One of those tools, the "Problematic Paper Screener," run by Guillaume Cabanac, a computer-science researcher who studies scholarly publishing at the UniversitΓ© Toulouse III-Paul Sabatier in France, scans the breadth of the published literature, some 130 million papers, looking for a range of red flags including "tortured phrases." Cabanac and his colleagues realized that researchers who wanted to avoid plagiarism detectors had swapped out key scientific terms for synonyms from automatic text generators, leading to comically misfit phrases. "Breast cancer" became "bosom peril"; "fluid dynamics" became "gooey stream"; "artificial intelligence" became "counterfeit consciousness." from Flood of Fake Science Forces Multiple Journal Closures [WSJ; ungated]

As previously mentioned, A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs is an exhaustive exploration of that music genre, starting before it existed and currently up to 1966. It is notable for the extensive research that goes into each episode (the detailed exploration of where Johnny Cash drew inspiration from is particularly striking), so much so that another podcaster (not linked to here for obvious reasons) has apparently been plagiarising entire episodes.
