Where do you pod? 😝🎧👂
🎧 Love Trapped🎧
A mad story involving a former Bachelor who gets caught up in a bizarre paternity dispute. It becomes a huge internet investigation, with people trying to work out who’s telling the truth - this is a crazy story! 🫠 I felt sorry for everyone in the end. Madness.
Vibe: Bonkers, twisty and very addictive.🎧🎧🎧
🎧 We Call Her Emma🎧
The story of Asma al-Assad, a woman from West London who married Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. She was initially portrayed as a glamorous, modernising First Lady (Lady Diana style) but her story becomes DARK as the Syrian war unfolds. It helped me understand a bit more about what’s happening in Syria 🇸🇾 too.
Vibe: Fascinating, complicated and pretty shocking.
🎧 The Real Carrie Jade🎧
The woman this is about creates completely different identities and manages to convince people she’s someone she isn’t. It’s wild!
Vibe: How did she get away with that?! 👀🙃
🎧 Dangerous Memories🎧
This is such a crazy story! A young woman suddenly cuts contact with her family after becoming involved with a therapist-like figure. As her mother investigates, she discovers other young women have had similar experiences.
Vibe: Really creepy, 👀psychological and scary!!
Tortoise
🎧 Foundling🎧
A newborn baby is abandoned beside a country lane in Suffolk in 1987. Years later, journalist Lucy Greenwell becomes determined to find the baby, Jess, and uncover what happened to her birth mother.
Vibe: Emotional, mysterious and very human.
