Yep. Decades. Multiple jurisdictions. Broken hearts. A tsunami of financially ruined victims. Sentencing in June (I believe).

Can I recommend;
Somehow Related - Glenn Robbins and Dave OāNeill.
Two strange things that are somehow related. E.g. Salvador Dali & Chupa chups.
Childproof - Tony Martin & Geraldine Quinn.
A mini series that didnātā get up reworked and turned into a podcast play.
Have almost finished āMurder Book S1: The Tell-Tale Bulletā and have throughly enjoyed it. Cheers for the reco. Rollin 60s gang member infiltrates the police and becomes a police sergeant - despite being the main suspect in an earlier carjacking and murder.
Just knocked off Neil Straussā podcast āTo Live and Die in LAā. Several whodunit twists that will keep you guessing till the end.
The Grade Cricketer Podcast is back.
Itās one I really enjoy and always get a laugh from.

I bought the book. Gave up after about 50 pages. It was so far from everything else they do that I couldnāt stand it.
Itād be like Titus OāReily writing a family drama/gender identity novel.
My avatar has a great podcast at the moment. Check out Conan OāBrien Needs a Friend. Not particularly funny but quite interesting
The first book by the Grade Cricketer was awesome - it nailed exactly what my 12 years of playing premier cricket was like.
Their second book wasnāt anywhere near as good.
Just listening to their latest podcast now.
Best I read like that was The Vincibles by Gideon Haigh about a season in the life of South Yarra CC who were in our comp at the time.
Two identical twins from SYCC wrote the MyCricket app in that year which seems to be everywhere now.
Yep that was a great read - I played against a few of the characters over the years.
MyCricket is a great resource. On a personal note my only wish is that it had my entire career record. The records for my best two seasons in the middle of my career are missing due to Cricket Victoria deciding to go it alone for a couple of years!
Anyone listen to The Final Word with Adam Collis and Geoff Lemon? Best cricket podcast out there imo.
Latest (& prolly last) episode of āWho the Hell is Hamish?ā is out. Sentencing. Wonāt spoil it.

The Richards Report (Teddy richards - investing)
listening to the first episode with Chris Judd (comes across as a nice guy).
have a few episodes with afl connected guys on there - Andrew Welsh, Andrew Pridham, Lindsay Tanner for example.
Bump.
Keen on some recommendations now that Iāve burned through nearly all available eps of my current favourites. #commuterlyf
Criteria:
- No ātrue crimeā bollocks
- Prefer funny over informative but not by much
- None where it starts out with a great premise but about a dozen episodes in the hosts have bought into their own hype and think that we want 70% of the show to be dumb hysterical rambling about their personal lives and not the original premise. Looking at you, All Fantasy Everything and The Worst Idea Of All Time.
- Not footy. Footyology has me sorted in that category.
The Dollop - A comedy/history podcast where a comedian, Dave, regales another comedian, Gary, in some of the more bizarre, misunderstood and often unbelievable episodes of American history, some of them are well-known and others which have been swept under the rug. It also has a significant Aussie following and so they have also covered some Australian stories during their tours Downunder.
Edit - They have about 350 episodes up so it should see you through for a while.

Yep, very familiar with them.
Anyone else reading, if you donāt listen to The Dollop, you should. Listen to The Rube (one of the early episodes) if you need convincing. If you need more, track down Ten Cent Beer Night, Reg Spiers, The Dolphin and Newport Sex Scandal.

I got a lot out of the History of Rome and Revolutions podcasts.
Espionage is interesting. Tells stories of spies, how they operated and how they were caught.
The bugle and no such thing as a fish are fun, but probably not to everyoneās liking.

Can I ask where people find the time to listen to Podcasts?
Iām guessing itās am / pm PT Commute? But outside of that?
For me when Iām driving to and from work.
Also like to put a podcast on if Iām cooking on a Sunday.
