I googled Woodstock, AL to see if I could find the maze!

Jonah Keri.

His most recent is an interview with Ryan Harris.

Buff, have you been listening to Crimetown?

I think I'm back on Chapter 12. While I really enjoy it, I find that the key players kind of run together for me. Without having a visual - they all just sound like east coast mob dudes. And I listen just infrequently enough that I kind of forget where I'm at in the story...

But it is very good. I am endlessly fascinated by any organized crime related movies/shows/etc.

I like the theme music.

Did you guys ever get the scoop on Dick Simmons?

Agreed on all accounts, although I just listened to Chapter 18, which is the end of season one. I hope there's a season two. It was pretty good and I didn't know anything about Providence's seedy nature.

What do you mean? Are you still insisting he's a reporter?

Not William Simmons. Dick Simmons.

It ended mostly without resolution. I think he just got tired of keeping up with the charade of the persona he'd established. Kind of unofficially retired from it all.

Oh, yeah, my bad. That pod was a giant let down.

A giant let down?

That is surprising.

The lack of resolution was disappointing - but it was a cultural phenomenon and I think there was strong entertainment value. Katie Couric had the dude who made it on her podcast a few weeks ago - that was a good listen too.

I remember when you guys used to be cool.

I find myself liking the Ezra Klein show more and more. He had on Anna Sale who hosts the "Death , Sex + Money" podcast. So that subsequently got me into her podcast, which is pretty good.

As an aside on that - she had Dominique Foxworth on her podcast twice, but I haven't gotten to those episodes yet. I suspect they're compelling given that the rest of her content seems to be pretty good.
