    DON’T go on a North Korean booze cruise – Lazarus Heist review

    This week we’re talking about HACKERS and CYBER CRIME. The Lazarus Heist podcast tells the story of the Lazarus group, an illicit ring of hackers that investigators say are linked to North Korea. The group attempted to steal over a billion US dollars and are said to be behind the 2014 Sony hack. So this week we discuss our encounters with North Korea and the problematic, dehumanizing way North Koreans tend to be depicted. Does this podcast do anything to dismantle these tropes? And what are North Korean booze cruises and why are they so deeply unethical? Lazarus Heist is a podcast produced by the BBC World Service with North Korea expert and former correspondent Jean Lee, and Geoff White, an investigative journalist and technology specialist.

    Stop hating on lychees! – Off Menu Podcast review

    This week's episode is about SHEER feel-good listening: it's the Off Menu Podcast! Every week, British comedians James Acaster and Ed Gamble sit down with a celebrity (broadcasters, comedians, chefs) and ask them their favorite ever starter, main course, desert, side dish, and drink (but not in that order!) Whenever we need a comfort podcast, this is our go-to! Long-time listeners quickly feel like they're part of the gang, keeping up with the inside jokes, learning more and more about the lives of the hosts. Because that's why a lot of people love listening to podcasts right? To feel like you're a part of the crew, to get a new group of friends that don't even know you exist. Or is that just us? Para-social relationships are a big thing for podcast listeners. In this episode we deep-dive into the weird relationship podcast listeners have with podcast host. We also try to analyze what makes this podcast so lovable – and why Brits love chips and hate lychees. This podcast is produced by Plosive and the great Benit....erm...Ben Williams.

    When beauty journalism gets ugly – The Baron of Botox review

    Just a heads up: in this episode we discuss the way The Baron of Botox depicts suicide. The beauty industry is pretty messed up. It’s an industry that feeds off of our insecurities and bombards us with air-brushed beauty standards. Luckily, lots of recent reporting has tried to expose this... ...but not all reporting. Which takes us to this week’s podcast. A podcast about the beauty industry which we felt...might have missed the mark. The Baron of Botox is about one of Hollywood’s most famous botox pioneers, Dr. Fredric Brandt, whose clients included Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow among others. He was a much-loved, caring, yet very troubled person. This podcast attempts to look into the dark side of the beauty industry and to figure out what makes the industry’s leading figures tick. So what does it get wrong? Have a listen to see what we thought! This podcast is produced by Imperative Entertainment. It is reported by Justine Harman.

    How fiction can revolutionize podcasts – Within the Wires review

    Is there a way to transform the way we listen to podcasts? What would change podcasting forever? In this episode, we take a tip from Saga’s sister Rima and relax to the sound of our first ever fiction pod that is revolutionizing our listening experience. We talk about what it means when podcasts break down our perceptions of an audio-drama, discuss why nonfiction pods rely on end-of-episode hooks, Saga imitates a door and Anya urges all to ‘supete us.’ As you can probably tell, things get a little funky as we chat about this groovy pod that had us hooked – Within the Wires. Listen to our review of a first podcast that received the coveted FIVE booms. This podcast is produced by Night Vale Presents, it is written by Jeffrey Cranor and Janina Matthewson.  Janina Matthewson also presents the podcast.

    A podcast so scary we forgot our own names – Dirty John review

    Just a heads up: we discuss domestic abuse in this episode. If you don’t want to hear that, maybe skip this one. Stay tuned for happier episodes (they’re coming, we promise!). Dirty John was released right around the time everyone was going CRAZY for true crime podcasts. And it makes sense. This podcast tells the hair-raising story of a dangerous con man, who nestles his way into a family and eventually splits it apart. It touches on that weirdly twisted part of ourselves that wants to understand what makes psychopaths tick. So is this just a classic true crime podcast? Or does it do something different with the genre? We discuss what makes the podcast so popular, and whether it falls prey to some of our least favorite true-crime tropes. This podcast is produced by the LA Times and Wondery, it's hosted and reported by Christopher Goffard, a crime reporter for the LA Times.
