Thought it would be the same usual suspects, but there's plenty there I've never heard of.

There are some interesting ones in the list. I've just spent the last hour subscribing to new podcasts.

Anyone who has an interest in the music industry might like Slate's Hit Parade podcast.
Really interesting explorations, which accompanying music.
The charity single one was great, and just listened to one about how singles have been used to flog albums over the years, and how that's changed at different periods.

I listened to Caliphate in one night, it’s really gripping.

Very late to the party on this but I've been listening today on a very boring train journey. I was laughing out loud. People were looking

It’s the amount of eating they do just before sex that gets to me, always seems a bit uncomfortable.

I have noticed a bit of bitter resentment from long established comics about the success of MDWOP. They have gone from starting a podcast to doing a world tour and playing the Albert Hall in a couple of years.
Richard Herring said as much on his podcast when discussing them with someone else .
I think it's cos they are not comedians they don't have that ego or need for oneupmanship

Hi Bot, what are you going to advertise shortly?

Athletico Mince - Bob Mortimer and another man from Sunderland, sort of football but fine for those, like me, who know and care little for football. Lots of silly and slightly surreal conversations between footballers (they do loose impressions of voices). I am especially fond of the incidents between Peter Beardsley and his wife who demands various types of eggs (get us some fookin poachies/boilers). Sometimes veers a bit close to laddish for my tastes but the good bits make up for it.
Dear Joan and Jericho - Vikki Pepperdine and Julia Davies - two vile characters giving agony aunt advice. Brilliant but high eeeeeewww factor.
Matt Berry Interviews - especially the Eno episode
(I have not read through the thread so apologies if these have already been mentioned)

Yes, that's great ! I really enjoyed the recent one about The B-52s and REM.
I'm just listening to Slow Burn, which is about US political scandals. The first season was on Watergate, the current one is on Clinton & Lewinsky. Very well researched and in-depth.
In the Dark is a very good true crime podcast. The second season on the case of Curtis Flowers was jaw-dropping.

I've been listening to Mrs Brightside which is Susan Calman talking to other comedians about mental health. I've been finding it really insightful. Quite a few things that have been said have really chimed with me and I'm learning a lot about my own mental health and a few tools to deal with it.

I have a question about podcasts: I tend to listen when I'm commuting which means I need to download them as I can't maintain a stable internet connection all the way to work. Am I being stupid but it seems like a lot of them don't have a download option. In the Dark for instance - just been to the website and can't see a download option. Is there a way around this? I have a Samsung phone.

Are you using a podcast app? If not, I'd recommend getting one. There are loads available, I've used Doggcatcher and Podcast Addict for Android but a quick Google will give you recommendations and options. Then you can download when you have WiFi, set up a play list, get reminders of new episodes, lots of useful things!

Good tip - thanks.
Pretty much the UK version of My Favorite Murder with Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, and imo not as funny/interesting/horrifying.

Friend recommended me This Sounds Serious, something of a parody of true crime podcasts.
I'm not as familiar with the genre as many, but it's still very funny in its own right, had me properly laughing out loud a number of times.
Also, Victoriocity is quite a fun little alternative-Victorian era caper. Currently crowdfunding for a second series and can be seen at the London Podcast Festival in a couple of weeks.

A few additions.
Arts & Ideas - Radio 3 podcast covering music, lit, films, and well, the arts and ideas. Revolving presenters, mostly knowledgeable and conducive to interesting discussion and debate, except Philip Dodd, a pompous windbag who derails every show to talk about himself, China or to heap scorn on his guests (particularly patronising to female guests). Says 'marinaded' in every bloody programme. If you can avoid this twat, it's well worth a listen.
Revolutionary Left Radio - US podcast exploring the breadth of left politics. Guests are given a lot of time to speak and expand upon their ideas, rather than the usual interrogative presenter focused style.
Safe For Democracy - Very detailed left history podcast exploring US imperialism.
Team Human - Douglas Rushkoff podcast about protest, politics and tech with a revolving cast of mostly US activists (and some who just like the title for marketing purposes).
The Butterfly Effect - Jon Ronson's investigation into porn is funny, sad, awful and informative.
The Partially Examined Life - excellent US based philosophy podcast. Mostly continental philosophy, and thankfully dismissive of repeated demands from sectors of their US audience to cover Ayn Rand, Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, Dawkins and all the other 'new atheist' fundamentalists. Just be sure to click off after the discussion before you get exposed to host Mark Linsenmayer's terrible band(s) who play out every edition.
Very Bad Wizards - an interesting philosophy lecturer and an irritating psychology lecturer discuss the intersections between the two.
The Essay - short Radio 3 podcast featuring different essays (often on a similar theme) by a variety of different authors.
The AI Podcast - a podcast about AI, funnily enough. Should come as no surprise that there's a strong right libertarian leaning.
