The Docket 07.11.24: Road-trip listens

the true crime that's worth your time

[subscribe to the Docket on your pod app, or listen here!]

It's summer, and for a lot of us, that means hitting the highway (or the airport lounge) -- so what's the best true crime to have in your earbuds/on your car stereo? First we're setting some parameters (not too gory, but not too arcane; not for errands or for bedtime); then we're getting into some major-case podcasts, favored audiobook narrators, and pleasingly old-timey tales to make the miles fly by. Throw our show notes in your beach bag (or add to our list in the comments)!
