.nwquah on the podcasts you should be listening to right now
Photo-Illustration: Vulture Hey, everyone. I hope you enjoyed breakfast. Tell me what you’re listening to. You can reach me at nicholas.quah@nymag.com or find me on Twitter. There is something called the “troubled teen industry.” It’s a business in which teenagers who are considered maladjusted are more or less taken against their will to a center where they are meant to receive “treatment” for their behavior.
Sent Away comes out of a collaboration between the Salt Lake Tribune, KUER, and APM Report, which you might remember as the organization that publishes In the Dark. Three episodes are out as of this writing. New installments drop every Tuesday. Rare is the podcast mystery that gets a true and tangible resolution, and last week, Dead Eyes got exactly that.
Sure, it’s a gag premise, a kind of overthinker’s odyssey. The show’s description regards Ratliff’s quest as a “very stupid mystery.” Yet there are pleasures to blowing up a low-stakes adventure like this into cartoonish proportions.
➽ Listen, I like to keep up with the business of show business. I follow the trades. I read fellow Vulture newsletter slinger Joe Adalian and Buffering. So of course I’m interested in The Town, a new industry-speak podcast from Matthew Belloni, who covers Hollywood for Puck and has long been good with the gossipy side of entertainment-empire building.
