Having realised that listening to the radio on my phone whilst running is a very quick way to lost a LOT of data, I think I should download some podcasts instead. I need something that will be great escapism and distract me from the pain of trying to run.

Want to stay away from anything political or about fashion/beauty/lifestyle. I love listening to Chris Evans on Virgin for his longer interviews so interesting interviews could be good. Or real life stuff. Maybe true crime? I tried one of those this morning and the woman had such a ridiculous monotone that I gave up.

So, wise podcast-listening people of MN, any suggestions?

Thank you!

Oh fantastic!! Thank you all so much for this brilliant list. I am going on the hunt for these now and will work my way through the recommendations, starting with the ones that have been mentioned a few times

Suddenly going for a run is actually very appealing!

Thanks again.

Should have listened to the warnings... made the mistake of downloading the first series of My Dad Wrote a Porno to listen to on a series of trains. Couldn’t stop myself from shuddering with laughter and definitely made myself the weirdo commuter! Brilliant stuff.
