Welcome to Your Fantasy and The Missing are two new true crime podcasts swelling the ranks in a genre which continues to feature highly in both Spotify and Apple podcast charts.

We鈥檝e another in our continuing series, Moments of Joy, showing how art can brighten dark times. Today it鈥檚 the turn of writer Max Liu, who celebrates a moment in Annie Baker鈥榮 drama The Flick, which defies theatrical conventions to great effect. It also reminds us of the unacknowledged value of small talk.
