Good morning ☀️I hope you had a great weekend... four podcasts below to kick off the week!!!

Red Elvis

Dean Reed - ever heard of him? Probably not, and even though he had a brief career, he became an international superstar during the height of the Cold War. The podcast is narrated by his daughter Ramona who decides to find out what really happen to her father following his mysterious murder. Great series, exciting and they mix the music in with the narration really well!

Land of the Giants (Tinder Changed the Game)
