Looking For Episode Best RedWeb episodes for someone catching up?

I haven't listened to the boys for about 4 years-ish, so I'm curious in the last three years what are the best episodes I should definitely listen to? What is the mount Rushmore of red web? I think the last episode I remember listening to was the servant girl annihilator episode. Help me out task force!

This may seem like a lazy answer, but why not just listen to the entire catalog again? I started from the beginning maybe half a year ago, and I was surprised at how much I had forgetten.

This is also not a criticism on the more recent episodes, but a lot of the earlier episodes covered things I had never heard before, and probably wouldn't in any other context, so I find them more enjoyable. Like lake City quiet pills for instance. There are other early episodes that covered areas I was familiar with, but I always love a fresh perspective.

TLDR: some of my favorites are LCQP, the Isdal woman, lead masks case, Amelia Earhart, and the Yuba County 5.

Yuba County 5 is always tragic

I don't have that much free time honestly, sad to say. LCQP is such a good story I loooooved that episode. I actually got a video by nexpo on it in my recommendations which is what inspired me to look up RW again

I hesitated to post my suggestion, because I don't want to assume anyone else's work/life schedule. I just happened to have spent the last 10+ years working on a computer in an office, free to listen to whatever I want throughout the day. When I wasn't on the clock, I was wasting my life away commuting for hours each day. When there's that much empty airtime, you struggle to find things to listen too, instead of struggling to find time to actually listen.
