Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I don't know the name of the series but, the same production company (or a similar one?) who did the Mayday series on Discovery about the plane crashes did a few similar one's about some shipwrecks. Recreating and dissecting how they happened, why those particular ones were interesting. If that's the kind of mystery you like.

Anything with disasters and tragedies are always a guaranteed listen or watch in my books, especially if they're a couple hours long in length.

Cautionary Tales podcast has a male host with a soothing British voice describing the human and process failures that led to various disasters like shipwrecks and contests that gave away way more prizes than they expected.

Having a scroll through his videos, it sounds right up my alley, government stuff, UFO, Ancient history stuff sounds good. Thank you for the recommendation!

I'm glad you like it!
