This was just awesome. From the "man in California" being able to remember a complete song from 20 years ago to the band who was able to *almost* recreate it, and then finding out the guy who wrote it was from my hometown! 11/10 will listen again.

A completely gripping rabbit hole - stopped everything to listen. Just listen now!

An intriguing first episode of this series that investigates the claim that the CIA wrote a hit song that was instrumental in the fall of the Berlin Wall.

This is so good! If you are a parent it’s great insight on things to consider when interacting with and relating to your kids. If you are an adult interested in gaining understanding of what pain and trauma are, and understanding some of your own feelings and reactions to your experiences, it’s supe...Show More

What!?!??!?!? If you’re a long time reply all listener you HAVE to hear this. Remember Alex Martin, the phone scammer in India? That was a crazy story. Well, it’s not over.

I read a lot about online privacy everyday, but this episode was very interesting and important. The part about them running the journalist’s photo in their system was so creepy. Well worth a listen.

I haven’t heard a finer example of storytelling and the insights are deep. This will stay with me. Cannot recommend enough. ‬

Girl In Space is *the* podcast that got me into podcast audio dramas, and It. Is. Excellent. All of the usual issues you expect with early episodes is non existent, and in my opinion Girl in Space starts off with strong audio and storytelling straight off the bat and continues to hold your attention...Show More

Fascinating story of the lengths people will go to for what they believe in.

I highly recommend this episode because this issue of South Asia is highly prevalent and one of the biggest atrocities ever seen in the history of mankind. It needs to be actively called out like racism.

First, individual bodies of murdered women were found. Then they started finding mass graves. Technically true crime, but with larger implications. How big of a difference can a national border make when it seperates women living in neighboring cities?

A beautiful episode that reflects how deeply we are interconnected as humans even when we don’t know each other. The words, the emotions, the reflection - it will move you like nothing else would.

phocks recommended:Jul 13th, 2020

I'm really loving these stories where they follow a lead and just keep at it until they get to its logical conclusion. Usually there is a human and emotional element to where they end up. It's unexpected and there's magic in there. This was a pretty great listen.

oh boy, what a juicy episode. PJ gets to bottom of WHO QAnon really is and shares a whole lot of well-reported context to all the madness

Terrific episode about the origins of "Becky" (aka "pre-Karen") and "Karen". Pretty amazing how Reddit has so much influence in culture nowadays.

oiamandina recommended:Aug 22nd, 2020

A fascinating and timely collection of stories that will put you face to face with 3 big questions. How do humans respond to inequality? What is fairness? And perhaps the most intriguing question, How do you win?

gitawidyasari recommended:May 7th, 2020

Such a great podcast. Giving me new perspective of how to accept criticism and turn it well to your motivation and gain energy from it. Pain + Reflection = Progress

My dad spent his career as a car salesman and this is 100% what it was like!

Super interesting episode and I’m glad it was suggested to me. As a historian who works with an archaeology team, this really hit me. We’re always concerned about losing history to weather, war, and other disasters, so it’s wonderful to know that there are people who have successfully protected thei...Show More

As someone who actually has this, I was fascinated to hear this backstory! My sister and I got the allergy around the same time (maybe even on the same day) during a visit to Missouri as children. Like Amy, no one believed us for *years* until the story made the news. It was so cool to hear the back...Show More

Such a beautiful story about the dynamics of two Yellowstone wolf packs and the relationships created between the most unlikely of wolves.

“We’ve never even been for dinner together.” Two people who got locked down together after a first date and then weathered the coronovirus together.

danny recommended:Jul 24th, 2020

Some cool stories on ethical hacking.

jennx recommended:Jul 31st, 2020

This was such a fascinating episode 🤯 I wonder if these uncanny experiences are just a coincidence or if there’s something more behind the app. Makes me want to download it to test it out.

What would you do after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer? Go have as much sex as you can? This came highly recommend to me. Great story to escape in these uncertain times. I can't believe this is a true story!!!
