I've just discovered Lore Podcast
"Lore is a bi-weekly podcast about true life scary stories.
The people, places, and things of our darkest nightmares all have real facts at their core. Each episode of Lore looks into a uniquely scary tale and uncovers the truth behind it.
Sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction"

Not really sure why I looked at this thread, but the heavy metal historian looks good and will certainly be taking a couple of epsiodes to work each day, ta
Trouble is, I m sure it will get me wanting lots more stuff.

The Memory Palace is a wonderful little gem. It's a series of short, historical tales told in a way that I find quite magical.

Yipchaa!
Lore has been mentioned in discussions about:
but I've yet to check it out.The Black Tapes Podcast
A docudrama (i.e. not real) that's riffing on Serial, but about the supernatural and occult. It has its faults but is engaging and fans of Serial will enjoy the many nods..
Also mentioned a fair bit is Limetown Stories, though again I've yet to check it out myself.

I listened to the first episode of Limetown Stories today and I like it so far!
Throbbing Angel
this is no longer a place of honour
Yes - this is a very good series -listened to it all last week after reading this Who killed Elsie Frost? - BBC News

Finished now. Bit unsatisfying (because it's real rather than crime drama). I thought the sister and brother came across amazingly well - brave and honest and dignified.

You're ahead of me!
I think I had trouble getting it when I last tried, will give it another go.

It's good. Only 2 episodes plus a little teaser online so far and it's not clear how quickly the rest will come...You're ahead of me!

Downloaded the first two eps of this, plus the first three of Lore. Like Lore quite a bit so far, Limetown suffered from me being very drousy on the commute to work so possibly not paying full attention
As you say though, only two so far so can relisten at some point

I'm about 7 episodes into Undisclosed (although I keep listening to it at bedtime and falling asleep so missing bits).
The police work on the case seems incredibly shoddy - there seem to be some really obvious questions that nobody seemed to ask or get answers to. At the end of Serial, it felt inconclusive, but that it could have gone either way, but going through the details, the case seems incredibly flimsy.
It's an interesting companion to the Wire and David Simon's other work about the Baltimore police. Thinking about the volume of murders that the Baltimore police had to deal with and the pressure they're under to close cases then you can sort of see how it happens.

Podcasts have replaced TV for me. Actually even radio. I will often have one on in the background of an evening if in doors.
Seen a couple more ^ to add now.

Undisclosed is brilliant, there are some really interesting things happening with Adnan's case which Undisclosed follows. I'm not sure whether he did it but I don't think he should have been convicted on the evidence presented. As you say, it's incredibly shoddy.
Mrs Miggins

I don't think he did it. But I'll give Undisclosed a whirl. There has always been something really funny about Jay. I don't know what's going on there.

Some more good uns I've found
Podcasts - Very much the same as middleeastweek, it's even done by the same people, but it's focused on jihadists
Irish Revolution Podcast series by Michael Laffan - podcast, more of a series of lectures, about Irish history in the 19th century and early 20th century, there are other interesting looking podcasts on the same site but i haven't explored them yet
Belabored | Dissent Magazine trade union podcast, US-focused
Who Makes Cents really good long discussions on particular aspects of the history of capitalism

Might have mentioned already but anyway, Richard Herring's Leicester Square podcast. Most recent one with Janey Godley is great. I didn't know who she was. Will find her stuff. Quite a life, abuce, married to a gangster, near death experiences...

I love RHLSTP (RHLSTP)!! I thought it had finished. Definitely one of the best comedy podcasts I've listened to. If not THE best.
