Alibi

This award-winning true crime podcast follows the case of a South African man who claims to be innocent of a heinous crime. Journalist Paul McNally and presenter Freddy Mabitsela do their best to figure out the truth. Is Anthony deVries innocent like he claims? Did the police botch this case? Listen to testimonies and McNally and Mabitsela’s own findings in the podcast.

 

Darknet Diaries

Darknet Diaries is a true crime podcast that follows crimes that happen online, hosted by Jack Rhysider. The episodes are all available on iTunes. Each episode follows a different case with the longer and more detailed cases having two parts. Internet hacking isn’t reported as much as murders, so it’s a way to learn about a different crime.

 

Someone Knows Something

Someone Knows Something is one of my favorite podcasts. It’s in the same investigation style as Serial, where it tries to uncover new information. I like that they examine older cases and make them relevant by adding new details. It helps get the case back in the public eye with more of a chance to be solved.

 

In the Dark

This podcast is another one I listen to, because it focuses on how authorities mismanaged a case versus solving the case. Its newest season just began in May, and is easy to binge. The podcast follows the story of Curtis Flowers, tried six times for the same crime. For 21 years, he has won appeals and maintained his innocence, but he’s still on death row.

Where can you find the friendliest airport staff? According to Upgraded Points, at Portland International Airport. The travel company’s study focused on the 50 busiest airports, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Upgraded Points then analyzed Google and Yelp reviews for each airport, noting mentions of “friendly” or “rude” staff or TSA. Mentions were compared to the total number of reviews to calculate a ratio of positive to negative interactions, with each airport scored on a scale of 0 to 5 based on the ratio of positive mentions for a possible score of 50.
