[The Boys of Winter] by [Wayne Coffey] tells of one of the greatest sporting events ever (I will not say THE greatest since the US Women's Soccer team did pretty well this year.) For those of you who think you know everything there is to know about the 1980 Gold Medal 'Miracle' team, trust me you don't and should read this book.

[Coffey] does a great job in telling what made the players and coach tick. The unknown backstory. The flips in the story from telling of the players history or interviews interspersed with telling of the game works very well in this book.

Controversial but popular podcast
Sword and scale is a bit like marmite. You either love it or hate it.
Whatever you think, this crime podcast narrated by Mike Boudet is a hugely popular show in term of active listeners.
It really does draw you in and you have plenty of episodes to go through. Sword and scale is to the point and can be a bit insensitive or biased.
It's usually the host that draws the controversy. However in my mind the solution is simple. If you are easily offended don't listen..

Oh, this book! If you love crime, facts, gruesome stuff, this is the book for you!
Not at all what I imagined it would be. I figured it would be facts about the hospital, possible interviews with staff etc. however, due to very limited information being freely given on the hospital itself, the book turned out the most fantastically real read.
Enter the patients. To fill the pages there is chapter after chapter of patients and their crimes. Facts that keep the pages turning until your eyes cant stay open any longer. Cannot recommend this book highly enough. Absolutely fantastic, start to finish!
