Binge worthy story telling podcasts?

[WoodBow]

I need to add stuff to my queue to listen to driving solo to Colorado next month. I did a search to find previously listed podcasts but everything i was finding was the typical conversation/interview style podcasts. I am looking for more recommendations for story telling podcasts, particularly the type that cover a story over an entire season or more. I will list some I have listened to in the past that I would recommend. I do intend to buy the new meateater close calls series. I enjoyed the last one.

S Town
Up and Vanished
Atlanta Monster
Dr. Death season 1 and 3. Not so much season 2.
Dirty John
Radio Rental (a collection of supposedly true stories of creepy experiences people had)
The Man in the Window (golden state killer)
To Live and Die in LA
The Dropout
Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and football inc.

Man when I list all those out I really start to feel like a basic house wife.

No experience with any of those, though I did hear the story at the end of a meateater podcast about the spear fishing incident, incredible!

The Rise & Fall of Mars Hill

Whether you are religious or not, this was about 15 hours of a story that played out over approx 12 years (based on what I could tell).

Hard Core History. Multiple hours long each podcast

What about a book on tape? Anything by CJ box is a winner.

A friend and I listened to the Criminal podcast on a road trip last year. The particular series was called 48 Hours, I think it was an episode in the high 160’s. It was interesting and kept my attention.

History of Rome is decent. Guy makes some mistakes but cleans them up and does a good job with pace.

The Band of Brothers podcast is also interesting and will carry you through a long drive. I’ve watched Band of Brothers 10+ times and the podcast fills all facets from who the men of Easy Company were to interesting production stories and the actors (most are Brits) who brought the story to the screen. It’s hard to believe the series is 21 years old.

True Crime Bullsh**. Insane to think there are predators like this out there.

History that doesn’t suck
infamous America
wild west extravaganza

Wesley by Tom Ranaldi. It’s the story of the only MLB player ever murdered in a season. Very well done podcast.

Hardcore History is my #1. I've never been bored listening to it.

Mike Roe does a good podcast "The way I heard it" Each episode is a different story, but they're all interesting and he has a unique way of story-telling.

“Legends of the Old West” is excellent.

The Dallop is a pretty entertaining history podcast. They have a mixture of multiple parts or single episodes for famous people in history. The Colonel Sanders story is pretty crazy and funny to listen too.

If you haven't read Jack Carrs books I would download the audio version of all of them and listen to them in order.

If you like combat stuff, Jocko Podcast 180,181, and 182 with John Stryker Myer talking about SOG in Vietnam is some edge of your seat, action movie, most unbelievable combat that has ever happened. It's about 9 hours of content.

I plan on listening to Meateater camp fire stories on my trip last month. I heard a snippet of one and it was very interesting.

The martyr made episodes about the history of Israel is really good, it nothing I ever though I’d be interested in before listening to it. It’s several long episodes so it will get you a lot of miles down the road. I believe it’s called “fear and loathing in the new jurisulum”

Astonishing legends. My favorites are the series about KGC Gold, sheriff/outlaw Henry Plummer, the Sallie house series is pretty good as well. Oh and of course the bigfoot series is pretty good.

Another vote for Criminal podcast. They have a lot of great episodes.

If you want something more on tech side of things, Darknet Diaries is really good to. While Darknet Diaries has an interview component, the majority of episodes are focused around a specific event or job.

In the Red Clay. Thank me later.
