true corporate crime

deep dives on schemes, scams, or corporate / political scandals are very interesting and generally not insensitive about violence in the way the “true crime” genre can be, i don’t really like the “true crime” genre bc of that so here are some outside that main realm, either rec’d to me (irl) or that i have listened to that are really interesting: - the dropout: follows the rise and fall of everyone’s 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, there’s 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 - you’re wrong about: they have episodes on all topics (like urban legends, movies, politics etc) but some are on famous ”crime” stories and debunking common myths, like flight 571, tonya harding, etc. imo it is not sensationalized the way some of the “murder podcasts” are but possibly bc it’s not a true crime podcast - mother country radicals: set mostly in the 1970s, it talks about this guy’s 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!

Dan carlin’s hardcore history

If you’re interested in history, that is. Dissect- dissects albums, so fascinating. Both Kendrick seasons and Tyler the creator‘s are my favorite Lizard people- funny pod about people’s conspiracy theories Disgraceland- dramatic retellings of musicians’ mischief
