A peek behind the bars at Guantánamo Bay, the untold story behind "Tainted Love", and more great new podcasts (ft. Sarah Koenig, Dana Chivvis, Novena Carmel, Michael Barnes)


Listen Later

In the early days of the war on terror, the US captured thousands of alleged “enemy combatants” overseas, but they needed somewhere to hold and interrogate them… without worrying about those pesky Geneva Conventions. 


Guantánamo Bay was the perfect solution. But not long after it opened, the truth of its makeshift justice system started coming to light. 


The new season of Serial offers an unprecedented look behind the scenes at the island prison. Today, Leah sits down with co-hosts Sarah Koenig and Dana Chivvis to hear the story behind their reporting.


Plus, you know the song "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell? Well, did you know it was actually an obscure soul song written in the 1960s? We'll hear that story from Lost Notes, plus Leah talks to co-hosts Novena Carmel and Michael Barnes about the show.


All that and more this week on Podcast Playlist.


Featuring: Serial, Lost Notes, Broomgate, White Devil
