Like True Detective? This is pretty much the radio version, and it’s riveting. Journalist Sarah Koenig deep dives into the case of Adnan Sayed, a Baltimore youth who was, perhaps erroneously, convicted of murdering his girlfriend in 1999. Each episode is one hour long. Perfect for commutes. More picks this way.


READ: Angels


A beautiful coffee table book devoted to, well, beauty. Meaning, 304 pages of artsy B&W pics of Gisele, Adriana Lima, Brooklyn Decker and Alessandra Ambrosio, all by Russell James, a photographer for Victoria’s Secret. More picks this way.


WATCH: Stanley Kubrick: The Masterpiece Collection


Here’s your holiday viewing. A new Blu-ray set featuring eight classic Kubrick flicks — from 1962’s Lolita to the posthumous Eyes Wide Shut — and six documentaries on the auteur, including three new ones.
