I've just started going through the back catalogue of Swindled | A podcast about white-collar crime & corporate greed

The description from the site is
"Swindled is an American true crime podcast written and hosted by an anonymous "concerned citizen", who has never revealed his identity. The scripted series explores the world of white-collar crime, political corruption, and corporate greed."

The hosts voice is a bit weird at first but soon got over it as the stories I've listened to so far are interesting.
 

101-year-old Glaswegian actress, Ida Schuster, talks about growing up in the Gorbals, the daughter of left wing Jewish immigrants from what is now Lithuania.

Only one episode so far, but fascinating. She sounds sharp as a tack too.
I’m sorry to report that Ida Schuster passed away today. I’ll post a link when there’s more.
 
Have any of you, good folk, heard of or listened to the Wind of Change podcast? Is it any good, worth bothering with?

From what I've heard it tells a story of how CIA composed the Wind of Change song that ended up being super popular in Eastern Europe/USSR during the Cold War. Personally I've never heard of this song.

I know of Patrick Radden Keefe from his Say Nothing book about the Troubles in NI, which I thought was very good, had no idea he had interest in Eastern Europe/USSR.
 
Joe Rogan's has been bought by Spotify, they've paid him an alleged $100 million. This is going to lead to a financial disaster for youtube because of their ever more strict monetisation rules.

Play the song on YouTube, you must have heard it. I read an article about this story, it's really interesting.
 
I'm listening to a podcast called The Dropout, it's really good, about the world's youngest self made female billionaire and how it was all a fraud.


Really enjoyed The Missing Cryptoqueen, about a lady who set up a bitcoin scam and got rich then disappeared (similar to the above but both fascinating).


And on a completely different note, The Vivienne and Baga Chipz from Ru Paul's Drag Race have a new podcast, just a couple of episodes so far but it's promising.

I really enjoyed this. Some of the stories were fascinating. Binged it really quickly.
 
Me and a couple of pals started a podcast. One lad does all the legwork - I just turn up!


Nice one - enjoyed that. Looking forward to episode 2.

Currently working my way through The History of Philosophy without any gaps. Lots of episodes and very thorough - it's been going 10 years and is only just getting round to Machiavelli.
