There's only so much more I can take of laughing at Bob Mortimer's South African stories

Adam Buxton does a good podcast where he interviews people. He has that knack of relaxing people and getting them to talk openly and honestly.

I like Sean but he borders on the conspiracy sides of things which I can't be bothered with.

 

He's spot on with the Prince Andrew stuff though

If 90's football is your thing Quickly Kevin will he Score? (Josh Widdicombe) is very good.

 

Luke & Pete (from the Football Ramble) and Off Menu (James Acaster/Ed Gamble) not bad.

 

Presume you are into comedy (I also love Athletico Mince) - there is an old one called Comedians Telling Stuff which has a simple format but very interesting.

Wind of change was really decent I think. An investigative journalist looking into a fairly widely circulated rumour that the song 'wind of change' by German band The Scorpions was actually written by the CIA to promote change in the Soviet Union following the fall of the Berlin Wall. Binged it in a day

That weegie lad James English is my favourite podcast at the mo. Wide variety of characters he has on from ex gangsters to people like David Icke and also a police whistleblower. Let's his guests say their piece without constant questions and interruptions. He had a Scouse lad on there recently called Darren Gee. Wouldn't wanna cross that fella In a dark alley. James English also comes across as a thoroughly decent human being as well

Last Podcast on the Left.    3 American friends talk about serial killers, occult, mysteries etc.   Very funny and they actually cover the subjects in depth at the same time.

If you're into true crime stories, I'd recommend The Teachers Pet. It's the story of a professional rugby player in Australia who allegedly murdered his wife in order to be with his schoolgirl age lover. 

 

Would also recommend Serial, another true crime one, which at one point was the most downloaded podcast in history!

I would highly recommend Top Flight Time Machine. Started it the other day and it's really funny and a great format. Sam Delaney is a really funny guy as is Andy Dawson when he's not overshadowed by Bob Mortimer on Athletico Mince.

Not a podcast but still good…

 

 

This is brilliant. He does another called Nomad which is also hilarious in places.

Still hard to take that this man won't be adding anything new to his incredible body of work. 

Sore one with Sean Locke the week before.

For any history buffs out there I would recommend “The History of Rome” by Mike Duncan.

192 episodes 30 minute episodes on the rise and fall of the Roman Empire.

Excellent stuff. His down to earth delivery is excellent, after a nervous first few episodes, and will fill a good few weeks of your time. Leaves you wondering how the Romans ever pulled it off for so long given the constant treachery.

 

He also has a “Revolutions” podcast, a mere 323 episodes, covering the major revolutions of our time. The French revolution was fascinating and his humorous delivery makes it easy to listen to. I never realised the French Revolution was such a farce.


Certainly fills the cold winter nights.

Shat the Movies. Reviews films from

your childhood each week. 3 presenters, good mix of styles and really funny in places. Nice listening to them discuss Ghostbusters, Indy, Bond, BTTF, Et, Die Hard etc and films of that ilk. Been on for 5 years now

Really depends what you are into. I listen to a lot of wrestling podcasts because I love Wrestling.

 

Listen to a podcast covering a subject you like.

Outwith the hearts ones I listen to football ramble and the terrace. Also price of football.

 

Crime in Sports and Small Town murder are good. With CIS you need to remember they are American so its more American sports stars. Just done a 3 parter on Mike Tyson. 

 

Really liked wrestleme. Where they go through each wrestlemaina. 

 

FF1S. A piss take look at that weekends F1.

 

Don't think I'd be doing a good by mentioning that my mates have started our own one on all.of Scottish Football. 

"PARK THE BUS FITBA PODCAST"

being honest its 4 laddies trying there best. Talking football and no sense. Very rough around the edges but we are getting there
