New and Notable: August 2022 Edition. We're sharing high profile crime stories told from the perspective of the journalists who covered them, an investigation into the secrets behind the multi-billion dollar porn industry, and an ode to scent. Featuring: True Crime Byline: "True Crime is one of the most popular genres in podcasting. Every year big studios release dozens of high production series about gruesome crimes and real-life scams. But before those stories become podcasts, most of the time, there's a dogged reporter doing the hard work of bringing them to light. True Crime Byline interviews the reporters who cover these crimes, and ask them what it was actually like to sit in courtrooms, chase down leads, get to know family members and talk to witnesses."
Hot Money: "This series seeks to uncover the inner workings of the business side of the modern porn industry. The internet undeniably had a massive impact on shifting the way porn was distributed. In this first episode, Patricia Nilsson and Alex Barker of the Financial Times speak with sex performer Stoya about how this shift into tube sites, like Pornhub, changed things for her — and how the owners of tube sites are not subjected to the same stigmas."
