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.

It's not an audiobook, because I don't with audiobooks either (unless I'm knitting, funnily?), but I listen to "Well there's your problem" a lot when I'm doing chores around the house. It's a podcast about engineering disasters that *theoretically* also has slides...but unless they discuss bridges, I've been okay with just the audio portion.
