Podcast Corner: Notorious killings feature in Slow Burn

After in-depth explainers on Watergate and the Clinton affair in seasons one and two, respectively, Slate podcast Slow Burn took a left turn in its third season, leaving behind politics to look at the Tupac-Notorious BIG murders in the mid-1990s.

The eight-episode season, which concluded in mid-December, proved a success, drawing over 7m downloads, according to Vulture (which also reported that host Joel Anderson is gearing up for a five-city tour showcasing a new episode — the new live norm for podcasts?).
