I LOVE a good podcast! Especially since I can listen to them anywhere: in the car, while I’m cleaning the house, or cooking dinner at night. There are so many different types of podcast for every topic that it’s hard to know where to start. I did a Top 5 List of Summer Podcasts that I was loving, but there have been so many amazing new podcasts come out that I wanted to update my list of shows to include them. Below are a few of my new podcast obsessions you should defiantly check out!
Passenger List
I absolutely love that the old fashioned radio drama is making a comeback in its modern form of scripted podcast dramas. With incredible sound engineering and a plot along the lines of Lost, Passenger List is the podcast I am most excited about right now and can’t wait to hear the conclusion. When a plane full of passengers goes missing over the ocean and the wreckage can’t be found, student Kaitlin Le goes searching for her twin brother who vanished on the plane. This show incorporates beautiful audio design that makes you feel like you are listening movie and leaves you developing your own theories about what happened to the missing plane.
The Thing about Pam
I’ve never been a huge Dateline fan since I don’t like to watch shows that leave me wondering if my next door neighbor is a serial killer, but Dateline’s new hit show, The Thing about Pam is fascinating true crime story. A man wrongly convicted of his wife’s murder must search for answers that lead him to question who his wife’s friend Pam is and what her potential involvement in his wife’s murder is. It is a creepy but fascinating story that is told in only the way dateline can.
Bad Batch
From the makers of the hit podcast, Dr. Death (I also highly recommend this one!), Bad Batch explores what happens when a batch the supposed miracle cure of stem cells becomes tainted and leaves people critically ill or dead. I love this show because it examines the relatively new field of stem cell treatments and how profits and shortcuts have led to patients being injured. Like Dr. Death, you’ll finish each episode thinking “How did this ever happen?!?”
