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?

Interested to read Frank Skinner is doing a podcast now, thanks.

Casefile
Rosebud

hmmm! I wonder what I said that flagged the censor button

I'm going to look at some of these. When you all try a new one do you start from the latest episode or try and go back to the beginning?

I always start at the beginning.

True crime- my favourite is Real by Naomi Channel. Especially like the ones that she's made series on such as Stuart Lubbock.

Also all killa no filla for serial killer chat with random chat.

Casefile is excellent

All Danny Robins ones - Uncanny, Witch Farm, Battersea Poltergeist.
Mark Steele's in Town - hilarious!

World Of Wisdom from BBC world service
10% Happier - Dan Harris

Both spiritual/mindful if you like that kind of thing.

Where Are You Going? I absolutely love this podcast - sorry if someone's already mentioned it. Interviewer asks random people where they are going and hears their stories.

It depends on the podcast. The ones discussing current affairs/politics etc won’t make much sense if you go back to the first episode but others that are serialised or just stand alone episodes on certain topics can be listened to from the start/in any order.

For the true crime fans I highly recommend Real Crime Profile and Crime Analyst. Both feature Laura Richards, an ex-Scotland Yard criminal psychologist now living in LA. She’s very female focussed as she’s now a huge advocate on matters around stalking, domestic violence, etc.

Real Crime Profile did some amazing deep dives into high profile cases in its earlier years so they are definitely worth going back to listen to.

Crime Analyst looks good, thanks for that.

I love listening to the ABC Australia Conversations podcast. Lots of varied topics and interesting people.

Shedunnit’s kept me entertained all morning during some boring data entry. Thank you @SqueakyDinosaur!

I recommend Scamanda about a US woman who fakes having cancer and how she deceived folk to donate money to fund her living expenses.

Also The Disciples about the cult of Nigerian pastor TB Joshua.

A little (a lot) biased here but give Talk2TheHand podcast a listen. Each episode focuses on something 90s related, could be TV shows, pop groups, celebrities, news events… as long as it’s 90s, it’s in. This weeks episode was Elderado, about as 90s as you could get.

I kind of agree. Laura Richards is so impressive. It I had to stop listening to the
Crime Analyst as it's incredibly repetitive. Serious editing needed.

I would say Subterraneans. One of the best things I've discovered in lockdown. Well worth a listen and reels you in. Guy is very talented who writes and performs them.

Heretics
conflicted (community sub is fascinating) hosted by a former al-qeda member and a Christian fundie.
red handed

Ooh I love Rockenteurs too. I will give Off the Beat and Track a go too.

I liked Blood on the Tracks but don't think they've made any recently.

The Rest is Politics. Very interesting hearing Rory and Alastair’s views on the current state and also their take on world politics.

Nothing will ever beat the first series of Serial

My commuting entertainment consists of

Luanna the podcast
Happy Mum Happy Baby
The Happy Place
Bang to Roghts with Emma Kenny
The Overshare (waiting for series 2 now).

Yes I love this too

Like a PP
I like help I sexted my boss

I want to like the rest is entertainment but Marina Hyde irritates the fuck out of me. She constantly talks as if she only has five minutes to get out an hours worth of content 😭. She gets faster and faster as it goes on,to the point where she starts rising out of her chair 😂
