Which podcasts do you listen to

[way2serious]

Am trying to get into listening to podcasts and wondered what people listen to and would recommend

Lives less ordinary

Lucy Worsley, Lady Killers and Lady Swindlers

Uncanny

Anything with Hannah Fry

Thanks again everyone. My list is growing longer of ones to explore!!

Stuff you Should know
Better Offline

These are great. Any more suggestions for me to look into?

Regular listening mostly, some depend on the guest etc:
Parenting Hell
Taskmaster
Off Menu
Sentimental Garbage
Eyes On Gilead (Handmaid's Tale podcast, but this has finished now the series has ended)
Above The Garage (Handmaid's Tale, as above)
Table Manners

If you like true crime the The Prosecutors, Anatomy of Murder and Dateline NBC.

I listen to lots of the above, although have gone off Off Menu lately.

My current favourites are What did you do yesterday? Absolute antidote to everyday life presented by Max Rushden and David O'Doherty, who seem lovely men.

Also Three Bean Salad, it takes a few episodes to get your ear in, but it has had me really crying with laughter at times.

Chris Skinner's Countryside Podcast.
Crime and Coffee Couple.

All the right movies
Something about The Beatles
We didn’t start the fire

Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud
Louis Theroux
Adam Buxton
Dish
Young Again with Kirsty Young

Triggernometry
Spiked
Unherd
The rest is History
You’re dead to me
Off menu - depends who’s on though
Mother, Maiden, Matriarch
The Moral Maze
Joe Rogan
Lady Killers with Lucy Worsley
Any podcast with Jordan Peterson or Helen Joyce on.

I've just had a look at the History of English on Spotify and it looks fascinating. Definitely going to give that a try.

My perennial go-to is the Rest is History. Love Tom and Dominic's banter and learning about random bits of history.

Help I sexted my boss

I love song exploder - my favourite recent eps are kiss from a rose by seal, and still the one by Shania twain (listened at least 3 times to these)

Pop Culture Happy Hour (love to hear their takes on whatever programmes/films/series I've seen)

The Tarot Diagnosis - 2 psychotherapists talk about tarot

David Runciman Talking Politics - now discontinued- especially enjoyed the episode on is trump a fascist

The spark by Helen Lewis - episode on Karen Stenner's the authoritarian gene slightly changed my life. Understanding "citizens of somewhere" vs. "Citizens of nowhere"

As you can see, a real mixed bag

Oh, I love MMM but feel its a bit controversial! Some of them bore me but I enjoyed "the religious awakening of gen z"

I really enjoyed parenting hell until recently. Now I find it very ‘we’re real and honest about being rich and well known’

I like Murder with my husband and off menu

I love this podcast, so funny 😁

Weird Studies (probably my favourite of all time)
Scarred for Life
Blocked and Reported
Mysterious Universe
In Our Time
Sounds Like a Cult

The Ramsey show (on the Ramsey app)
cults to consciousness (podcast app)
Drama on 4 (bbc)
