60 Minutes

The granddaddy of investigative journalism, now in podcast form. Long-form reporting, exclusive interviews, and feature stories that have been setting the standard for literally decades. What makes 60 Minutes different is they still do the thing most outlets have abandoned - holding powerful people accountable to their face. The correspondents are experienced, the research is thorough, and the stories matter. Not every segment hits equally, but the best ones remind you what journalism is supposed to be. If you care about serious reporting, this is still the benchmark.
