As part of its “Best of 2018” awards, Apple named its selections for the best podcasts of the year. Among the chosen, there’s quite an eclectic mix. There’s the hugely popular In the Dark, which is an investigative podcast about Curtis Flowers, the man who has been tried six times in the state of Mississippi for the same murder. If you’re looking something similar-yet-different, The Onion’s satirical podcast, A Very Fatal Murder, about a fake murder in Nebraska also makes the list. Both the New York Times and This American Life have two podcasts that made the 15-podcast cut. Dax Shepard continues to rise, interviewing interesting celebrities on his new podcast Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. And Marvel’s first scripted podcast, Wolverine: The Long Night, which follows the iconic blade-wielding mutant as he is wanted for murder in a remote Alaskan town.
