Podcast recommendations

[Minniee]

I've recently discovered podcasts, I know I'm late to the party.

Anyone got any recommendations for good ones please? It's to listen to while I'm running.

Thank you.

What kind of things do you like?
Roughly what are you looking for?

Basically anything, I'm brand new to them and it's a bit over whelming.

I have found some good true crime ones, and also one that's Fern Cotton has done called Happy place which are good.

I also like comedy.

I'm enjoying the distraction it gives me when running so am open to anything.

Thank tou

I listen to Shag, Married, Annoyed which is by Chris and Rosie Ramsey. Just chatting to each other.

If you fancy a running podcast there is marathon talk or bad boy running.

I also like tales. Which is fairy tales, but the original versions (not the disney-fied ones)

Shagged married annoyed makes me laugh. It is Chris Ramsay and his wife Rosie .
S town is true crime . Bit strange but very interesting.
Louis Theroux Grounded is him interviewing celebs during lockdown.

I like
Fortunately
Older and Wider
The Crypto Queen
13 minutes to the moon
The Bottom Line
Ramblings
The Digital Human
The Doorstep Murder
Work Like a Woman
Tunnel 29

You'll do is another good one.

I've been listening to Louis Theroux interview people on BBC Sounds - really good.

If you like something science/medical I can recommend "This podcast will kill you". Each episode is about a different disease or something related like how vaccines and antibiotics were developed and work. It's quite light hearted and easy to listen to and very informative.

Watching with interest, I've jus got into podcasts too. Ones I'm enjoying at the moment are;

Redhanded - True Crime
My Favourite Murder - True Crime
Seeing Red - Another true crime!
Adam Buxton Podcast - Just chat really
Rivals - Musics greatest feuds
You're Dead to Me - History Podcast
Evil Genius - History of famous figures

Love a podcast while running!

In the dark - series 2 crime/injustice
Shreds- crime/injustice
The missionary - White savour complex
Serial - crime/injustice
No such thing as a fish - QI fact team
More or less - investigating statistics in the news
Death in ice valley -mysterious cold case
Evil genius - comedy panel
You’re dead to me - history
My dad wrote porno -comedy
Richard herring Leicester sq theatre - interviews (hit and miss)
The drop out - cyber fraud
The shrink next door -fraud
The teachers pet - Australian true crime (this one got the investigation re-opend)

I’m a big fan of podcasts. I love interview ones so really like the Desert Island Discs Podcast and also I love The Big Travel Podcast. Fortunately is always good for a laugh too and Edith Bowman’s Soundtracking If you like movies and music.

These are brilliant, thank you all very much.

This Thing of Darkness was great:

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000fpnb/episodes/player

Athletico Mince

Scummy Mummies, like a spoken word version of Mumsnet

The infinite monkey cage
Intrigue - crime investigation documentaries
Manhunt
Punt PI
Death in ice valley
Girl taken
Friday night comedy - alternates between the News Quiz and politcal satire
Fake Heiress

All the above are from the BBC but do not use the BBC sounds app to listen, it is embarrassignly bad and not fit for purpose. I use Antennapod unless there is something I really want to listen to that I can only find on BBC Sounds although I'm also currently trying Podcast Addict to listen to Ankle Tag, which is a BBC comedy about a nice middle class couple and his dad who has just been released from prison.

Have you listened to the first series of Serial yet? That's fantastic - follows a possible carriage of misjustice. It was a spin off from This American Life, which is quite interesting journalistic magazine show - I used to listen to it a lot, but haven't for quite some time as podcasts have moved on so much.

My Favorite Murder - true crime retold by 2 comediennes. Definitely my favourite, although start at or near the beginning as there are quite a few in jokes.

Adam Buxton is good, I especially enjoy his chats with Joe Cornish and Louis Theroux, they're very silly.

Louis Theroux's Grounded - new for lockdown. Really like his interviewing style, loved his interview with Helena Bonham-Carte4.

Paradise - another true crime but a story being reinvestigated by journalists and the victims' families. Great presenter.

Stuff You Should Know - does what it says on the tin. This one's good to listen to with kids. Very likeable presenters.

Once you start listening, there will often be ads and recommendations for others to try out, that's how I've generally gone from one to the next.

Just had a great run listening to Louis Theroux on lockdown, I've got loads of other stuff downloaded after all these recommendations.

Thank you

I love A Good Read with Harriet Gilbert.

Really simple formula where the presenter and two guests read and discuss each person's suggested book.

HG is a great host; funny and intelligent.

I always pick up great recommendations.

Two Shot? I think that's what it's called? From the actor who played Dot in Line if Duty.
He interviews actors from an actors perspective- it's really interest and he has some great guests. I'll try and find a link.

Lots of True Crime stuff:

Real Crime Profile - interesting review of big cases

Also enjoy a good read.

Run pod - jenni falconer chats to lots of different people about running.
The secret world of slimming clubs. 3 women who shit at dieting get together each week and have a chat.

@EmmaStone

I came on to recommend Paradise but you have beaten me to it. I have just finished listening. Superb presenting and an incredible story. Wish I hadn't looked at the pictures of the real people on-line though!

Just been listening to Louis Theroux interviewing Miriam Margoyles - anyone heard that? So funny, right up to the very last line. It's for headphones though if you have younger children. It's here.
