I've been really into two lately:

Sinisterhood- stories about all things sinister- true crime, paranormal, etc. Hosted by two ladies, one of which is a lawyer, which really adds to the discussions!

Tooth and Claw- animal attack stories, but with a focus on education instead of sensationalism. I hardly ever go into the wilderness, but if I do run into a bear at any point, I'm going to be SO prepared!!

It was only an 8-part series, but I recently listened to Scamanda and really enjoyed it. Very in-depth look at Amanda Riley and her years-long scam of faking cancer to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations.

For an ongoing podcast, Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know. Goes into some weird and wacky news, history, and stories, very enjoyable listen. Also Scamfluencers for… well, stories about celebrity/influencer scammers.

Downloading Scamanda right now! I've never heard of this but I'm already invested

I've been trying to get into Scamanda but the way it is structured and the pacing is just throwing me for a loop. I've restarted it like 4 times and I still can't follow. Probably just a me problem though.
