Tell me some Good Podcasts…?

The Expectation Effect by David Robson on BBCSounds, brilliant way of looking at things and changing perceptions about yourself

This American Life

I love this!
Here are some recommended episodes:

You can have Spotify without having to pay a subscription, although you will get adverts but that's neither here or there.

I like listening to Joe Rogan, his podcasts are a couple of hours long and most of his guests are American but he does speak to some Brits too. Also I like Rob Brydon's podcasts and if I don't feel like one of those I have a few playlists, also on Spotify to lift me up when I'm not in a happy mood.

The lady vanishes. True life, real time, ongoing search for missing Australian mum.
The infinate monkey cage, science based with Brian Cox and Robin ince, comedian.

I guess I am the only admirer of “ For The Many” a weekly podcast with Iain Dale and Jacqui Smith. Politics with humour and what they call a bit of smut. It is popular all over UK as they are travelling to loads of places in UK for live shows. The podcast is available on Global website and on Apple podcasts and other forums. Iain Dales All Talk is great too. He does long interviews with different people. He allows his guests to talk without constant interruptions and recently the long talk with Neil Kinnock was just so interesting and honest. He also recently interviewed Paul Gambaccini Harvey Proctor and Cliff Richard all victims of the lies told by one man that they had abused and murdered young boys. Grim stories. I never miss these. I have listened to the Rest Is Politics but I am not keen on Alistair Campbell. I love The Archerx and Desert Is.and Discs. I am also a fan of The Moral Maze on Radio 4 which is outstanding at making the listener think. Radio is so much better than TV for variety. But I never miss The SuperVet where I spend the hour with tears flowing at some of the cases.

‘The Infinite Monkey Cage’ - Brian Cox and guests making science entertaining and easy to understand.

I enjoyed ‘uncanny’ and the Battersea Poltegeist - if you like spooky stuff

BBC sounds. I am struggling to sleep recently so have been listening to the wonderful Old Harry's Game by Andy Hamilton and also David Mitchell's the Unbelievable Truth. I like comedy programmes with a bit of savvy about them and both have that.

Praise be! Just found The disappearing art of the mix tape. Finally it’s available on BBC Sounds.

Older and Wider is my favourite relatable and funny also Marian Keyes now you're asking.

Hi , UK true crime with Adam is great , he does a new one every Tuesday and you will have over 200 to listen to. Also if you just Google Missing podcasts there are quite a few episodes that are really interesting. Also Blood Ties with Geoffrey Wansell and his daughter, they talk about crime.

Cheers for that Glorianny I'll have a look.

Wendy where is Winchelsea please? Think I might like that.

Winchelsea is on BBC sounds- Audiobooks. I'm just up to Episode 7

Evolving Prisons is good if you are interested in ex prisoners, prison governors and prison warder stories.

I wishI could find a programme from about ten years ago called The Art if the Mix Tape featuring the sister if Guy Garvey. It was so interesting but sadly no longer available.

Wendy where is Winchelsea please? Think I might like that.

Forgot to say that Graham is on holiday at the moment so his Problem Page is on hold until he’s back.

These are great! Thank you!
It’s funny that Tilly mentioned Graham and Maria.
They were the original comedy agony aunts (R2 Saturday mornings) and then Nick and Carol ripped off the idea!
(I absolutely adore Nick Abbot btw)
And now I see that Marian Meyes has done the same!
I love Marian too, I could listen to her all day.
And I’m forever indebted to her, as her books ‘Watermelon’ and ‘Rachel’s Holiday’ got me through the weeks directly following the death of my Mom.
(Sorry, I do ramble don’t I!)

Graham and Maria are now on Virgin Radio on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9.30
It’s basically Grahams radio 2 show and the agony aunt letters are now called Grahams Guide rather than Grill Graham. That but if the show comes on just after 10 am.

If you like smuggling tales, Winchelsea is good

Here’s an explanation springishere

A podcast is a collection or series of digital audio files that are made available for downloading or listening via the Internet. Each individual audio recording is known as a podcast episode. Podcasts are typically hosted by an individual or individuals who lead a conversation, share stories, or report the news.

What is a podcast?

I really liked’Tea with Twiggy’, I used to listen to it in the bath. She had some good guests.

I also love The Rest is History. Really high quality conversation, with two presenters who get on well and can disagree agreeably.

I also like BBC Extra History, In Our Time (if you didn’t hear some episodes on the radio), Zoe Science and Nutrition, Side B Stories and Unbelievable? with Justin Brierley.

If you are interested in history, both ancient and modern, try The Rest is History, with Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook. play.acast.com/s/the-rest-is-history-podcast
Witty and informative: they cover a wide range of topics
