Posting for traffic. Can I get your podcast recommendations. I’ve been listening to true crime podcasts like Someone knows something, Serial and s.town. But need something a bit more lighthearted

So Lucky with Dawn O'Porter
The Guilty Feminist
Happy Place Fearne Cotton

Steve Allen LBC

• Scummy mummies Films to be buried with Hoovering White wine question time Made of human Mrs bright side Adam Buxton Griefcast Desert island dicks*

@Cocoayoghurt - that last one on your list looks interesting

I quite enjoy Jessie Ware’s (and her mum) Table Manners too.

Shagged, married, annoyed is my favourite! Love it! had me crying laughing at the gym the other other day

Also "the secret world of slimming clubs" is good if you go or have been to slimming world/weightwatchers before!

Serial.
If you are into films, or have run out of things to watch on Netflix, then We Watch Anything is good - funny chat and film reviews.

Blood ties
Ear hustle
Emma and Anna have issues
Comedy of the week from radio 4

The two shot podcast! Hosted by Craig Parkinson (Dot in Line of Duty). He has conversations with a range of people (originally mainly actors, but now chefs, poets etc). You don't need to listen in an order. He has such a therapeutic voice.

The Horne Section Podcast - silly musical comedy podcast with guests
Adam Buxton - funny but with a good range of guests
Oh Lord Won’t You Buy Me A Podcast - funny podcast about adverts
Off Menu - funny food podcast
All Killa No Filla - funny murder podcast

Athletics Mince definitely. I detest football, so as a pp said, don't let that put you off.

Off Menu. Some eps are better than others, but you can pick which comedians you like and just listen to those.

Kermode and Mayo’s film review (I’m an Vltl, hello to Jason etc ). By the book; You’re dead to me; The curious cases of Rutherford and Fry, A slob comes clean, Clutterbug.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Rosie Ramsay from SMA was on here actually 🤔 she seems like an mn type!

Thanks for these!

So glad All Killa no Filla has been mentioned so many times! It really is great.
My Favourite Murder is fab too.

Redhanded
They walk among us
In our time
Teacher's Pet
Stuff you should know

Oh I LOVE the Horne section podcast. Brilliant.

Not light hearted at all but if you liked serial, "Untold: The Daniel Morgan Murder"is much better

Also Dr. Death is incredible

Casefile
Generation Why
Missing Maura Murray
True crime brewery
Teachers pet
The vanished
Locked up abroad

Who the hell is Hamish
Unconcluded
Missing Richard Simmons
The shrink next door
Dirty John
Broken Harts

There are so many great podcasts - I’m a total addict

Much as I love All Killa No Filla it is practically 90% filler! I don't actually learn much about serial killers from it which can be unbelievably frustrating at times so I just go off and google the killers instead. I realise that makes me sound weird.

They walk among us is very thorough and often about cases that aren't overly well known. The narrator's voice is an acquired taste , however.

99% invisible is a podcast about design and architecture but it's a bit more tangential than that. Has covered fascinating subjects in the past.

Evil Genius with Russell Kane where comedians discuss if a popular ( usually dead) figure was Evil or a Genius

An hour or so with Sue Perkins - lovely chat.

Do the right thing - silly panel game

Something rhymes with purple - Susie Dent and Gyles Brandreth talk about language.

The Guardian Today in Focus podcast covers topical news issues in more depth

Distraction Pieces with Scroobius Pip - more left field guests but fascinating chat.

Plus yes to Athletico Mince, Off Menu and RHLSTP!

I like Those Conspiracy Guys. They tackle true crime and other conspiracies but are really funny about it. It’s a bit dark at times though

Inside if you Michael Rosenbaum
Revisionist History Malcolm Gladwell
Cautionary Tales
Kermode and Mayo’s film review
Anything from chipperish media depending on your tv/movie taste.
David Tennant does a podcast with....

I’m five episodes in to The Crypto Queen so thanks to all that recommended that. Will look forward to working through some of the others listed

Ooh, ooh, I forgot one - Great Lives from Radio 4! You hear about all sorts of unsung/forgotten people, as well as learning about people you thought you knew. Doesn't need to be listened to in any order, you just pick whichever seems interesting.

Dear Joan and Jericha is very funny but very dark humour. I love it!

Ooo so many interesting sounding suggestion - I've only listened to True Crime ones so not really light hearted but my favourites are In the Dark (especially season 2) and Cold

Shagged, Married, Annoyed

The Teachers Pet
