Podcast recommendations please!

[Emcont]

Posting here for traffic, sorry!

I’ve just started a new job where I can pretty much put my headphones in and get on with it. A bit bored of music, so looking for podcast recommendations.

Open to anything really. Thanks!

Crime profile and crime analyst - both featuring Laura Richards who set up Paladin, the anti stalking agency. She analyses famous crime cases. Really interesting.

Casefile
You're wrong about
Maintenance Phase
Swindled
Rusty Hinges
LeVar Burton Reads

You’re dead to me (history podcast, hosted by Greg Jenner who did horrible histories, usually has expert on that weeks topic plus a comedian)

Off menu (hosted by comedians Ed Gamble & James Acaster)

The Curious Cases of Rutherford and Fry (science podcast)

Ancient History Fangirl (FYI this one can be quite sweary , in case that’s something you’d want to avoid!)

I also listen to Office Ladies hosted by Jenna Fischer & Angela Kinsey (Pam & Angela from the US version of The Office), they discuss an episode of The Office US version each week, in order. But I guess you’d need to be a fan of the TV show to enjoy that one

I’ve listened to case file so much I almost think in a low Australian male voice

Should also have mentioned the Stuff You Should Know podcast !

Another vote for Parenting Hell, it was my first podcast and still my favourite. Sometimes I go back and listen to bits (Jimmy Chipolata comes to mind!) and cry laughing all over again. The guests are always great but the episodes where Rob & Josh are just chatting are my favourites.

I also listen to Life's a Beach, My Mate Bought A Toaster, Seven Pillars and the Taskmaster podcast (but you have to watch it, obviously!).

Surprised no one has mentioned No Holes Barred.

I genuinely lol at this. It is the highlight of my week.

How has no one mentioned Off Menu yet?!?

I love George the Poet's podcast
www.georgethepoet.com/podcast-library

Probably not what he was going for, but his voice is amazingly soporific (they are really interesting if you stay awake too)

Also The Guilty Feminist.
And DoGoOn.
And Book Cheat.

Adam Buxton
Louis theroux
Dear Joan and jericha
The secret world of slimming clubs
Behind the bastards

Following

As above the lady vanishes , it's so sad that she just dissapeared without explanation.
The trail went cold
resolved mysteries
Criminal
Casefile
Dirty john
Dr death

Off Menu - James Acaster & Ed Gamble ask their guests about their dream meal. Very funny.

RHLSTP! Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast.

All Killa No Filla

If you watch Taskmaster, the podcast is great.

Athletico Mince with Bob Mortimer. In theory it’s about football, but it’s not really, it’s just really funny and silly

True Crime Obsessed! It is a true crime documentary recap podcast.

All Killa No Filla- Kiri Pritchard McLean and Rachel Fairburn
Off Menue-Ed Gamble/James Acaster
Out to Lunch-Jay Rayner
Adam Buxton
How to Fail-Elizabeth Day

More serious ones
Who the Hell is Hamish?

Ooh I don't know the last two but I LOVE the others (I love Mike and Sarah so much)

I love interview/chat style podcasts and have been enjoying The Cultural Coven. Interviews with people in Scottish arts and culture like Sam Heughan from Outlander, Alan Cumming and Elaine C Smith, with lots of laughs too.

Also second Adam Buxton, How to Fail, Dr Death and Dirty John (the Netflix series of that is amazing too)

Drunk Women Solving Crimes
Serial
Parenting Hell
Telling Everybody Everything- Katherine Ryan
The Guilty Feminist
James Acasters Perfect Sounds (if you're a bit of a music geek like me)
Films to be Buried With- Brett Goldstein
My Dad Wrote a Porno
Hip Hop Saved my Life- Romesh Ranganathan (only of interest to hip hop fans obviously)
