Hi, I recently had some free time between work and family time. So, I decided to curate my podcasts list and share with you. It’s been an incredible experience listening to them and I would love for you to listen too. Almost all these series have a very catchy hook.

Story-telling is quite significant for me. My generation grew up on Sci-fi movies, comic books, and animation. So, listening to a podcast where the Host puts you in an imaginative movie state is quite incredible. I’ll be sharing some podcasts on my playlist, and I hope you can put pictures to the story plot and enjoy every bit of it.

Business Wars

Business Wars gives you an unauthorized, detailed story of how companies fight hard and dirty to beat their competition. Netflix vs. HBO. Boeing vs. Airbus. Facebook vs. Snapchat. The Browser Wars (Mosaic vs. Netscape vs. Microsoft vs. Google).

Marvel vs. DC was a battle to give the best experience to faithful comic fans. Both companies also became very wealthy while at it. You’ll learn what drives these companies and their founders, investors, and executives to new success — or to their downfall.

I Spy

I couldn’t contain the excitement while listening to all the episodes. If you know me, I love my spy-military books and movies.

In each episode, Spies did what Spies don’t do. They talked about the whole story about just one operation. I assume a case they'd talk about was declassified. We hear from operations people: spies who steal secrets, get rid of adversaries and turn agents into double agents.

FP’s First Person

FP, as in Foreign Policy, launched First Person to cover interesting political debates and issues around the world. Stories from the Iran crisis, the truth about the U.S. War in Afghanistan, China’s One-child Policy, Trump, Immigration, and so on. It’s one hell of a complete series put together.

The Score: Bank Robber Diaries

The show reveals the story of Joe Loya — an apologetic bank robber — who robbed about 30 Banks within 14 months. It tells his story of transformation from an abusive childhood to a prolific bank robber, violent convict, ex-con, writer, and a changed man.

This series was also quite detailed, and I could easily imagine the picture from every plot.

American Scandal

Scandals have been an American thing since its founding, and it’s primarily shaped America. From business to politics to corporations and society. This series looked into real-life stories on corruption, deceit, politicians, and moguls trying to tear each other apart, heroes and celebrities.

Hunting Warhead

These guys follow the journalists and police on a mission to expose the darkest corners of the internet. What is discovered is shocking. They found out certain people have taken up a bizarre hobby in child pornography and abuse. How do you take down a criminal network that’s hidden in the shadows? Find out more from this series.

I hope to share with you more of my podcast series. Let me know what you think of my list, and please share yours too.
