Rec & Request

Request: Favorite non-fiction audiobooks, ideally not something super-long (and not too much of a downer, lol). My brain Cannot with fiction audiobooks, but I'm interested in seeing if I have the same problem with non-fiction.

Rec: For people who like non-fiction podcasts, I'm one episode away from finishing GBH's The Big Dig, which is essentially a documentary of the eponymous project, and it's been excellent - great use of interviews and archival material, and it feels really balanced in it's view of all the players. I'm a little biased in that I grew up in Massachusetts during the construction phase and I remember bits and pieces of the news along the way, but I do think it would be interesting to people interested in urban infrastructure and how it gets built in general.
