Suggest to me some podcasts!

[LemonysSnicket]

Hi,
I'm looking to find some more podcasts to listen to - I enjoy the TedX ones but struggle to find any others.
I'm 23 but have a wide range of interests- mostly books, cooking, history, sewing or crafts but some fashion and beauty too.

Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks

Hi LemonysSnicket. I love history podcasts out of that list. Dan Snow does 'History Hit' on a whole range of topics with interviews. I really enjoy them. Everyone raves about Dan Carlin 'Hardcore History', but I didn't like it. He has a voice that sounds like the Carlsberg ad, it puts me off! I really enjoy Malcolm Gladwell's 'Revisionist History' but there more a range of modern topics rather than straight history. The BBC has a lot if you search by topic. They did "The Assassination" about the killing of Benazir Bhutto, which was excellent and I'm going to download 'The Ratline' because it was in The Times podcast section today.

oooh love a good podcast; listen to them more than music nowadays ...

Fortunately - with Jane Garvey (of Woman's Hour) & Fi Glover (Radio 4/Journalist). This makes me laugh out loud ...

Radio 4 - Woman's Hour - no explanation needed really.

Radio 4 - Archers Omnibus - likewise! Good distraction when I'm cleaning the house!

Couples Therapy - with Candice and Casey. Easy listening once you get past the very American approach to it.

BBC World Service - Death in Ice Valley - the ongoing investigation of an unidentified body in Norway

And second Little Lebowski's recommendation of the Assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

Although technically a 'design' podcast, I would recommend 99% Invisible as it covers a broad range of subjects and is by far my favourite podcast.

I've just discovered Seriously by the bbc. Documentaries on any and everything.

Theres a world book club from bbc. Also In our time which is history.

I had a thread earlier in the year - I think its called useful guadian suggestions - eith lots recommendations and suggestions of similar podcasts.

Oh and The adoption again from bbc was really bloody good!

And I second the ratline suggestion.

I listen to podcasts quite a lot and there are loads available now. V much depends on what you like. My favourites are:
Remainiacs, the New Statesman and the Guardian's Politics Weekly for politics/news/Brexit.

BBC world service The Documentary

Friday Night Comedy from BBC4

The ones I save up and look forward to the most are This American Life - a radio show about real peoples' life stories using a specific theme. They're brilliant podcasts.

And finally...Serial. This is a sister show to This American Life and is equally brilliant. Season 3 is just released but start off with Season 1 - it is GRIPPING!!!

The New York Times 'Caliphate' podcast - 11 really interesting episodes.

I love The Joe Rogan Experience too, such a range of guests and so many podcasts you can easily find something. I can particularly recommend his episode with Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein.

In our house we listen to some podcasts as a family.

History Storytime is great. Stories from history told by a DD and DH. This is a must listen as it has songs and music too and is fun.

Brains On. It’s a science one for kids and families. American but good.

Guardian Children Book. Children’s authors answering questions from children.

If you would like something lighter, The High Low is good as is Table Manners and Desert Island Dishes.
I also really like Criminal, S Town, True Crime all the Time, They walk Among Us, Dr Death and The Bowery Boys.

There are so many brilliant audio dramas out there....and you can even do them yourself! If you have the time and inclination...jump on The Audio Drama Production Podcast and there are loads of great eps there. MADIVA podcast talks about how to get set up and going as a voice actor....and there’s even a convention to go to next week - feb 2nd that has some live performances (Orphans, We fix space junk, no sleep and more) and some workshops.

Podcasting never had it so Good!
