Recommendations like Million Dollar Lover and The Gift

[Adatewithmyself]

Hi all

Just binged both of these and looking for similar gripping recommendations!

I liked these because they’re not the usual female murder / abducted girl true crime genre, which there is so much of and I don’t want.

Preferred genre would be “compelling human interest story with intrigue”.

Thanks in advance!

These don't fit your requirements completely but they're very good:

The Great Post Office Trial - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m000jf7j

Blood on the Dance Floor - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0fdqs8p

There's also this: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/5024515-bbc-sounds-podcast-suggestions

I’ve just started Kill List on Wondery which is very good indeed (my pov from 3 episodes in!)
It’s true crime - basically there’s a list of people who have had a “hit” ordered against them and details the efforts of a journalist and a hacker to contact the individuals, get various police forces and agencies to engage with them before the people who have ordered the hit take matters into their own hands….

I also love the Survival podcasts on BBC sounds. They are brilliant.

Couldn't resist looking more and I was reminded of:

Apollo 13 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083wp70

Fake Heiress - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c9mb

The Missing Cryptoqueen - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07nkd84

Ooh, those from@ToweringDiscoInfernolook good too.

Happily Never After
Stolen Hearts
The Tortoise Media podcasts are very good too.

Atomic Hobo if you are into cold war nuclear terror

Great! Thanks for all these!

@AdatewithmyselfThe Gift returns next week with series 2: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0024p01

Oh that's great news!

I've listened to the two that you mention OP. I second listening to The Missing Crypto Queen.

Love Cautionary Tales on bbc, plus agree with other posters on the Apollo 13 series, Cryptoqueen, Survival.
