Edit: Wow, I didn't even realize that some of these were produced around Boston. Lore is actually from the North Shore (where I'm from), pretty cool.

Boston has such an under-appreciated news sector. Between WBUR, PBS, and now the growth in podcasting, there is an enormous amount of world-class reporting coming out of the area.

You failed to mention WBZ 1030.

No I didn't. Zolak & Bertrand are mortal enemies of mine.

Spoiler: show

Just kidding. I don't even know who those dudes are. Your radio station is great.

They're not on WBZ 1030. They're on 98.5 The Sports Hub (WBZ-FM)

The your employer's website sucks.

Have you heard Howard Stern interview Adam Sandler? That sounds like a crime.

Criminal is what you're looking for:

Both the 60 Minutes and Frontline podcasts occasionally have true crime stories, and are surprisingly good considered it's just the audio ripped right from the tv show.
