Podcasts?

[AbsoluteBaggage]

I only recently started listening to podcasts so I would love some more recommendations. I love chris & rosie Ramsay's podcast, I just laugh all the way through! I like crime podcasts but I'm struggling to find the right one for me. I tried the UK True Crime but I found the guy quite boring to listen to. I've also tried My Favourite Murder which I do like but I get annoyed by Karen & Georgia not always knowing the facts

True Crime podcasts are such a minefield! I really don't like MFM either, they're annoying and it's poorly researched.
I've been listening to podcasts for years and some have come and gone (I unsubscribe if the crimes or criminals are sensationalised or the writing is terrible or insensitive etc), but one I've always loved is 'Casefile'. Bonus points for bring neither American or US-centric. 'Criminal' with Phoebe Judge is also a goodun, beautifully written. Same for 'Someone Knows Something' (bonus points for being Canadian- so many interesting accents!).

I hope that's helpful? Lemme know how you get on, I can probably recommend you some more you'd enjoy.

(Apologies for not seeing this thread earlier- I searched but must have missed it!)

I really like listening to GaryVee. Although I don't run a business myself, I find it so motivating for when I know I have a rubbish day ahead at work.

I also like "Gals on the Go", "Paychecks & Balances" and "Stuff Mom Never Told You".

Ooh, sounds good- I'll look into those!

Thank you so much for your recommendations, I'll definitely give them a go!
I also find with MFM that they're so long but they just waffle on about nothing and I've heard such good things so thought it was just me, pleased to find out it's not!

Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - been going for years so there’s a massive back catalogue. A chat podcast where RH (a comedian from the 90’s, if you’re young ) talks to well known people. Mostly comedians but some actors and writers too. Funny and interesting, there are a few misses but they are mostly hits. They’re about 70mins long on average.

All Killa, No Filla - Serial killer podcast done by two women (one manc, one Welsh). Both comedians. Quite well done and chatty, they do meander off topic a lot so possibly not for you if you find that sort of thing annoying. There have been about a hundred episodes. Generally they cover a killer per episode but for some of the big ones (like the Wests), they do them in multiple parts over a number of episodes. Again about an hour each episode.

Scandal - The original true crime podcast. Brilliant. Follows a single case each series.

Evil Genius - A panel thing (again comedy) presented by Russell Kane (don’t let that put you off ). They choose a person from history, discuss facts about them (some known, some not so known) and debate whether they were evil or a genius.

The Beauty Brains - A podcast by two cosmetic formulating chemists that discusses beauty product ingredients and trends in the industry, as well as debunking myths and ‘insta’ fads.

Giles Coren has no idea - Giles Coren (Times columnist and food writer) and his wife, Esther Walker discuss ideas for his weekly column. Quite funny and warm. You need to have a dry sense of humour for this one as it could be sometimes construed as offensive.


FWIW, I didn’t like My dad wrote a porno or the Chris & Rosie Ramsay ones. Don’t get me wrong, the stuff above isn’t highbrow but they were just too juvenile, sniggery and a bit try hard for me. So, just a nod if you like MDWAP or the Ramsay offering, you might not enjoy my suggestions.

Shagged, married annoyed.. bloody love it

I highly recommend '' Mile Higher'' ( They also have YouTube videos ) .
This is the only podcast I'm listening, not a big podcast fan.
It's about conspiracy theories, mysterious events that happened in the past etc. Each episode is about 1h long, but they also talk about lots of other interesting topics in each episode. There is like this main topic plus at the beginning they talk about other stuff, but you can skip it easily.
Some of my faves were Rockefeller & Rothschild families, Princess Diana death conspiracy, MH370 flight disappearance , Scientology conspiracy ( I did more research after listening to this and will never ever watch any Tom Cruise movies, he is a sick person and should be in prison ).

I love mile higher!!

I’ve started listening to the Titanic one but the guy keeps saying “supposebly” and it’s doing my head in ? How do you become a grown ass man and still say supposebly.

I know what u mean. I love mile higher thou. Both josh and kendall say about how they arent perfect when it comes to grammar etc but they cover things I love like true crime and conspiracy so I cant resist!

I love true crime and my fave as already mentioned is mile higher.
Also love the serial podcast by Sarah Koenig/ this American life about adnan Syed. That whole podcast had me hooked and I still on and off read up about the whole hae min murder and his trial.
Also have recently started listening to my favourite murder. I dont really listen to them all, just the ones that interest me from the synopsis as there are so many and I am new to them I'm cherry picking those that stand out!

Anyone listening to the thing about pam? I love the narrators voice.

Joan & Jericha is HILARIOUS. Apparently series 2 is on the way. It’s Julia Davis and Vicki Pepperdine.

Some of my favorites are:

My Dad Wrote a Porno - 3 friends read the hilariously bad '50 shades' style books written by on of their Dads and comment on the ridiculousness of it. Leaves me crying with laughter.

Off Menu - Comedians Ed Gamble and James Acaster have a different guest in their 'Dream Restaurant' each week, talking us through their favorite meal (starter, main, side, dessert and drink).

Comments by Celebs - The girls behind the Instagram account of the same name sit down each week to discuss goings-on in the world of celebrities. They also do a Kardashian bonus show weekly, and 'emergency' episodes when something big happens.

All Things Cozy - Two friends sit down fortnightly to discuss a different cozy topic - very relaxing to listen to at bedtime.

Awards Chatter - An interviewer from the Hollywood Reporter sits down with an actor/actress (usually a big name) for an in-depth chat about their life and work.

Getting Curious with Jonathan van Ness - JVN from Queer Eye talks with a guest expert about different topics he is curious about.

Season 2 has just restarted! the first episode it out already!!

This is phenomenal stuff, highly recommended. Find myself standing still in the kitchen with tears streaming down my face listening to these. Covers some pretty difficult topics through mesmerising writing, much of it rap poetry. No, don't get put off, I'm not particularly a 'rap' fan either! He's brilliant, won many awards. Try something outside your usual subject area.

Ooooh. Thanks for this. Must download

If you like true crime - crime junkie is such a good podcast!!

I recommend downloading the BBC Sounds app. Then you can search across all of their radio output and listen to programmes after they have been broadcast, inc. drama and talk shows. Radio 2 has a lot of good music documentaries. For example they had one on Andy Williams I really enjoyed. I often listen to BBC London programmes after they have been broadcast as they play too much music now so I fast forward through the music and just listen to the chat and interviews.

I listened to this today and was laughing our loud all afternoon
