BBC Sounds podcast suggestions

[Givemethesworrrrd]

I've recently starting listening to podcasts (I know, a bit late to the party) but I was wondering if anyone has some suggestions on what to listen to.
I have recently listened to:

The great post office trial
Witchhunt
Mythical creatures
The Shamima Begum story
A few of the Our Times episodes
Uncanny

It's a bit of a mish mash selection so open to any suggestions! 🙂

Yeti
Pieces of Britney
The Kitchen Cabinet
A very British Cult
Lazarus Heist
Fake Heiress

November dead list 2 series - need to listen in order
This thing of darkness - first two were excellent imo

Not sure if it's been mentioned but Paradise is brilliant and very moving

Million dollar lover is good, about an elderly women and a man in his fifties who becomes her boyfriend.

Things fell apart for origins of culture wars

All my faves! I've got brain-fog, so don't remember all the names

And Natalie Haynes "stand up for the classics" very engaging & amusing - delves into social & relationship history

@Mother87 let me know of any others you like, as we clearly have similar taste in podcasts and I'm always on the lookout for new discoveries

Will do! And vice versa please

Chasing Charlie
I am not a monster

Help I sexted my boss , you'll piss yourself so funny, you can watch it on YouTube as well if you want the the Jordan eye candy lol 😂

I'll never get to sleep now! Just thought I'd have a "quick" listen to Life Changing : Harriet - What I did next
Sad/fascinating - the original "event" & the aftermath several years later...

And Atul Gawande - Ice Girl or The Girl Who Fell Through The Ice
Utterly compelling! His account of trying to save a life. This came on the radio several years ago when I was driving to an appointment. HAD to stop the car & listen to the end

Murder they Wrote is good, Laura and Iain (with two i's) are a excellent duo.

The crimes are generally historical, and not always a murder. I binged to catch up and now have to wait for a new one.

I use RadioNet if people are looking for suggestions of a podcast app. I downloaded what I want to listen to and then listen in the car. The auto playing the next episode can be a bit temperamental though.

I wanted to listen to that, but her voice went through me and so I had to give up.

Thank you! I'll look the Atul Gawande one up - was it a Reith lecture?

Another one I loved was The Gift, about people whose lives changed forever after taking a DNA test.

Have you listened to Patricia Wiltshire on The Life Scientific? Extraordinary and riveting.

@Turkeyhen
Possibly a Reith Lecture - I know he did a couple
LOVE The Life Scientific & Jim Alkalele (sp?) is so warm/gentle with everyone - I'll check if I've heard that one
And the numbers/facts one More or Less (sorry if already mentioned)

@Turkeyhen and any debates with Michael Sandel with his moral dilemmas & ethical conundrums - the way some of the audience answer SO confidently, until he unpicks everything & they "realise" they don't really really know how they'd react at all. It's fascinating listening to people "shift"
(sorry if I'm replying wrongly with @ - not sure how it works sometimes - on opioids/heavy drugs following surgery & got this brain-fog/cognitive-battering going on)

@Mother87 so sorry to hear that, I hope you make a speedy recovery

Agree about More or Less, always so interesting, and Michael Sandel (and I'm fairly sure I haven't listened to all of his programmes so thank you for the reminder).

@MeMerylSqueak Thank you so much for your recommendation. I have been listening to Sneakernomics and it's SO interesting! I am now completely fascinated by Adidas and Puma story! I had no interest in trainer brands before.

You're welcome. I was blown away by all the tactics they used against each other.
