COMEDY
From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived – and ask whether they have the rep they deserve. Should Nina Simone’s role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it is? When you find out what Picasso got up to in his studio, can you still admire his art? Was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant - or both? (And, while we’re at it, was he even short?) Legacy is the show that looks at big lives from the perspective of now – and doesn’t always like what it sees. Listen to Legacy on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge episodes early and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

TRUE CRIME
Halfway between South America and New Zealand is a small piece of volcanic, British territory; Pitcairn. It has one shop open for a few hours a day, it’s accessible only by boat, it was born out of Naval mutiny in the 18th Century, it’s home to 37 British subjects...and an almighty scandal. If you're interested in sponsorship and advertising in The Pitcairn Trials, then we'd love to hear from you. Just email sales@audioalways.com and we'll tell you more! Hosted on Acast.

TRUE CRIME
These are stories you were never meant to hear. The invisible but vital work of the world’s intelligence services: secret operatives playing to very different rules. The Spy Who, hosted by Indira Varma and Raza Jaffrey, takes you deep inside that shadow world to meet spies who risked everything in the national interest – or, sometimes, their own.

The podcast is advertised as a dive into the impact of vaping on teenagers, but fails to intrigue. The serious issue is handled well, and the production is high-quality, but the actual content is mostly unimpressive. The company and advertising, the social impact, and the story of the founders, all lack punch. While Juul was clearly promoted dangerously, this story could easily have been told in 4 episodes, rather than 6. Journalism takes a backseat to storytelling, which is fine, but cuts against the image the podcast portrays. Overall, this podcast is mostly quite boring. A story with no real interest is told well, but falls flat. The nail in the coffin is using a clip as part of the intro, ‘they probably did this on purpose’, and seemingly not using it in the actual podcast.
Scrubbed from the store??
