This is one of the best podcast series Iāve ever listened to. Itās the story of the disappearance of Susan Powell. Lots of weird Mormon family stuff going on here and utterly tragic. Iām seeing that there are other seasons, which I canāt vouch for, but season one got to me.

deep dives on schemes, scams, or corporate / political scandals are very interesting and generally not insensitive about violence in the way the ātrue crimeā genre can be, i donāt really like the ātrue crimeā genre bc of that so here are some outside that main realm, either recād to me (irl) or that i have listened to that are really interesting:
- the dropout: follows the rise and fall of everyoneās favorite girlboss and founder of theranos, elizabeth holmes and how she got a bunch of funding to start a healthcare company based on fake science! and also how she got found out. (if you enjoy it, thereās also bad blood: the final chapter)
- hooked: tells the story of a famous bank robber and also the US opioid epidemic (together)
- queen of the con: really wild, this woman literally conned a bunch of professional athletes out of their money just by lying all the time
- youāre wrong about: they have episodes on all topics (like urban legends, movies, politics etc) but some are on famous ācrimeā stories and debunking common myths, like flight 571, tonya harding, etc. imo it is not sensationalized the way some of the āmurder podcastsā are but possibly bc itās not a true crime podcast
- mother country radicals: set mostly in the 1970s, it talks about this guyās experience growing up with the Weather Underground, and their many militant radical actions (like, they literally bomb the government, rob banks to fund their organizing, prison breaks etc)
- the dream (season one): basically talks about a ton of MLMs with crazy examples and some of the more well-known ones!

The Deck
great podcast that brings attention to cold cases that need publicity and are close to being solved
Itās in relation to the cold case playing card decks (a deck w cards featuring a photograph and factual info about the unsolved case) these decks are passed out to hundreds of thousands of inmates and bc of them there are multiple cold cases that have now been solved
itās legitimately investigative reporting and brings awareness to a good cause they also donate majority of proceeds to a foundation that helps provide resourses to help solve these homicides
Itās definitely gory at times, and sad, but itās interesting if youāre into that sort of thing
Cults
Literally just discusses different cults throughout the world and history and why ppl join them/ how cult leaders come to be
Some episodes are gruesome and some are crazy interesting in the sense of how much some cults have impacted culture as it is today itās really insightful
