Yeah, I've subscribed now, went back to 2018 and listened to the Dave Courtney one and a couple of others. The Charles Bronson son one is highly recommended :)

Will give the Dave Courtney one a whirl, I recall watching an interview with him & Carlton Leach once. Where Dave said he never paid his phone bill for years & wasn’t cut off due to the police listening to his call’s.

Adam Lallana on the Super 6 podcast today. I'm only half way through but it's a decent listen. He certainly appreciated playing for us.

Here's a few podcasts people may be interested in from the last week or so.

Alan Carr had Tom Jones on his podcast last week, good little listen.
https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s1-ep12-tom-jones/id1550998864?i=1000517669111

'Straight from the off' is about the local Liverpool amateur football scene - this weeks its with Rickie Lambert. It's thoroughly enjoyable, absolutely loved it.

(I'll mention more about this as we get closer to the Euro's)

Jamie Carragher has Xabi Alonso on his podcast this week - excellent.

The Darknet Diaries episode from 13th Apr (last but one) was about a women from Liverpool who got into physical pen-testing before it was really an actual recognised profession. THought some on here might find it interesting if you're a bit nerdy and into that sort of thing.

Socially Distanced Sports Bar is very good - funny but also meaty discussions about various sports and personalities. Each episode is about 2.5hrs long so it’s a bit of a commitment.

Bit of a latecomer to Socially Distanced Sports Bar. Fantastic stuff, with a great balance between insightful sports chat and comedy. I was a couple of years ahead of Bubbins at university, and it takes me back to a brilliant time. Cardiff in the early 90's was amazing.
Do you listen to Elis James and John Robins? Also excellent

I love Darknet Diaries. I find it totally fascinating and am looking forward to when something comes out on the Colonial pipeline which has just shut down all petrol supply in my area.

The one  with the Liverpool lady is completely brilliant and I wonder if either her or her cousins are on here. She seemed incredible and truly knew what her skill in life is. I did wonder if the politicians office on the 8th floor of a waterfront building would be the Liver building.

Is that with Mike Bubbins? Have heard him on a few of Colin Murray’s shows and he’s always good value.

Yes, that's the one. Bubbins is great value...for a former teacher  ;D

They also know their sport and get stuck into issues and historical stuff. Very funny.

Listened to the back catalogue of "The Age of Napoleon" and really enjoyed it to date.  As someone who is not well read on the period I've enjoyed the exposition provided around the revolution too.

Just found

I Spy

Interviews with former intelligence people. I have only listened to one so far about undercover in NI. It's mind bending. Currently have way into second of a US DEA undercover in Columbia.

Cheers for this recommendation Andy, just listened to the NI episode this morning. Loved the guy's voice. The mafia-esque scene where he's summoned to a late night meeting and thinks he's going to get killed, jesus.

I went on a weird binge of reading everything I could about the Troubles a few years back, it is fascinating stuff. Now I want more on that topic  ;D

I've also downloaded that Aussie crime one Andy recommended and the first few of these:

Couple of good ones,
Ecstasy, The battle of rave. Quite, dare I say, gritty for the BBC.
Blindspot, road to 9-11. Well crafted overview of the development of terror cells from the 80's onwards.

You may eagerly await my review. Need to get back in the podcast game now I'm driving to work again  :'(

Paul Chowdhury does some good interview podcasts with some good comedians/actors. Worth checking a few out if you're into any of them - Ash Atalla and Stewart Lee being 2 of them.

I’d recommend the legit podcast with Andy Grant. Does a sportscast on a Friday & another on a Monday that can be on absolutely anything. Had a good one with a criminologist about county lines a few weeks back, also had Mark McVeigh, Les Jackson & Mark King.

I’ve listened to podcasts for years and it’s a shame commercialism has well and truly invaded podcast land with just about every pod having several ad breaks throughout.

A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs

a fascinating, in-depth analysis of significant songs - familiar and fairly obscure  - that have shaped popular music..looks at not just the songs but the artists and their socio-cultural context....if you enjoyed Stuart Maconie's magnificent R2 series 'The People's Songs'...you'll probably love this

Shaun Atwood podcasts are pretty good, he has them on Youtube as well.

He's from Widnes, and ended up in Phoenix Arizona and was biggest Ecstasy dealer in South West USA, he had protection from a Mexican cartel he did business with, he also had a run in with John Gotti's henchman Sammy "The Bull" Gravano who wanted to take over his business by any means.

His podcasts are really interesting, done quite a few with some infamous Liverpool names, and had famous mafia types being interviewed, he recently did one with a Psychologist who worked with some horrible killers in the prison system, some of the stories were grim.

his guests are quite varied, not only criminal element, he gets some really interesting guests on.

I usually have to force myself to listen to some of them, e.g. Bellew, Schmeichel and Phil Neville, but actually I end up enjoying most of them. I thought Phil Neville sounded like a proper decent bloke when I listened to that one - something I had previously not considered possible ;D. Clattenburg was really good. I enjoyed the Joe Cole one more than I thought and it gave me a different perspective on his time at Liverpool.

The only ones I've thought were a bit rubbish were Zaha and Defoe. Tim Cahill is the only one I've not been able to bring myself to listen to ;D.

My subs for the past few years have been:

Sam Harris - Making Sense
Jim Cornette Wrestling podcasts
Bill Burr - Monday Morning Podcast
Philosophize This
Sean Carroll's - Mindscape
Scott Barry Kaufman's - The Psycology Podcast
Marc Maron - WTF

I like to mix it up between trash talk/comedy and sciency/psycology podcasts. Any of the sciency ones, sometimes there's a podcast that will fundementally change the way I see things (Making Sense has the had the majority of these) but a lot of the Mindscape podcasts go right over my head and are better as sleep assistants. I have a lot of moments listening thinking why am I wasting my time for, this has no relevance to my life and never will.

Fucking hell I've discovered this music podcast during the week they're cancelling it after 10 years and they're up to vol 787  :duh

https://kexp.org/podcasts/weekly-mix/

I've listened to 4 or 5 of the most recent ones and they're a superb mix of unusual fresh beats (US based).

FML why didn't anybody recommend it. I could have smashed loads of these over the last 18 months.

Just ended. Excellent podcast about The Fall organised by the Hanley brothers. 12 hourly parts. Very DIY - 1 show was unlistenable to but a great series.
