Listened to my first podcast when running (Foundling) and l loved it. First time trying a podcast. Any more recommendations? I like real life drama/crime stuff. Preferably free on Apple.

Oh, there’s loads you can try.

Sweet Bobby is a favourite - true story about a woman who has a long term relationship but with a man she thinks she’s met…but actually, she hasn’t. Almost unbelievable listen but very intriguing.

If you like true crime about scams - the Something was wrong podcast in its first few seasons is completely gripping. Stories of women who got into relationships and they knew ‘something was wrong’.

I think that particular podcast hasnow completely lost its way but some of the earlier series had true life stories that were completely riveting..

@ohgollyme thank you! Both sound intriguing

Hi! I've just come across your post after looking for a new podcast myself (I like the same genres as you). My absolute favourite podcast that I recommend is Sea of Lies. It's a true crime story and it completely blew me away. It's gripping and really well told. I also enjoyed The Crypto Queen, Who the Hell is Hamish, The Dropout (about the Elizabeth Holmes scandal), The Gift, Lucky Boy and The Crossbow Killer. I don't have Apple myself, but they were easy to find on Spotify or other platforms and were all free.
