chief pulled off an unimaginable escape. Guest: Ben Dooley, a business reporter for The New York Times based in Japan. For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

    Background reading: Mr. Ghosn leaves behind a contentious history at one of the world’s largest car manufacturers, a record which is now unlikely to be scrutinized in Japanese courts. “Nobody’s going to take it from me,” Mr. Ghosn said of his legacy.The tycoon’s escape preparations spanned the globe, revealing the means by which the well-connected can evade legal accountability.

    It’s pretty good. I have an autographed copy of his boarding pass when he flew out of my gate. He went down on the plane early and I took pics of him with the flight attendants for them. This was shortly before the allegations were blown open. Thinking a lbout that with the context that came out since is weird. At the time it was a cool moment.

    Enjoying it so far. I certainly remember it but probably didn't process at the time just how terrifying it would've been to live there at the time.

    I usually love Wondery but Blood Ties is awful. It’s about as tactful as a Saved by the Bell PSA. Anyone remember “SAY NOPE TO DOPE?” and Johnny Dakota?
