Like Serial but actually culturally relevant

While Serial launched the true crime/investigatory podcast format, it was at its heart a podcast about children, which is embarrassing. Blackout Dates stands on and strengthens Sarah Koenig’s shoulders to bring us a story that actually MATTERS. Something we can all relate to, something we can all get invested in. I find myself “reverse Garfielding” (i.e counting down the days until Monday) so I can listen to the next episode. Humor, intrigue, suspense: this show has it all.

My wife left me for this podcast

And I don’t blame her

Listen to this pod immediately!!

Do you harken back to the days of going to the movies basically for free? So do Zac and Spencer (hosts of this pod)!! So glad people are finally talking about the wild ride that was moviepass. Can’t wait to hear more!
