Category: News & Politics
Average Rating: 5 stars
Most Popular Episode: Episode One: Past, Present, Future
What it’s about: This podcast is interesting in that it is a real-time investigation into the disappearance of Jennifer Kesse. Kesse was a 24 year-old financial analyst, when she disappeared from Orlando, Florida on January 24th, 2006. Unconcluded is a true investigative podcast, where details of the young woman’s disappearance are discussed, as little progress has been made within the past eleven years of the official investigation. Provided increadibly little evidence, this podcast explores the various possibilities of Kessler’s disappearance and seeks to draw awareness and therefore help fill in some of these missing puzzle pieces.
Beautiful Stories From Anonymous People

Category: Comedy
Average Rating: 5 stars
Most Popular Episode: Ron Paul’s Baby
What it’s about: This is one of the most genuine podcasts available, where there is one phone call in one hour with no names and no holds barred. Chris Gethard opens the phone line for one hour to an anonymous caller and he cannot hang up first no matter what. While the technical category for this podcast is “comedy”, these stories are truly beautiful – some are inspirational or philosophical, others are hilarious or terribly sad. What makes the show is how these stories come from your “average, everyday people”. They are unique and nothing like you have ever heard before. Many of these stories are personal, and you feel as though you are listening in on a special conversation in every episode.
