What's the best podcast you've listened to?

[sprigatito]

I'll start: Natalie Haynes Stands Up For The Classics. Hilariously funny and I've learned so much, she's brilliant.

Anyone been so impressed with a podcast they'd like to recommend it?

I love The Rest is History.

I also love that one! And Not Just The Tudors

Lady Killers

The history of Rome

You’re dead to me and Lady Killers

Some of my list:
Dressed - The history of fashion
Q with Tom Power - Canadian entertainment. Tom does a good interview and really gets people talking, although sometimes the guests are a bit obscure.
Wiser Than Me - Julia Louis Dreyfuss (Elaine from Seinfeld) interviews a mostly older crowd of wise women.
History Extra - even though I'm not from UK

I don't like true crime podcasts, and mostly listen at night when I'm drifting off, so need light and entertaining.

Fall of Civilisations.

The Rest is History. I also like Casefile.

Alan Partridge - From the Oasthouse

In Moscow’s Shadow by Mark Galleoti, though it does get quiet obscure

Quite obscure

Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth. Some very interesting interviewees and they are encouraged to try and recall first memories - very interesting.

Ooh, I haven't heard of some of these...am going to make a list 😊

I agree Lady Killers is fabulous.

I like Cautionary Tales by Tim Harford.

Valuable lessons in human psychology and mistakes people have made, especially with cognitive biases.

Morbid
Our true crime podcast
Dark paranormal

I like The Rest is Entertainment with Marina Hyde and Richard Osman.

@sprigatito what classics please

Where there’s a will, there’s a wake.

Very very funny.

@Netaporter perhaps obvious but what is the topic

Watch what crappens
True crime obsessed
Where there's a will there's a wake
Everyone has an ex

Me too. It’s very good.
Also The last Archive, Jill Lepore

Dish, although it makes me hungry.

Each episode she focuses on either a mythical or a historical figure from Ancient Greece or Rome. My favourite episodes are Sappho and Ovid.

@Mischance that looks brilliant thanks

Three bean salad. Waffly nonsense but so very funny and entertaining. It's my favourite.

My other top ones are: Help I sexted my boss and Off Menu.

I love radio show podcasts, just a round up of all the talky bits without music; Johnny Vaughn Radio X, Jason Manford Absolute Radio, Ed Gamble & Matthew Crosby Radio X are my go to every week.

I listen to podcasts all week at work, they keep me company whilst I wfh. Like earwigging conversation in the office.
