Ten years ago, most people hadn’t even heard of a podcast. Now, they’re an integral part of the media landscape, and none more so than those about true crime . To rank the best, we polled true-crime aficionados about their favorite shows, then sifted through the top choices. Whether they cover a new case each episode or present a story over the course of a season, these picks each shaped the genre in their own way. Some are the results of deep investigative journalism; others are by amateur sleuths trying to help families find answers. Some focus on bringing publicity to cold cases in underrepresented communities, and some changed the way we think about crime storytelling altogether. Perhaps equally important, they’re all great listening, promising the kind of captivating intrigue that continues to draw generation after generation to true crime: tragedy, mystery, a search for answers, and always the hunger for justice. 25.

Kerry Fights Back
“I’m going straight to the White House,” John Kerry says. “I’m thrilled with where the campaign is right now.” Just 90 minutes earlier, on this warm afternoon in late September, he stood on an outdoor stage at the University of Pennsylvania campus in downtown Philadelphia and gazed out onto a sea of 20,000 supporters. The school had hosted only one other rally this big in recent memory – when Bill Clinton came through on his re-election tour in 1996. It’s heady stuff when a first-time presidential candidate draws crowds comparable in size to those of a popular sitting president. “I feel as if we have finally gotten the American people and the press simultaneously focused on the real issues,” he says. “Things I’ve been talking about for two years. George Bush has made catastrophic mistakes in Iraq, catastrophic mistakes in foreign policy. He’s shown bad judgment, made bad choices about how to proceed in a war on terror.

In Defense of Draymond Green’s Dick Pic
Draymond Green is having a really bad summer. The week before Memorial Day, he was fined $25,000 for kicking Steven Adams in the groin during Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, a move that Green insisted was unintentional. The human brain has control over the arm, Green argued to journalists in a fun round of bullshitting, but not the leg. Two weeks later, in Game 4 of the Finals, Green’s brain seemingly lost the control it had (or never had), and from the floor he swung his arm into LeBron James’ crotch. He drew not only his fourth flagrant foul of the postseason, but also a suspension for Game 5, and he publicly took the blame for the Warriors’ loss in the finals, recognizing that his behavior had changed the course of a team that seemed inevitable. In July , Green made headlines again for allegedly assaulting a Michigan State football player outside an East Lansing restaurant. The fight outwardly involved the football player’s girlfriend, who alleged that members of … [Read more...] about In Defense of Draymond Green’s Dick Pic

Varun went on to add that he simply had a blast working with Anil Kapoor. "Even during promotions, he took the entire cast for a dinner.
