In the summer of the strangest Olympics in history, said Emma Dibdin in The New York Times, here are three podcasts that provide interesting perspectives on the games.

Blind Landing is a “compelling new investigative” series about the scandal that plagued women’s gymnastics at Sydney 2000. “One by one, with the whole world watching, elite gymnasts kept falling off the vault, in ways that were embarrassing at best and dangerous at worst.” The series tells the “bizarre” true story (“no spoilers”) of what was going on.
