Actor Milo Ventimiglia loves a good story.

S Town

“I would be remiss not to put this on my podcast list, as this was the first podcast I ever listened to. The story follows John McLemore, one of the most fascinating and unique characters you’ll meet, and coupled with Brian Reed’s narration, it’s the perfect entry into the world of podcast mysteries. This is one you cannot miss.”

Up and Vanished

“Follow host Payne Lindsey as he unravels the case of Tara Grinstead, a mystery 13 years in the making, and discovers that a sleepy Georgia town may be hiding some secrets to her disappearance. I enjoyed the mystery as well as the cast of colorful characters that Payne brings to life along with his own struggles creating a podcast for the first time. And shout out to Donald Albright, the man behind the scenes of this extremely solid listen.”

Business Wars

Business Wars

“Corporate espionage, you say?! This podcast tells the fascinating true stories behind some of the biggest business shakeups of our time. Find out what really happened when Netflix took on Blockbuster or when Domino’s went up against Pizza Hut. From the rise and fall of Levi’s to TikTok, Business Wars takes you behind the headlines and is one of the best-produced podcast series around.”
