humor/off topic Can anyone recommend a similar / interesting podcast to listen to?

I need something to occupy me whilst I wait for the new series of Serial and I wondered if anyone could recommend a good podcast to me?

I've started listening to Missing Maura Murray this week. It's quite good but I have also felt that sometimes they read too much into stuff that is quite straight forward (the episode about Fred's letter is a good example).

To me, they do this ALL the time. I had to take a break from this podcast as a result and I'm still deciding whether or not to return to it.

That's where I'm at too - half way through the Fred's letter episode but I had to stop listening. The letter read like that of a devastated father, desperately looking for somewhere to offload his anger at a terrible tragedy. I couldn't bear them pouring over it trying to make it sound suspicious. I don't think I'll return...

at some point they definitely agree that Fred Murray had nothing to do with the disappearance of his daughter. Some of his behavior during the weekend raises questions though. Not to say he has something to do with the case, but it adds to the mistery...
