I enjoyed AM due to the social history part more than WW being the child killer although I did fully buy into him being the killer because he referred to himself in the 3rd person but yes, there's massive gaps in the timeline.

I like the DC one but will give the Atlanta one a miss I think.

I'm listening to a 3 part podcast called Atlantic about a guy who was found dead in Sligo about 10 years ago, gave a false name at the hotel he stayed in, and the Gardai were never able to trace him. I'm half way through the second episode and its good, the narrator has a lovely voice too.

I listened to that one ages ago Sally, its really fascinating.

[sally maclennane]

I thought it had been mentioned in here, I think its really good.

[smalex]

It reminds me a bit of that Taman Shud thing, I find that so so absorbing

The Dream season two is really good (not sure if it's already been mentioned?). It's a follow on from the MLM's in the first season covering 'Wellbeing', it's really interesting. They rip Gwyneth a new one in one of the episodes (quite politely)

Hilary Mantel's "Beyond Black" is dramatised on BBC Sounds starring Alison Steadman. It's darkly brilliant, about a psychic.

Oh, they do not like Goop I love this series.

[smalex]

They really don't (and not without good reason, if you ask me!)

[baargain]

I agree! She is a snake oil salesman of the Internet age!

[smalex]

She really is.

Oh brilliant thank you! I really enjoyed The Dream.

I'm listening to Down The Hill: The Delphi murders, I'm 3 episodes into it (there's 6 currently available). It's a fascinating story, and the podcast is worth a listen (although I'm not entirely convinced it won't run out of steam).

Ooh thanks smal. I find that case fascinating.

"No body recovered" on BBC about a six year old that went missing in Donegal is a new one that is supposed to be good.

Oh thanks Jupes, I will try that. Lots of my family are in Donegal so I know it fairly well.

I have just about finished The Dream which I have enjoyed. There is also a new episode of The Lady Vanishes.

Does it actually tell you anything?

Does it actually tell you anything?

The LV one? I dont know, I haven't listened yet

Possibly not, they are prone to making whole episodes that have no new info!

[baargain]

I had to give up with that one. It made me want to die
