Playlisted Finished Netflix’s 'Tiger King?' Here’s What to Listen to Next Netflix’s wild documentary about a feuding group of big cat zoo owners arrived just in time to distract us from our quarantine blues. So after we finished the series and exhausted every meme, we did what we always do in times of crisis: We polled the Audible editors for listening recommendations. By Staff Apr 3, 2020 True to our persnickety tastes, some editors suggested stranger-than-fiction true crime with predatory twists; others leaned into subjects that Tiger King left to viewers to decode, like the ethics of animal treatment and the psychology of bad (human) behavior. We also found novels, short stories, and scripted audio featuring bizarro families and other colorful characters, and a cozy mystery with a wild side. You’ll just have to imagine the haircuts for yourself.
