Suggest me a Podcast!

[rolopo]

Does anyone fancy a thread for suggesting great podcasts? I get through so many so would love a few recommendations. I'll start!

Parenting Hell
Josh widdicombe and rob beckett interview celebrity guest and tell hilarious stories of parenting. Very lighthearted and good fun.

Jaackmaate
I love the episodes where he is interviewing guests, my favourite has to be the episode with ex undercover police officer Peter Blexsley really interesting stuff! He also does episodes just chatting with his mates which don't really interest me but that's just me.

British Scandal
Alice Lavine and Matt Forde retell historical events that caused chaos. Including the coughing major who cheated on millionaire and the story of John Darwin who faked his own death with the help of his wife.

Does anyone want to add any suggestions?!

Who the Hell is Hamish

Off menu, especially the Tom Allen episode.

Life's a beach -Alan Carr.

Desert Island Dicks - some very funny episodes.

The Book Club Review.

Films to be buried with - Brett Goldstein

I quite like the Frank Skinner poetry podcast too.

The Wolf and Owl podcast- Romesh Ranganathan and Tom Davis. They do a weekly podcast where they just get together, talk crap (although sometimes have deep conversations) and it's hilarious.

I also love Parenting Hell, Distraction Pieces with Scroobious Pip, the Adam Buxton podcast and I've just started listening to Richard Herring's one. Off Menu is also really good.

More or less
Cautionary tales
What the f*ck is going on
No such thing as a fish
The bugle
You're dead to me

Oh, and Full Disclosure with James O'Brien. Questlove's podcast is also pretty good!

How has nobody mentioned Bad People on BBC Sounds. Absolute genius.

F

This is great will start working my way through! I especially love the fraud / crime ones that aren't murdery as that would freak me out too much before bed!

Sweet Bobby is a good suggestion I also enjoyed that though I found it very frustrating that she was take in by it at the same time!

@StrictlyAFemaleFemale

Theres a podcasr topic under film & tv. Lots and lots of recommendations there.

Ooh thanks I had no idea!

The Truth- a massive back catalogue of short stories with twists at the end. Each story about 20 mins long, perfect for my commute.

Eat Hustle- stories from an American prison

So relieved someone has mentioned Adam Buxton, I was feeling very alone in my adoration of his podcast. He’s hands down my favourite. I’ve even started stalking other podcasts he appears on as a guest just to get my Adam Buxton fix!

Conan O’Brien has a great podcast with some incredible guests, just long in-depth chats and he’s one of the naturally funniest interviewers I’ve ever heard. I quite like SmartLess too.

Winds of Change by Patrick Radden Keefe (discovered him thru the Adam Buxton podcast) is one of the best entertainment experiences I’ve ever had. Everyone I know gets hooked on this one to the point they can’t do anything else until they’ve got to the end. 8 episodes, v highly produced, documentary style, all about a mystery involving the CIA and a famous pop song.

Louis Theroux ones were great, wish there were more.

Some really interesting reccs on this thread that I’m going to try, I need a new podcast (until Adam Buxton comes back from his annual hiatus!)

I’ve re read my post and realise I sound like I have some kind of Adam Buxton fixation… I don’t, honest…!

He is really good though!

How to fail by Elizabeth Day
The Curious cases of Rutherford and Fry ( science podcast)

Cheat is really good quick interesting stories

Scientolgy Fair game

This American Life

The Immaculate deception is excellent

I especially love the fraud / crime ones that aren't murdery as that would freak me out too much before bed!

Definitely look at the post office one also the Dropout about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos.

No Such Thing As A Fish
Focussing on a few obscure facts each episode. Really funny and informative. From the researchers of QI.

For crime, In the Dark. The first one covers a child murder so if not for you go to second series, very eye opening about the American justice system.
L

I love Casefile. Really thorough true crime investigations. I'm hooked.

You're Dead to Me, BBC Sounds, a comic historical podcast.
Go Wild, also BBC sounds, nature documentaries
Wilderness Tracks from the Timber festival, interviews with different people and their music choices

Comedy / Satire are my main podcasts.

Three Bean Salad as mentioned above.
St Elwick’s Neighbourhood Association Newsletter Podcast and The Beef and Dairy Network Podcast are both brilliant buy the same group they do the Three Bean Salad podcasts. They fall under satire but are very very funny, just be prepared for the weirdness.

The Froth, with Rhod Gilbert and his wife Asian Harris. Not had new episodes for a while though which is sad. I hope they make more.

The Horne Section Podcast if you like musical comedy.

The Office Ladies if you’re a fan of the American office, it’s brilliant and lots of bts info.

Sian Harris not Asian Harris

Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell. Or in fact anything he does.

Classic Ghost Stories with Tony Walker. Just nicely read ghost stories.

The Trojan Horse Affair

Trashy Divorces
Real Dictators
Hollywood Crime Scene
Murder Most Irish
Sinisterhood
Red handed
Uncanny
Heavyweight
Finding Cleo
Ballad of Bobby Balls

My faves which haven't been mentioned are;

Changes with Annie Mac
Seeing Red
Let's not meet
Someone knows something
The Vanished
Table Manners
My Dad wrote a porno.
