I like Serial (and S-Town), but I always found they petered out toward the end.

That's the nature of reality, I suppose. With the first season in particular, there was no chance of a shocking climax as you know from the start that Adnan was in prison for murder.

At least with Making a Murderer, there were a few shocking moments along the way. Serial has always felt like a fascinating journey, rather than a destination.

The new series is supposedly different as they've been resident in a courthouse for a few months and following lots of different, everyday cases. Should be interesting.

Dirty John had a cracker of an ending, though.

That's what made it better than Serial and S-town, in my head.

Doctor Death is grim* listening so far. The adverts in it are just hilarious though.

What is it about podcasts that the only things they ever seem to advertise are recruitment agencies and mattresses?

Except Squarespace

And HelloFresh

SquareSpace and Hello Fresh are all over YouTube as well in terms of sponsored content; they must have massive advertising budgets. Or these kind of adverts are really cheap...

Totally forgot to post about this. The always brilliant Julia Davis and someone called Vicki Pepperdine do a podcast called "Dear Joan and Jericha" which sees them as a pair of agony aunts talking through problems allegedly sent in by listeners. Pretty much the entire thing seems to be ad-libbed and it's weird, twisted and very funny throughout.

The animated 'Rex Factor' on Richard III is rather charming. Only 17 minutes so they've cut a lot of the story out, but an enjoyable take on the podcast of kings.

Just listened to the first part of Empire-ical Evidence on Radio 4. Andy Zaltzman and Anuvab Pal wander around London discussing how we remember the Empire today. Part Two takes the view from India.

Clive Anderson talks a range of interesting Law stuff. Might be worth a listen?

Listened to the recent Richard Herring podcast with Ross Noble earlier. It was all decent but his stories from working with Mel Brooks were ace.

This season of Porno is utter gold.

This season is very good. I’m annoyed I’m always too lazy to bother getting tickets.
