Roundup of Last Seen deep dive [Episode 38] Dec 31, 2018

Show notes

In this roundup episode, Sara and Adela chat about the deep dive Podcast Brunch Club did into the Last Seen podcast. We also get feedback from PBC members worldwide on whether a limited run series, like Last Seen, needs a conclusion to feel satisfying. Adela and Sara then diverge from the binge listen and do a year-end superlatives award segment for the podcast landscape.

Some of the superlatives are:

Best Laugh (and best analogies or most likely to be an English major): PJ Vogt, co-host of Reply All
Class Activist: Mark Pagán, host of Other Men Need Help
Cutest Couple: Maeve Higgins and Mary Robinson, hosts of Mothers of Invention (runner up: William Hanson and Jordan North, co-hosts of Help I Sexted My Boss)

Kelly Horan, reporter on Last Seen [Episode 37] Dec 18, 2018

Show notes

Sara interviews Kelly Horan, senior producer and a senior reporter of the Last Seen podcast from WBUR and The Boston Globe. Podcast Brunch Club did things a little differently this month: rather than a thematic podcast playlist, PBC members worldwide did a deep dive into the Last Seen podcast. The podcast explored the largest unsolved art heist in history, which was the theft of 13 artworks from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston in 1990.

Podcast pick from Kelly: Dead Man Talking podcast from Audioboom – a true crime podcast that delves into the confession from a serial killer.
