Topic: What Podcasts do you listen to?

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

The rest is politics
The News agents
The New Statesmen
The nudge
Origin Story
The new conspiracist

It’s good to compare Maitlis and Sopel with BBC political coverage, and also to hear their views on the BBC too.

[AndyInVA]

Any of the Tortoise podcasts.

Bit slow going for me.

[Crosby Nick]

Coincidently I've just seen a TV equivalent called In the Clubhouse on BT Sport. Really enjoyed it.  Cheers

What did you make of the pod Kenny? Just done a first one with Sam Warburton that’s a really good listen.

[The G in Gerrard]

I only listen to smart less. Is there anything similar around?

just seen this;
Part 2 dropped today, so will give both a listen tomorrow morning

Could not get into that at all. Holly wood luvvies crapping on with their friends was my summation of it. It is pretty light and I'm sure its perfect for certain times of day.

Just got in to the Newsagents

Really good to get long form answers from smart people on a topic of the day and sit in on their discussion of it. It is not truly hard journalism as they all just waffle on about how they feel about it. Makes it a bit easier to listen to than a more dedicated hard news show.

Jermain Defoes 'Outside the Lines' on BBC Sounds

I listened to most of it when I was back in England as it doesn't seem available outside the UK.

Pretty infectious energetic guy and his journey to want to be manager. Entertaining listening

It is abit like that & they love everything their guests have done but the three are amusing talking between themselves.

Fuck - I knew there were question marks about his Father, but didn't know he was a complete wrong 'un

[Elmo!]

Heard the Pod Save America guys were launching a Pod Save The UK podcast, and thought that soounds great, then found out Nish Kumar is one of the presenters. Still, could be worth a listen.

I set up.an iPlayer account using my mum's address years ago, and yes obviously I pay for my tv license 

Then just connect to a UK server on atlasvpn and I'm in.

[Kenny's Jacket]

I’ve listened to a couple. It’s produced by Marketplace in the US who make good quality. First one I listened was a young married couple with low wages who then get 100k awarded from
An accident one of them was in years earlier. Not surprisingly they through it. Surprisingly they stay married, with through the issues and end up ok.

Next one I listened to was Fin Subs. Quite a different tack. Guys who want to feel humiliated and degraded by sending money to total strangers on the net. Apparently it’s a thing.

[John C]

Ah, thanks Andy

[AndyInVA]

Ah, thanks Andy

I’m really drawn to podcasts that educate me about people’s thoughts, cultures or lifestyles I know nothing about. Fin subs (Finanacial submissive) being a new one to me. I also like the Dopey podcast. It’s by a guy who is an ex booze and pill addict. His guests are all ex addicts from one thing or another. Hearing how other people live their lives is amazing to me.

Started listening to "The Villain Was Right" where it's from the perspective that the villain in a movie was morally right.  Enjoying it so far.

Adolf Hitler: Rise & Downfall

Narrated by Paul McGann so you know its a serious documentary. But genuinely fascinating, with academic talking heads delving into the psychological and sociological aspects that contributed to a loner nutcase becoming the most fearsome dictator ever.

Mcgann narrated these Dictator episodes, the Mao one was excellent

I don't think anyone has mentioned The Rest is Football yet?
Most people might baulk at listening to Lineaker, Shearer & Richards on a pod, but I must admit I've enjoyed most episodes so far.

Yeah, it's good, been some good funny stories. I was walking the dog listening to the one where Micah told the story about asking Balotelli for some Italian to impress the new boss, must've looked like a lunatic

  thats was a cracker.
And loads of others.
It's nothing like I imagined, really decent listen twice a week. And they're not ignoring any issues that arise in a game.

[The G in Gerrard]

Not been going for walks so stopped listening to any podcasts for a while now. Looks like Linekar one is best of new one's around?

Lineker owns the rest is history, the rest is politics, the rest is money, the rest is football and we have ways of making you talk.


He’s the podcast godfather

[Kenny's Jacket]

I gave that one with Osborne and Balls a listen, absolute Shite, when discussing the Chinese spy in westminster story they even managed the obvious racist joke you’d expect from jeremy clarkson

[Ray K]

Not a podcast I listen to all that much, but the Desert Island Discs with Adrian Edmondson is brilliant - funny and heartbreaking and beautiful.
