Liz takes a gamble this week, recommending a podcast that the lads are very much not the target for: Ladies, We Need To Talk. Then Zane recommends something we're surprised wasn't on Liz's list with The Wonderland Murders. Nick rounds off the recommendations with a deep dive into the origins of slavery in US history. Then as always, it's review time and we look at our podcasts from last week.

Nick Recommends - 1619
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/23/podcasts/the-daily/1619-project.html
In August of 1619, a ship carrying more than 20 enslaved Africans arrived in the English colony of Virginia. America was not yet America, but this was the moment it began. No aspect of the country that would be formed here has been untouched by the 250 years of slavery that followed. On the 400th anniversary of this fateful moment, it is time to tell the story.
“1619” is a New York Times audio series hosted by Nikole Hannah-Jones.
For either: From the start. Or episode 3.

Zane Recommends - The Wonderland Murders
https://wondery.com/shows/wonderland-murders/
Zane is taking a leaf from Liz's book and bringing in a Wondery True Crime podcast! Journey back to 1981, when four people were brutally murdered in their home in the Hollywood Hills. The Wonderland Murders is the tale of a violent home invasion robbery and the revenge rampage that followed. It involves a drug-fueled gang of criminals, a crazed crime kingpin -- and the world’s most famous porn star on a downward and deadly spiral. Join Young Charlie host Tracy Pattin and writer/director Larry Brand and they take you back to Wonderland Ave.
