Excellent Three-Part Series on Medjugorje from Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World

Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World is undoubtedly my favourite podcast of all time. I've been following it since it began, and it's now up to episode 340. I haven't listened to all of them, by any means, but I'd say I've listened to most of them.

Recently, they did a good three-part series on Medjugorje. (I'm not a believer in Medjugorje, though quite a few people I respect are, but it's very interesting nonetheless.)

The first part is here.

The second part is here.

And the bonanza, two-and-a-half hour third part is here.

While we're on the subject of Marian apparitions, the episode on Our Lady of Zeitoun is also excellent. (I find that one much more convincing!)

I can't claim to be a very enthusiastic podcast listener. I like the BBC podcasts In Our Time and Great Lives. (Though I haven't listened to that second one in a good while, and honestly I would find it hard to do so after the presenter Matthew Parris's contribution to the euthanasia debate.)

During Covid, I listened to the Secret Life of Prison podcast, having some fascination with the human situation of incarceration (especially at that time). But I haven't followed it in more recent years.

It's not really a podcast, but quite a few years ago I spent many a pleasant night listening to old horror-themed radio broadcasts. I think this was the website. It looks very different now, if it is.

On the subject of horror (and again, it's not really a podcast), I've recently discovered The Cobwebs Channel, in which an enthusiastic and likeable movie enthusiast talks about his favourite horror movies, and and movies in general.

What podcasts or YouTube channels do you like?
