Shoutout to my buddy Liam for showing me this podcast. Great docupodcast about various maritime criminal enterprises. It is really compelling but can get dark.

š§Very cool way Jack Rhysider set this up, i particulary like the episodes about security audits (hired to physically break in or hack into a company building/network to test it). Also the ones about gaming are super cool, online scams, crypto, silk road.. heās got a ton of topics, pretty long ad reads but nothing unbearable!

the only podcast i have steadily listened to. give it a go if youāre a fan of the outdoors, the macabre, and girls who giggle. they are so knowledgeable and their stories pair so nicely with roadtrip snacks.

šdeep dives on schemes, scams, or corporate / political scandals are very interesting and generally not insensitive about violence in the way the ātrue crimeā genre can be, i donāt really like the ātrue crimeā genre bc of that so here are some outside that main realm, either recād to me (irl) or that i have listened to that are really interesting:
- the dropout: follows the rise and fall of everyoneās favorite girlboss and founder of theranos, elizabeth holmes and how she got a bunch of funding to start a healthcare company based on fake science! and also how she got found out. (if you enjoy it, thereās also bad blood: the final chapter)
- hooked: tells the story of a famous bank robber and also the US opioid epidemic (together)
- queen of the con: really wild, this woman literally conned a bunch of professional athletes out of their money just by lying all the time
- youāre wrong about: they have episodes on all topics (like urban legends, movies, politics etc) but some are on famous ācrimeā stories and debunking common myths, like flight 571, tonya harding, etc. imo it is not sensationalized the way some of the āmurder podcastsā are but possibly bc itās not a true crime podcast
- mother country radicals: set mostly in the 1970s, it talks about this guyās experience growing up with the Weather Underground, and their many militant radical actions (like, they literally bomb the government, rob banks to fund their organizing, prison breaks etc)
- the dream (season one): basically talks about a ton of MLMs with crazy examples and some of the more well-known ones!

My friend Liam got sent these by accident when he ordered vans and gave them to me since they sent him size 13. These shoes are goofy and I don't know who would buy them but I wear them all the time because I think they're really fun and have a lot of character.
