love all of these!
You would like the Slow News podcast, loads of one off shorter investigations from the same journalists who made hoaxed etc.

I'm currently listening to The Trojan Horse Affair which is about the alleged plot to infiltrate Birmingham schools by Islamic extremists which then introduced British values in schools as part of the prevent startegy. Very eye opening stuff
Other suggestions:
- Crypto Island
- The Lazarus Heist
If you enjoy fiction podcast I'd highly recommend The Bright Sessions. It's a bit cheesy at times, follows a therapist as she helps those with superpowers essentially
Other fiction suggestions:
- Limetown, though I gave up on season 2

A true crime podcast about the discovery of the remains of a man and woman in the woods, 40 years after their murder. When the man's family is contacted to let them know about the discovery they want to know where is he daughter, who would now be 42 years old if still alive. Really enjoying it so far.
I really like Alan Carr’s Life’s A Beach. Recently though they have been shorter and not so entertaining. I think he started them I at the! end of lockdown when he had no work I guess, but now he is busy, they have got shorter. PalOma Faith’s was very candid.
Louis Theroux’s were very good.
Off Menu - Acaster and that other guy. The Rylan, Bob Mortimer and Miriam Margolyes in particular!
Rob Brydon’s one is great.
I have not listened to radio for the last couple of years, I much prefer podcasts.I like the choice - there’s something for everyone.
(Actually me not listening to radio is a lie - I listen to Graham Norton and Rylan in the car at weekends if I am out and about, but my home listening is non existent.)

I'm relatively new to the world of podcasts, maybe the last year or so but my favourites are:
Help! I Sexted My Boss - Jordan North (I'm a celeb & Radio 1) and William Hanson (etiquette expert) - very funny. I'm no prude but even I blush at some of the emails they get. New episodes Tues & Fri
Rob Beckett & Josh Widdicombe's Parenting Hell - Rob Beckett & Josh Widdicombe (both comedians) - even as a non-parent I really enjoy this. New episodes Tues & Fri
The Therapy Crouch - Peter Crouch (footballer) and Abbey Clancy (model & SCD) - this is a fairly new podcast with only 5 episodes. Very funny, very chilled, so far they have been discussing how they met and their relationship etc. New episodes Tues
Going to give Wolf & Owl a go after seeing a few people in this thread recommend it.
If there are any others similar please recommend them - apart from SMA. I listened to a good few episodes but got a bit fed up which is a shame as a I really like Chris as a stand-up

I loved White Wine Question Time With Kate Thornton but she has let it slide. Only one actual new podcast so far this year. The other podcast was a re-hash of past interviews, which felt like a cop out. Podcasters need to keep putting out fresh content to keep listeners coming back.
Off Menu is good. I've mentioned this one before but I really like Griefcast, the episode with Romesh is worth a listen.
I was actually tempted to listen to Griefcast after hearing Cariad on parenting hell!
Off Menu is great, some of the episodes are brilliant.
I’m liking Kathy Burke’s podcast Where there’s a Will, there’s a Wake.
Alan Carr Life’s a Beach, some of the earlier ones are great.
Honestly I really like it. I'm similar too Cariad that I was 16 when my dad died of cancer. He died at only 48. I find grief fascinating really. The way she describes how you deal with grief in the romesh interview is so good.
Is anyone listening to Older & Wider by Jenny Eclair and Judith Holder? I find it interesting but I have noticed Jenny can be hard faced. She described her mother dying as a relief and also never collected her father's ashes and just left them at the crematorium! Judith is ok but her laugh can be irritating.
Ah I’m wanting to give this a go too but worried it might be too depressing/emotional. My mum died when I was 19 and she was only in her 50’s. I heard her on parenting hell and totally agree when people’s parents die 80 odd or something and say they know how it feels. No you don’t!
Yeah it is emotional at times but she does make some sense about grief. I would say, start with one of the comedian ones she did. I find it quite cathartic. Sending you lots of love xx
I thought the same. I’m in a similar boat, my mum died in her 40s when I was 20 of cancer and I thought it would be too much. It isn’t! I found it quite helpful actually (I haven’t listened to many episodes, sometimes it’s a big consuming and I don’t want to binge listen to 5 episodes at a time about death). I’ve avoided the episodes with a grandparent death, I know this sounds bad and it’s not a grief competition but personally I can’t relate emotionally to those.
Youturn is my favourite podcast. Been listening for a few years.
Love, Janessa was pretty good, nice host. I didn't really get what was going on at the end though.
I was listening to Casefile for true crime for a few weeks, but I've stopped listening because I realised the material was taking a heavy toll on me. I only want lighter stuff now, self improvement, and no-gore mystery.

I listened to a lot of griefcast after my mum died a few years ago (she had just turned 60), and found it incredibly helpful. I avoided watching/listening to anything about death, cancer etc for ages as I just thought I’d find it too upsetting, but actually it was a bit of a release in some ways. I also felt like I’d made a bit of a mess of grieving for my mam, so it helped to listen to other people’s experiences and how they were, it validated a lot of the feelings I had at the time. The Romesh episode was so spot on.
I avoid the grandparents ones too, similarly find them hard to relate to.
Anybody got any further recommendations?? Just finished S-Town. Enjoyed it. Loved Your own backyard. I enjoy celebrity memoir book club with Chelsea. Liked ‘believe in magic’/ Down the hill, and the other bear brooks one. Ideally a bit of true crime. Not fussed on the Australian ones, it’s an accent thing for me 
These are easy listening ones but any fans of girls of the playboy mansion back in the day might enjoy girls next level where they talk about their experiences in the mansion.
I also just started listening to Diss and Tell about celebrity feuds and I love it
