Podcasts, Finally

It's been a long day and I don't have the November Twitter round-up post ready yet... so I'll just say, Hey, I've finally been listening to some podcasts, and I strongly recommend these two:

Serial, season 3. Instead of focusing on one twisty criminal case, this season the show spent a year looking at how the criminal justice system functions in one city... in this case, Cleveland. Excellent, in-depth journalism. Blood-boiling at times because so much is wrong, and nothing is done about it.

Bag Man. This is Rachel Maddow's in-depth look at the crimes that led Spiro Agnew to resign as vice president of the United States. (Taking bribes! In the White House!) Highly enlightening in the context of the current occupant, but also worth knowing just for the facts they uncovered that are either unknown or little-known. Including some bad news for fans of the now recently departed George H.W. Bush.
