Helps me to remember! When I was in school, even if I didn’t look back at my notes in great detail, something about the act of taking notes while listening to a lecture made the knowledge stick a bit better.
In school I would alternate between typing and writing notes in a notebook. These days I prefer writing them down in a journal or planner, though the notes app on my phone also comes in handy a lot!
It was only an 8-part series, but I recently listened to Scamanda and really enjoyed it. Very in-depth look at Amanda Riley and her years-long scam of faking cancer to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations.
For an ongoing podcast, Stuff They Don’t Want You To Know. Goes into some weird and wacky news, history, and stories, very enjoyable listen. Also Scamfluencers for… well, stories about celebrity/influencer scammers.
