Obviously apart from the QPR ones anybody have any particular podcasts that they enjoy listening to? Over the last year I’ve been jilted dipping into the Wittering Whitehalls, but have just discovered Kathy Burke’s Where There’s a Will There’s a Wake. PC it ain’t. Brilliantly funny. And search for the one where Paul Whitehouse is guest. |  |

Bit of a history nerd and use various podcasts for my long runs. The big hitters such as Empire and the Rest is History are both great, and fully accessible to us non-historians.
Ear Hustle is another fantastic podcast - started out as a project in San Quentin hosted by inmates and has expanded into other jails across the US. Incredibly insightful - and bound to give you a resentment against the US prison industrial complex. The episode where the main presenter gets released a few seasons in had me in absolute bits. Really worth your time. |
So, followed your recommendation and tried out Ear Hustle.
It's a really good listen, thought provoking. | | | |

My Dad Wrote A Porno is up there as one of the funniest I’ve ever heard .
For true crime, Cold was very good, as was Bear Brook.
For investigative podcasts, Last Man Standing about the journalist John Cantlie, who ISIS took, was utterly amazing. The Lazarus Heist about North Korea’s hackers was also fantastic.
Lastly, a shout for British Scandal, just informative and entertaining. |  | | |

Having just come back from Berlin, I was reminded of a podcast called Wind of Change a few years back. The metal ballad, “Wind of Change,” by the Scorpions was very popular during the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Decades later a rumour surfaced that the song wasn’t written by the Scorpions but by the CIA. It's a great story. [Post edited 1 Nov 8:25]

On history podcasts, have you checked out Dan Carlin 'Hardcore Histories'? I was really into them at one point. They are *long*, serious commitments. After I finished his series on genghis khan it was pretty much all I could think or talk about. I could probably have done it as my specialist topic on Master Mind |
It has been on my list to try out for a while - am in the middle of marathon training atm so long episode podcasts might be just the thing.
Reading John Man's "the Mongol Empire" at the moment which is a brilliant read so may have to check out the Genghis Khan series to go along with it. |  | | |

Great thread, I listen to a lot of podcasts while I'm working.
Another one for The Rest is History, newly found Athletico Mince and love it. Two not mentioned so far are Geoff Norcotts What most people think, and we have ways of making you talk, about the second world war and encompassing an awful lot.
I listen to a fair amount of true crime stuff because I have the time, a lot of it is throwaway, but ripcurrent, about two women who separately tried to assassinate Gerald ford, is actually really interesting, taking in american counter-culture.
Will give a couple of the recommendations on here a go 👍 keep them coming! |
Another one for Geoff Norcott's What Most People Think. Always has a good range of guests from both sides of the political spectrum |  | | |

Everything about Hardcore History shouldn't work. The long form 3+ hour episodes are just not done like that. The mixed season length - 3, 6, 8 episodes - is inconsistent. A single voice - Dan Carlin - is seen as a no-no.
But they are brilliant. I've been listening to them since Blueprint for Armageddon, the First World War season. 23 hours and quite brilliant.
The quality of podcasts is improving ow - fewer hobbyists are making them and the sound and editing is way better as the tech becomes cheaper.
A few I like include:
Page 94 - the Private Eye podcast
Akimbo - Seth Godin's marketing podcast
Smersh Pod - a cool review of Bond films and associated movies
On Auschwitz - super quality about what the camp was really like
The Real Science of Sport - brilliant research into research into sport science
The Comedian's Comedian Podcast = interviews with comedians about their craft [Post edited 4 Nov 16:28]

I listen to the Rest is History by Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook they cover so many different subjects and have enjoyed the majority but special mention to series they did on The Titanic , General Custer and the Aztecs
Also listen to the We have way of making you talk which is Second World War by James Holland and Al Murray | | | |

I used to listen to a lot.of comedians talking to other comedians podcasts. A few of my favourites were
Carl Donnelly and Chris Martin podcast
Dan Nightingale podcast
Have A Word podcast, Dan Nightingale and Adam Rowe. Listened to Dan's older one more, but Have A Word has gone fairly stellar |  | | |

What's Upset You Now?

Featuring our own Seann Walsh, it's him and long term friend and fellow career stand up Paul McCaffrey who basically rant about all the things that are shit and annoying in life. Episodes are 15-20mins but there's unedited versions of around 1 hour on Patreon.
It's genuinely very funny and relateable, and they also have an additional weekly episode with a guest - often a comedian - who gets the chance to sound off. Strong recommend. |  |
