Don't bother with it, Smal, it doesn't tell you anything new.
I have listened to 5 episodes of No Body Recovered as recommended by Jupiter and am fascinated by it. It is partly because I know the area well, it's close to where my family live in Ireland. In fact, I was telling my mum about it (and trying to explain what a podcast is!) and she says she has a photo of my brother as a baby, taken on a beach in Donegal and in the background I'm playing with 2 little girls, the missing girl and her twin sister! They were a year older than me, and this was 1976 so the year before she went missing.

Wow! Really. God that's strange. I've listened to 3 of them and I'm hooked.
Thanks for heads up on LV. I suspected it might be that way

My dad would mention it whenever there was anything about Robert Black on TV ( I can't remember which episode they discuss him) and he would talk about the photo too. For some reason, I thought the wee girl was from Northern Ireland and was visiting her grandparents in Donegal when she went missing but turns out she was actually from a little town about 10 miles from where my parents had their holiday home, and the beach in the photo is halfway between the towns.

It really is. They're on the Robert Black stuff in the episode I'm listening to.

Its such a sad story and it's a shame the way things have ended up between her twin and her mum.

I'm finally doing WC because I needed Audible for W to read along a book they're doing for school. It'sreally interesting so far!sally maclennane wrote: ↑Tue Jun 18, 2019 4:21 pmOh sorry, l thought you meant WC! I think it was worth it, I've yet to go through the process of unsubscribing though
Are there any other similar podcasts on Audible does anyone know/could recc?

Re: Podcasts & Blogs I like
I think I told you at the time that it completely changed my ex's mind about the case, and he'd pretty much grown up with it.
Its not my usual fare at all, but I'm missing travel so I've really got into "Far from Home" this weekend, about an American radio journalist and his brother undertaking the London to Mongolia rally in a Nissan Micra. Logistics, human interest, far-flung countries (I've fallen down a Google rabbit hole about Turkmenistan), car drama - it has it all!
Oh, also probably years after everyone else, Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist Histories which are quite brilliant. "Each week, we go back and revisit something from the past: an event, a person, an idea. Something overlooked. Something misunderstood".

I love the Malcolm Gladwell podcast.
I listened to a really short (overall less than 50mins) BBC podcast the other day which was good. 2 school girls abduct a toddler in a North East branch of Primark. The High Street Abduction

Re: Podcasts & Blogs I like
I am on Watling Street which is an interesting history podcast. Where does one find Atlantic please? I can't find it on BBC sounds nor Podbean.
I'm yet to find a podcast player I actually like.
When coronavirus first started, The Week did some podcast recommendations and I have lost the list I wrote. It included:
- GABA (which might be a bit too woooooo for me)
- Field Recordings (sounds of nature)
- There was also a random one where celebrities talk over music or nature sounds. Does anyone have any idea what I'm on about?

I’ve just listened to the new BBC Louis Theroux podcast; in the first one he talks to Jon Ronson. I really enjoyed it, you probably need to be a fan of LT and JR already as they chat about their work a lot.

Re: Podcasts & Blogs I like
I got a new phone yesterday and most of my apps and associated info transferred over but mt podcasts didn't so I had to go back through to find them and subscribe again
So while I was doing that, I came across this one "What happened to Annie?" It's about a Swedish girl who was found dead on a beach in Scotland. The police claim it was suicide but her family dispute this. I've only listened to one episode but it seems quite interesting so far.
