On to my picks this weekā¦
Podcast: Murder In Illinois
Genre: True Crime
Publisher: iHeartRadio
Just launched today, Murder in Illinois. We got some early reviews in and there has been a common observation from both reviews we added. A similar storyline trait from Serial. Fascinating. Host Lauren Bright Pacheco is coming off the success of her previously well-received true-crime series, Murder In Oregon.

āIn just the first episode this team has brought forward excellent writing, with a delivery that is eerily peaceful.ā
Podcast: Oh, Hello: the Pādcast
Genre: Comedy
Publisher: Gil Faizon, George St. Geegland
We add a handful of reviews each week. One of the podcasts I listened to is from the comedy pairing of John Mulaney and Nick Krollās characters Gil and George. They stay in character from the start. From the first episode, they try to enlist Ira Glass (This American Life) and Sarah Koenig (Serial) to help them with their pādcast about the death of Princess Diana. Itās funny because they have no expertise on the subject. Episode 2 brings in fellow comedian John Oliver in the mix. The pādcast was mainly used as a fundraiser for the United Way Covid relief fund.
