This podcast is another great option for people who enjoy the
structure of one story per season. Up and Vanished, hosted by
Payne Lindsey, digs up cold, missing person cases and starts
the process of reinvestigating and searching for new
information. Season 1 does an absolutely phenomenal job of
looking into the Tara Grinstead case of Ocilla, GA. Payne and
his team spent months in interviews and looking for any
possible drop of new evidence in the case over the course of
the season. Definitely look into listening to this one on your
next commute.
6. Wrongful
Conviction
Although this podcast features stories of extreme hurty and
injustice, it is fascinating to listen to the process that these
inmates went through in order to gain their freedom from
incarceration. Wrongful Conviction talks through the triumph of
justice, albeit after significant time, in the cases of those who
have been wrongfully accused of a crime. Some of these
stories feature people who were on death row for a crime that
they did not convict. Their stories, told by Jason Flom, are
amazing and incredibly interesting to listen to.
