Oh hey. You’re here again. It must mean it’s PODCAST TIME. This week, Zane gets his zzz in a spooky kooky way with On a Cold Dark Night. Liz finds a podcast that tests the limits of extreme internet satire with The Renner Files. And Nick gets ready for war, with The Bomb. Then it’s time for reviews reviews reviews. Well, just three of them, from the whole “we recommended some podcasts last week” thing.

Liz Recommends - The Renner Files

“The Renner Files is a new kind of true crime podcast… one that’s not about true crime at all. Instead it’s about Jeremy Renner’s ill-fated app. Why did Oscar-nominated actor Jeremy Renner ever have an app? What did it do? Who made it? Who used it? And why did it shake the internet to its core? Hosts Caroline Goldfarb and Sarah Ramos set out to investigate the mystery of the app, but got so much more in return. The Renner Files tells a larger story: one about the dangerous side of celebrity fandom, the ethics of audience exploitation, the celebrity influencer complex, and the destructive power of ironic internet comedy.”

For both: start from the start, it’s a serial.

A little-known scientist discovers something that will change the course of human history.

In London, he discovers the destructive possibilities of harnessing nuclear power; setting the course for the world’s first atomic bomb.

For both: from the start
