There's one on Spotify called Wine drunk and Weird. It's a couple of young women getting drunk whilst discussing serial killers. Weirdly amusing yet disturbing!

What kind of things are you into OP?

@NW2SW I don't know, not had a "life" for so long lol used to enjoy celeb gossip but it's worn seriously off following various suicides I just don't have the interest any more

I enjoy soaps, nature, music, musicals, wildlife, walking, nature stuff like that really

Celebrity wise Fearn Cotton podcast is highly recommended, not my cup of tea but it's not bad. And If you're foodie then Table Manners by Jessie Ware is good, recorded with her mum (who's hilarious) where they cook for a celeb - I'd start with an early series though as the current episodes are different due to the pandemics. Also So Lucky by Dawn O'Porter.

The BBC Sounds app has some great ones, they also have abridged audio books available for free. BBC Earth and BBC Outlook are short 30 min podcasts on really interesting topics.

A couple I've loved recently are: Dying for sex, Dolly Partons America, The Missing Crypto Queen and Family Secrets. They're more like a one off story than an ongoing podcast.
