Today I discovered podcasts…

So I realise I am way behind the times here…

Today after realising I was so bored listening to the radio evening after evening on my commute home I decided to dabble into the world of podcasts. I remember someone recommending happy mum happy baby and so listened to an episode on the way home and really enjoyed the change. It was so refreshing to listen to something interesting! So I would love it if people can recommend some podcasts for me! What are your favourites?? I feel like I’m entering a whole new world!

Drunk women solving crime
Shagged married annoyed
(Lockdown) parenting hell
Standard issue
Stories of Scotland
The history chicks

Sorry didn’t realise there was a recent thread! Will be sure to look at suggestions on that as well! Wasn’t sure where podcast chat may be found on here.

Umm...I'm behind the times too... what's a podcast?

They are like radio shows - Google it and loads come up. I use the Spotify app which costs 10.99 a month, but beyond that you can download anything for free - music or podcasts.

I really like ‘Deliciously Ella’ and ‘The Food Medic’ very rarely are these about food but more well-being focussed!

Lore and Cabinet of Curiosities. Lore is so good Amazon Prime Video turned it into a TV series.

My Favorite Murder is great.

Shagged Married Annoyed is one I always listen to the day it comes out. It's great watching the show grow since it started. I saw them live the other month too, was just as funny.

My Dad Wrote a Porno will have you in stitches!

pinkhippo thanks..I have Spotify for music playlists so will have a look...

Even if I have made an error in making a duplicate thread - (will remind myself to search next time.) It does fill me with some comfort that I am not the only one who is new to podcasts and someone else has also been living in a cave.

@Pinkhippotato - Oo a mumsnet AIBU podcast, definitely going to check this out.

WTF with Marc Maron. I feel like he's accompanied me through the last 11 years or so.

I really like The Guilty Feminist podcast

Louis Theroux did a good series over lockdown, I think it was called Grounded

How to fail by Elizabeth Day interview with people about their failures

You're dead to me a history podcast on bbc sounds

Parenting Hell with Josh Widdicombe and Rob Beckett is fab!

How to fail by Elizabeth Day is great.

My Therapist Ghosted Me is hilarious.

The Doorstep Murder and Girl Taken, both by BBC are fascinating.

If it makes you feel better, i didn't realise about podcasts for a couple of years after I started using Spotify. Of course I found out via MN!

@SilverPeacock

First season of Serial is what got me into podcasts. It depends what you are interested in?

That was/is my first podcast and it was great.

Have made a note of Dead to me.

The BBC sounds app has some great ones

Sorry, it wasn't meant as a criticism @Spottyspotladybird just wanted to make sure you saw all of those too as I love a podcast!

@coldwarenigma - I also had to ask a colleague how I listen to them… like I have heard of them but where are they!?

So I listened to a podcast a few years ago about UK policing, and it taught you how the police approach different crimes. It was amazing, but I only heard one and found it again. Does anyone recognise it?

*never found it

I could recommend a million true crime podcasts but not to everyone's taste!

Outside of that genre No Such Thing As A Fish is great, You're Dead To Me I've just started and seems good, and I enjoyed The Boring Talks but they haven't released one since April.

Lots of friends recommend My Dad Wrote a Porno but I haven't dived into that yet.

@Rina66 don’t worry! Not taken as offence at all! Love that there’s so many suggestions on that thread as well!! Thanks for making me aware of it!

Listen on Podbeam. .
