News True Crime

The unbelievably binge-worthy first season of this show is what started the podcast obsession for many of us. If you somehow missed it, now's the time to dive in!

True Crime Society

This audio and journalistic narrative masterwork is beautifully crafted from start to finish, but becomes especially poignant in the final minutes of the final episode.
Mogul
14
3 11 20
Mogul is a show about hip hop’s most iconic moments, told by the people who lived them. In Season 3, we’re telling the story of DJ Screw, a reclusive genius who changed the sound of music forever. An auteur who created his own genre — Chopped a
gimlet media Arts
milieumediagroup
If you're even remotely interested in old school hip hop, the first season of this show is for you. An incredibly well-executed exploration of the life (and mysterious death) of unlikely industry mogul Chris Lighty.
Heavyweight
97
23 68 298
Maybe you’ve laid awake imagining how it could have been, how it might yet be, but the moment to act was never right. Well, the moment is here and the podcast making it happen is Heavyweight. Join Jonathan Goldstein for road trips, thorny reuni
Storytelling Comedy
milieumediagroup
Easily my favorite podcast of all time, Heavyweight host Jonathan Goldstein is a true master storyteller...and master meddler. He involves himself, endearingly, in tying up the loose ends of other people's lives, and he does so with a perfect balance of gentle compassion, genuine care, and smirky wit.
Moda Spira Podcast
Moda Spira is a musical project by artist and producer Latifah Alattas. Moda Spira Podcast is a companion podcast to the work that she does under that moniker. The first season of the show chronicles the painful end of her marriage in the form
milieumediagroup
Did I produce this show? Yes. But does that make it any less worthy of your Covid-19 attention? Nope. Latifah Alattas is a brilliant artist and producer, and her sophomore album under the moniker Moda Spira is a heart-rending musical exploration of the painful and unexpected loss of her marriage. Moda Spira Podcast is a track by track companion to that album, a bold, vulnerable and intimate invitation into her processes of both healing and creating in the wake of tremendous loss.
Mega
An improvised satire from the staff of a fictional mega church.
milieumediagroup
If you've ever been to, worked in, or simply marveled at the world of evangelical Christian megachurchdom, then you'll appreciate this hysterically produced, and shockingly accurate satirical peek behind the curtain. Start at the beginning. It's so worth your time.
Headlong: Missing Richard Simmons
On February 15, 2014, fitness guru Richard Simmons disappeared. He stopped teaching his regular exercise class at Slimmons, cut off his closest friends, and removed himself from the public eye after decades as one of the most accessible celebri
milieumediagroup
This show was surprisingly addictive. I'd never given much thought to Richard Simmons one way or another, and I'd certainly never considered his humanity beyond the spectacle of his signature afro, short shorts, and charismatic enthusiasm for the intersection of oldies rock n roll and obesity. But this show made me desperate to know, in fact, where did Richard Simmons go?
HORSE
The NBA is now a 365-day league and it's never been more present in pop culture. On HORSE, we don’t analyze wins and losses. We talk beefs, dig into Internet drama, and have fun. New episodes every other Monday.
milieumediagroup
If you (like me) find yourself missing the NBA or WNBA during this pandemic sports drought, HORSE may be just the cure. Hosts Eric Silver and Mike Schubert don't waste their time talking about game stats anyway, so Coronavirus be damned. Check this show out for a bi-weekly (very funny) look at all the nitty gritty behind the scenes drama of professional basketball.
Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel
Listen to the incomparable therapist Esther Perel counsel real couples as they reveal the most intimate, personal, and complicated details of the conflicts that have brought them to her door. This season Esther speaks to a constellation of new
milieumediagroup
A vulnerable, and rarely shared look into the most intimate spaces of humanity. Esther Perel is brilliant and compassionate and wise, and no matter how unrelatable I assume the couple featured in any given episode will be, I always find myself resonating deeply with some part of their story. Every. Single. Time. This show is perfectly produced.
