I'll go out on a limb and suggest Dolly Parton's America. There's no true crime in it but it's vast and glorious and will catch you off guard as it draws you in.

It looks at Dolly as a musical powerhouse rather than the familiar boobs-and-rhinestones trope and takes fascinating turns into music history (the episode on the origins of the fiddle in southern music was excellent), mountain homes, feminism, and how she navigates today's political climate as an activist but not a shouty one. www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/dolly-partons-america

Well, obviously, David, because that's what tall, quirky journalists are for.
