If you don’t want true crime, I highly recommend both Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert and Michaels Rosenbaum’s Inside of You. They both interview other famous people, and it’s always interesting. Inside of You’s episode with Beverly D’Angelo was really surprising because I only know of her as Ellen from the Vacation movies! Jennifer Love Hewitt was also a good episode, and made us break out our Heartbreakers DVD to watch that weekend. I will never call that a guilty pleasure movie because I have no guilt. It’s a hidden gem!

I’m commuting 2 hours every day, so I go through a lot of podcasts!

OOOhhh great recommendation! I’m basically a podcast newb {as my x-bow playing kiddos would say} so I haven’t heard this one but they’re on my list ;} Thank you!

OF COURSE we would be friends because you sound AMAZING. Never apologize for recommending all the things – I LOVE IT! ;}

No, girl, you are definitely not alone in this 🙂 I recently found your blog and this post made me feel like we would be good friends in real life. Nerd confession…in high school, I almost always stayed home on Friday nights so I could watch Dateline. That was like the perfect night for an introvert and true crime lover like me. Thanks for the book recommendation – I’ll look for that at the library!

Other podcasts in my “True Crime” playlist are: Beyond Reasonable Doubt (this is about the Michael Peterson case – if you saw that episode on Dateline back in the day, or more recently, watched The Staircase on Netflix), Crime in Sports (this one’s done by 2 guys and the stories are interesting but they do use a lot of language), Heaven’s Gate (haven’t listened yet but cults are also super interesting to me), Slow Burn (about Watergate), and Small Town Murder (done by the same guys as Crime in Sports so super interesting cases but lots of language). Undisclosed is one that started as an off shoot of Serial. It’s done by lawyers and is very interesting if you want to take deep dives into evidence and lawyer stuff. Up and Vanished was really big 2 years ago – in my opinion, it started really well but then he started to get famous and it turned into more about him than the case.

Ok sorry that was so long. Happy listening!!

HAHA! I’m so glad I’m not alone in the scary/mystery podcasts! LOVE recommendations. Thank you! If you have any more, let me know! ;} Oh, and I’m currently stuck on BA Paris – good writer in the books category.;}
