Favourite BBC Sounds programmes

[MyFamilyAndOtherAnimals1]

I'm loving...

'Fortunately... with Fi and Jane' - it's like a really, really good & light-hearted woman's hour

'Bad People' - I don't normally like murder things - but this just gripped me!

Other suggestions welcome, please!

I enjoy More or Less very much

Love fi and Jane so I listened to your bad people recommendation. Thank you for that!

Are you limited to bbc or any podcasts?

Thanks will try that. I like Breaking the News Radio Scotland comedy show.

I really liked Shreds. It's the true story of the Cardiff Five, a miscarriage of justice case. The story goes into details such as explaining why someone might confess to a murder they didn't commit.

More Or Less
John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme
Repeats of Linda Smith’s Brief History of Timewasting
Agatha Christie dramatisations
Charles Paris
The Pallisters
Newscast
Americast

I also enjoy the news quiz on Friday night comedy and the unbelievable truth

Drama
Charlotte and Lillian made me laugh

Evil genius and you're dead to me can be good
Fake heiress

And all of the above!

The Media Show has fascinating interviews with the heads of Youtube and Spotify.

I also enjoyed the how to build a country series

Up the Garden Path with Imelda Staunton laughed out loud when I was baking this afternoon oh and Broken English a thriller about a family who have relocated to France and their 16 year old son goes missing. Absolutely gripping

Elis James & John Robins.

Funny, daft at times, intelligent & warm, all wrapped up into an hour and a half-ish.

Oh I love a good podcast recommendation and I've been addicted to them while on furlough and WFH.

I like many of the above and will try some of the recommendations too.

I like File of 4 for some interesting news investigations. Witness History and some of the World Service Podcasts are really interesting.

If you're not limited to BBC Sounds I also like Even The Rich, and Morbid and Obsessed with True Crime, oh and Redhanded, thats another good one :)

I'm working my way through all the You're Dead to Me history programmes. They are excellent.

As well as many already mentioned I like The Interrogation.

I like newscast too. For comedy/drama I often listen to one of the five "where this service will..." depart, terminate etc.

Another vote for More or Less.

I should give Americast a try.

There was another drama i loved about tunneling under the Berlin wall, tunnel 39 maybe?

I like
Natalie Haynes Stands up for the Classics
The Museum of Curiosity
You're Dead to me
A Trespassers Guide to the Classics

There are more but my Friday night brain can't remember them.

Listening to East meets West on Radio 4 at the moment. Just brilliant. Warm, soothing, educational and comforting. Perfect for right now.

Loads of Desert island discs.
Chain reaction
Believe it (still not convinced it's not real - it's a fictional autobiography of Richard read by Richard Wilson)
Endell Street
Sorry I haven't a clue
David Baddiel tries to understand
Grounded by Louis Theroux

And if not limited to BBC - Talking Derry Girls.

Powerplant I've just listened to Broken English. Thanks for that!

Only recently discovered Fortunately, so am catching up on old episodes. Listened to the Winter Vagina one with Vicki Pepperdine while painting skirting boards, my family were bemused by my chortling.

Also listen to :

Infinite Monkey Cage
News Quiz
Fighting Talk
Unbelievable Truth
I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue
Just a Minute

I love David Sedaris, More or Less, Dead to Me (hosted by writer of Horible Histories), Last Word and now addicted to anything Line of Duty related so I sub to Obsessed with LoD hosted by the actor who played Dot Cotton

Another vote for More or Less and Tim Harford's other programme "how to vaccinate the world". Also I like The Patch and The Untold. I often enjoy the dramas and book adaptations. A Good Read is another programme I quite often listen to.

I would really recommend the Northern Bank Job that is on at lunchtimes the moment and the 2 week dramatisation of "Meet me at the Museum" which finished a week or two ago as well, but is still on BBC sounds and is a really lovely story.

I've just listened to the latest series by David Sedaris. The first time I ever heard him in the radio I had to pull over as I was laughing so much.
