Wow, this should be linked in the sidebar!

And, if possible, pinned at the top, for those like me who only use the Reddit app.

u/SunValleySun avatar

Thanks, I mainly use the Reddit app so this would be useful for people to find.

Oh, and thanks so much for putting this together! I’ll admit that the repetitive requests for recommendations get on my nerves, so I’ll definitely bookmark this list!

This. Is. EVERYTHING. In case you ever wondered, yes data entry jobs are horrendously boring.

u/SunValleySun avatar

Thanks for the CAPS :). I have a love/hate relationship with data entry... I work for the Govenrment!

Haha well maybe the info is more interesting than the info I work with then! Being that it’s the government

I have listened and love a considerable amount of these podcasts but there is still a ton I haven’t even heard of and I am currently at work starting season one of someone knows something! So thanks again!!

u/SunValleySun avatar

Phoebe Handsjuk is my cousin. Phoebe's fall is a horrible podcast completely changing details and leaving some out. She isn't well known so I can't give you one to listen to but I could answer some questions if you have any.

u/SunValleySun avatar

I'm sorry to hear that the podcast isn't reflective of her story. I feel like I listen to most podcasts with the view that the story might be bias, or might not cover off all sides. It's a shame that this has happened to your family.

What an incredible list. You put so much work into it. Great work!

The list keeps getting better. I will be linking to this in r/podcasts FAQ/wiki. Thanks.

Thought of another one to add.

The City Season 1. The story of Mount Henry. How an entire city block was illegally turned into a six story tall pile of rubble in Chicago's North Lawndale neighborhood, and right next to a school. This is about Chicago, racism, and a corrupt aldermen that allowed this to happen.

u/SunValleySun avatar

Shucks! Thank you!! I have even more to add next time I get to my computer - so I will add this one as well!

More replies

Great list! I will add so many of these!

I’d also HIGHLY recommend Dateline’s The Thing about Pam....crazy story that I was hooked on.

I can't praise You Must Remember This enough. Definitely listen to the Manson series. Her current series is on Disney/Song of the South

u/SunValleySun avatar

These two are on my list to continue listening to. Thanks :)

u/ceh789 avatar

This is amazing thank you SO much! One thought to improve on it - it would be pretty amazing to think of some common "tags" to help people find the type of pod they like or want to avoid. The two that come to mind for me personally are gory/graphic and child victims since those are things I avoid.

u/SunValleySun avatar

I definitely thought about this, i.e categories with Medical/Serial Killers etc. I am happy to add these in at some point if people find it useful.

Thanks!
