December 2019 Podcast Roundup

A collaboration between the Canadian Broadcasting Corp and the Norwegian newspaper VG, Hunting Warhead is all about child sexual abuse images (child porn in the US) on the internet. Who are the people who make it? Trade it? How do you catch those people? What are the lengths you'll go to catch them? What should the punishments be?  So many important questions.  It's hard to listen to, but well made.  It's a limited-run podcast with only six episodes, but it is a hard topic, so it may not be one that you want to binge one right after the other.

If you really want to know what I did with my time in December, it was listen to Finish It!  I know I talked about it last month, but this podcast in which two brothers read every page and every ending of Choose Your Own Adventure books is amazing. They are really funny. They clearly love each other (and their mom). They make fun little games and songs that are hilarious.  And, frankly, there's never a mention of child sexual abuse images, so it's a definite palate cleanser for Hunting Warhead. Please listen! I desperately want to talk to someone about this podcast.  In the third book there's a MUSICAL EPISODE. You guys! It's so good.
