The Extreme Staycation

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown Channel 4 have broadcast a documentary over 4 nights this week on the Falconio and Lee's case.  For the unitiated,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Peter_Falconio Now I love a good investigation into a previously "solved" crime.  I've watched all 20 plus hours of "Making a Murderer" on Netflix, as well as "The Staircase".  I've also listened to the Serial podcast about Adnan Syed and I've read far too much about Marilyn Monroe's "suicide" to believe it to be so - maybe I'll write a longer post about that one.

Location: London, UK COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak Lockdown I love to walk as I've mentioned before and to accompany my walk, I enjoy a good podcast.  But I've also taken to listening while I cook or clean. My regular ones include: Make Me Smart  - Usually weekly, now daily, American.  Looks at news, economy and tech, really interesting and fun. The Chickpeeps  - This is a podcast about all elements of veganism.  It's much more accessible and fun than it sounds and will answer any questions as they have loads of experts as guests. Serial  - the first series was a huge talking point worldwide, featuring the case of Adnan Syed.  I would also recommend the following series, very interesting. The Teachers Pet  - about the disappearance of Lynnette Dawson in Sydney, Australia in 1982.  Fascinating and quite frankly, horrifying. Slow Burn  - series 1 is all about Watergate which I am currently listening to....
