My current favorites include Naked Lunch with Phil Rosenthal and David Wilde, which is something of an expansion of "Somebody Feed Phil" on Netflix. I also like This American Life, The Way I Heard It with Mike Rowe, Alan Alda's Clear & Vivid, and Stuff You Missed in History Class.
One of my all-time favorites was a limited series called The India Hicks Podcast. India Hicks is the granddaughter of Lord Mountbatten (Prince Philip's uncle and the last Viceroy of India), and she interviews her "veddy, veddy" English mother, Lady Pamela Hicks about her incredible life. It's fascinating as well as hilarious, because at 90-something years old, Lady Pamela has lost any filters she might have had, so she really tells it like it was.
My podcast tastes tend to run a bit younger than my chronological age (so I can stay relevant with my kids), so I also listen to a few comedy podcasts including Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend and The Office Ladies.
Women in Crime
The Office Ladies
Mobituaries
Things Unseen with Sinclair Ferguson
Knowing Faith
Confronting Christianity
Serial, (especially Season One)
Your Own Backyard
Mobituaries isn’t dark. It’s kind of quirky.
Here’s the blurb:
CBS News correspondent Mo Rocca has always loved obituaries. Each episode of Mobituaries covers his favorite dearly departed people and things, from the ‘Latin Lover’ who redefined Hollywood masculinity in the 1920s to the TV dog who introduced kids to literature in the 1990s. Every Wednesday, hear fresh takes on famous legacies and uncover people worthy of their overdue moment in the spotlight. Even if you know the names, you’ve never understood why they matter until now!
Happy Listening!

Just tried adding "Terrible, Thanks for Asking".
Recent widower after 56 Years.
SomeGuyinCa, I love Crime Town! And thanks for History of Rome.
I'm embarrassed to say I never have listened to that one yet. I need to add it to my list.
Someone recently told me that Duncan also did a series about the women of Rome. I just look at that. To me, Rome is THE eternal city. There is nowhere like it and its surrounds of all the places I have visited in my life. It is something you FEEL more than you know, when you are there. I was just reading another Frances Mayes book, this one about her homes and the homes of others, and what make a building, a place, your HOME. It's her latest book and I think I have not read her for years, but a lovely book, and what she says about Rome is so resonant for me.
Since you are a true crime fan, you must listen to Gone South season 1. It’s fascinating! It takes place in the metro New Orleans area. I know the area well.
I will tell you that it is about a prominent attorney, Margaret Coon who was murdered early in the morning while walking her dog in a wealthy, gated community on the north shore. It’s very well done and extremely interesting.
The case is still unsolved.
Anyone into "catfishing" stories should access the podcast "Sweet Bobby". About 6 0r 8 episode of one very sophisticated scheme.
I love so many podcasts that it would be impossible for me to list them all.
Alva, what are you listening to right now?
I think it's about time I switched from humans to foliage.
I think I heard something similar on anNPR radio program. It was fascinating. I listen to anything that is related to biology or science.
Who is the British actress that absolutely loves trees?
She did an excellent documentary on trees and what they mean to her. Oh, Judy Dench.
It’s about things that go on behind the scenes in a funeral home. Quite interesting! Two funeral directors, Brian Waters and Ryan Ballard host the show.
Indoctrination is also very good. It’s hosted by Rachel Bernstein, LMFT and cult expert.
I actually have very eclectic taste with podcasts. I listen to whatever I am in the mood for.
Esther Perel couples counseling on "Where Should We Begin".
Scamfluencers.
Handel on the Law
Dr Laura's Question of the Day
and a bunch more!!!
It's all about women who are groomed by their newfound "boyfriends" and manipulated. The first story, 9 episodes in all, is a mind blower. Young women are so vulnerable; I cannot help but think our elder women, often newly widowed, can also so easily be preyed upon.
If you love podcasts pleas give Something Was Wrong a listen.
RETRIEVALS.
This is an Apple podcast but you can find it on google podcasts or pretty much wherever you get you podcasts, I think.
It's about a group of women currently in litigation with Yale University Hospitals fertility clinics.
They all were in IVF fertility treatment. Had gone through all the process and ready for harvest of the eggs. Which is done by the way with a quite impressive needle stuck into the vagina and through the wall into the ovaries to gather the eggs. Quite a painful procedure for which they give Fentanyl and another drug.
But whoops, a nurse, addict, had beat them to the (100s) of fentanyl vials. And the women were screaming in agony.
And IGNORED. Basically accused of being crazy, of being babies.
One woman was a doctor herself. She said, when they injected the fentanyl IV "You just gave me saline". They gave her another. She said "You gave me SALINE. I can TASTE IT IN MY MOUTH". And they basically said "We gave you all we can. You want the eggs or not!". And she ended up in her own ER in such pain that they didn't recognize who she was and she couldn't speak, could only moan until she passed out.
This is a story of everything that could fall through the cracks falling, with an end result of women mocked for their agony. Made by the folks who made SERIAL, this isn't to be missed. I absolutely listened with my jaw hitting the floor.
Gals, if you are in the medical system anywhere, you better learn to speak up for yourself loud and clear. You better learn to, or else.....................
You KNOW I am a retired RN. You know how I defend and fight for our western medical system. But I gotta say, you better be ready to stand advocate for yourself and others. This is a pretty scary listen.
I went through three IVF procedures. Sadly, none took.
Everything worked out in the end. We adopted our beautiful daughter and then 7 years later, without any help from fertility doctors we had a biological child.
One interesting thing that happened to me was, I was instructed to lie perfectly still after my IVF procedure for 20 minutes.
The nurse was rolling me into the recovery area and the back of the gurney dropped fast and hard. The nurse was mortified. It was an accident. I wasn’t upset with her but all I could think of is, oh crap! $10,000 down the drain and another failed in vitro fertilization attempt.
Back then, insurance didn’t pay for any of the costs. I think they were hoping for coverage later on. After years of torture, we stopped seeing the fertility specialist.
Did you see the documentary where the fertility doctor was using his own sperm on his patients? Horrible situation for those women.
Honestly, you should start your own podcast. I know that it wouldn’t be boring and you have loads of wisdom to share with others.
I listen to several podcasts. I love Rachel Bernstein (LMFT, MSEd.) She has a great podcast talking about indoctrination. The name of it is, IndoctriNation. I listen to it on Apple.
She interviews people who have been indoctrinated in one way or another. Human behavior is fascinating.
