2024’s Most Bingeworthy Podcasts (So Far)

It’s been a minute since I’ve written a recap because there hasn’t been a series that has really rocked my world—until now.

I haven’t been this excited about a podcast since I listened to the amazing Bone Valley (which is getting a season 2 by the way!) Also featured here, another installment of the classic true-crime series Up And Vanished and looks at our culture wars, the dark web, local and national politics and a revisit of a Spring Break Festival that’s getting renewed attention.
