Is anyone listening to Monster - DC Sniper? NB It's an episode a week and not finished yet, so if you prefer to binge hold on for a bit. So, so interesting.

No- is it better than Atlanta Monster, though? I had to give up on that.
I'm dying to listen to something new.

I'll try that, Del, thanks. I have been listening to a BBC podcast Manhunt: Finding Kevin Parle which is quite interesting. It's the guy from the Channel 4 Hunted programme trying to track down a man who is wanted for a couple of murders in Liverpool.

I gave up on Atlanta Monster too! So far, this is much better, although it did take me til episode 3 to get properly hooked.

[smalex]

Ok good... I'll give it a go!

Despite Criminal being my all-time favourite podcast, I'm a bit fed up with real crime podcasts, but I absolutely *hate* any fiction in podcast form. At the mo, I'm just going back and re-listening to Phoebe Judge, because I apparently have the memory of a goldfish. Haven't found any super new titles in quite a while. Although Ear Hustle's coming back in March, I think. :toot:

I'm listening to it. I really like the format and loved the other ones they did Atlanta Monster and Up and Vanished.

I just listened to In The Dark about the Jacob Wetterling case (mainly about police failures in the case), it was difficult listening in places but well put together and interesting.

I really liked (well, not "liked" given the subject matter but y'know) that, I thought it was very well done.

I am almost caught up with the Monster DC Sniper podcast, I am enjoying it but there are quite a few adverts in it which are annoying.

[smalex]

It was. Have you listened to the other one about Curtis Flowers?

I'm enjoying DC Sniper.

[Edith Bacon]

All the In The Dark ones have been really well done. The Curtis Flowers one is beyond belief!

[sally maclennane]

Yes,although for some reason I couldn't get into that one so gave up towards the end.

[Duophonic]

I'm listening to a new one but there's only two episodes so far so you might want to wait if you tend to binge.

The Nobody Zone - A homeless man confesses to murder in 1983 and it turns out that he's killed multiple times and gotten away with it. The podcast is investigating how and why it happened.

[Jupiter]

Is it good, Duo? I wanted to listen to it but wasn't sure if I would get on with it or not.

[Duophonic]

I'm enjoying it, it's well laid out, coherent and the narration isn't annoying.

[Jupiter]

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

I really dislike Payne Lindsey but I don't know why. I had to stop listening to the second series of Up and Vanished because I just wanted him to get on with it. Atlanta Monster is an interesting story but I don't think he deals with it that well - there's a lot of time lurking under that bridge and then not nearly enough time talking about his dad etc.

[Ruby]

Oh wait! DC Sniper isn't Payne Lindsey so I might give it a go. Is there a lot of feet crunching over gravel/boring phone conversations etc?

[smalex]

I think hes involved, but it's miles better than Atlanta monster. AM made me want to lose my shit, it really made me a lot more discerning about podcasts in general because I was so hacked off with it.

[Ruby]

The first few episodes of Atlanta Monster were good and then they just kept circling back to the same things and skipping over other things that sounded important. Up & Vanished is the same. They both mention a piece of evidence, as if they will be coming back to it at some point, and then never mention it again.
