With nothing on television but re-runs and hours of cricket, I'm reduced to listening to podcasts - I particularly like the True Crime ones.
Cold cases are interesting - there's a podcast from Canadian Radio called "Someone Knows Something"
http://www.cbc.ca/radio/sks
Season 1 is about the case of a five year old boy, Adrien McNaughton, who went missing in British Columbia while fishing with his dad way back in 1972. The author of the podcast, David Ridgen, interviews people involved in the case, which seems to be ongoing - it looks to be up to about 6 episodes so far.
Season 2 details the case of a beautiful young woman, Sheryl Sheppard, who disappeared back in the late nineties. Her fiancé had just proposed to her on national television. The cold case gets more and more interesting as David delves into her past and the people who last saw her alive.
An absolutely riveting fictional podcast from GE is called Life After http://lif-e.af/ter
You become so invested in the main character, a low level data entry employee in the FBI who begins to talk to his dead wife (stay with me here!) on an audio channel - her podcast - the hero is torn between keeping his connection with his dead wife alive and dealing bravely with forces much larger than himself. The ten episodes are so addictive you want to listen to them all at once!
The other one which is completely fictional is called Homecoming https://gimletmedia.com/homecoming/
It's a psychological thriller - currently up to Episode 6 - a fascinating story about a social worker helping scarred war veterans deal with their PTSD. I can't wait for the next episode!
The beautiful thing is, they're all available free on iTunes - on the telly or iPod...AND can be listened to when you're doing the ironing or walking or doing chores!
