Search Engine is exactly the kind of journalism podcast I love. Each week features a fresh deep dive into taboo and under researched questions. I need more!

Topical and insightful

Investigative journalism on the topics you didn't know you needed to know about. Host PJ and his guests deliver an informative take on a variety of topics, while keeping the show fun and interesting start to finish. Pitch-perfect sound engineering and expert production make every episode so enjoyable, I can't stop listening. Definitely a new favorite.
