RECENT EPISODE
HIGHLIGHTS
IT’S… WAGATHA CHRISTIE Showbiz / True Crime
Episode 6 // ‘Oh my God, my lady’ // May 2022 20m
There are so many questions at the heart of the libel claim brought by
Rebekah Vardy against Coleen Rooney. Did Vardy discuss with husband
Jamie whether the Leicester lads were, in fact, fuming about Riyad
Mahrez going on strike? How did that phone with the many fascinating
WhatsApps end up at the bottom of the North Sea? Who’s Davy Jones
anyway? BBC Sounds’ companion podcast answered as many as it can,
and reported day by day from the trial.
QUITE UNSUITABLE FOR FEMALES Sport & Leisure
Football Icons: Lily Parr’s Legacy// April 2022 1hr 8m
As the final preparations are made for the women’s European
Championships in England this summer, the National Football Museum
has put together this five-part history of women’s football in this country.
We start with the career of Lily Parr, English women’s football’s first
proper star – and one with a legendarily vicious shot, which broke one
goalkeeper’s arm – and her all-conquering team Dick, Kerr’s Ladies, who
drew crowds of more than 50,000 in the 1920s.
THE REST IS POLITICS Politics
Bad politics, local elections, and toxic debates // May 2022 56m
Two men who’ve been at the heart of the political world - former
Downing Street Director of Communications and Strategy Alastair
Campbell and cabinet minister Rory Stewart - have joined forces from
across the political divide to produce chart topping podcast The Rest Is
Politics. This recent episode features a fascinating discussion on what
can be done to improve the quality of debate in Westminster, and there's
also time for some lighthearted porridge chat along the way.

HEAR HER VOICE Music
Up & Coming ft Olivia Dean & Rio Fredrika // April 2022 46m
Hosted by Laura Whitmore, Hear Her Voice is a podcast all about
celebrating the artistry and talent of women in music. For this episode
Laura and her guests, singer songwriter Olivia Dean (Amazon Music's
'Breakthrough Artist of the Year 2021') and Capital Dance DJ Rio Fredrika,
pick their favourite songs and lyrics from a new generation of female
music stars. A celebratory episode full of new music recommendations
to check out, when you're not listening to podcasts of course...
DIRTY AIR Sport & Leisure
Miami 2022 Race Review // May 2022 36m
Dirty Air is a new Formula 1 podcast featuring race obsessives and stand-
up comics Josh Weller and Alfie Brown. On every episode the pair spout
off with race predictions, recaps and spot-on impersonations of every
Austrian in the paddock. Most episodes are comedic takes on the most
recent race so you're probably best off going for the very latest episode,
but their review of the Miami grand prix and Max Verstapen's latest win
had us in stitches from the off.
LIVES LESS ORDINARY Society & Culture
Bike Riding Bank Robber // Part One // April 2022 39m
A cyclist who dreamed of Olympic glory before turning to bank heists
when he watched Heat. The perfect boyfriend who convinced his partner
he was a left wing protester but turned out to be an undercover cop. A
wheelchair athlete whose village gave up on her as a child. Mobeen
Azhar, Emily Webb and Jo Fidgen hear the stories of everyday people
you’d pass in the street whose lives have taken shocking, moving,
unexpected turns.
SCAMFLUENCERS True Crime
The Hollywood Ponzi Scheme // April 2022 43m
Wondery has a nice line in true crime and scammery podcasts – they
did Dirty John and Dr Death, after all – and now hosts Scaachi Koul and
Sarah Hagi unpack cautionary tales which show how the convergence
of social media and hucksterdom can destroy lives. We hear about the
teenager who pretended to be a doctor, a scam in the heart of LA and
the Fyre Festival of the ballet world. Stratospheric rises and abrupt,
crashing falls abound.

Actor and environmental campaigner Cate Blanchett and clean

STORIES OF THE STALKED
When X sees Lily on stage, he begins an imaginary affair of 13 years, and
counting. He’s crossed oceans, posed as her colleague and even bought
a suit for their 'wedding'. But they’ve never met. Lily Baldwin takes us into
her world of being stalked – the insidious fear, legal challenges, survival
techniques for an 'invisible violence' that poisons her life.
“A brave exposé of the suffering caused by “Extraordinary, raw, painfully
stalkers and how the system lets them get away honest account of what it’s like to
with destroying people’s lives” Miss Clark be stalked” Mary
RADIANT MINDS: THE WORLD OF OLIVER SACKS
Radiant Minds: The World of Oliver Sacks investigates consciousness,
the brain, and the human experience, drawing inspiration from works
by the neurologist and beloved author Oliver Sacks. Oliver cared for
people with misunderstood neurological conditions at a time when
many in the medical community had turned their backs on them.
“Simultaneously provocative and humbling. A catalyst for becoming “Just incredible”

NINETY THREE WOMEN
How did the deadliest serial killer in US history get away with murder
for over 40 years? Samuel Little was serving life in prison for killing
three women, when he began to confess to a string of murders. His
total murder count reached 93 victims across 19 US States. Journalist
Benjamin Zand leads an investigation that is both a true crime story and
a forensic examination of how US law enforcement failed to stop the
country’s most dangerous serial killer.
“Really shocking true crime story, which “This is a brilliant listen. The story itself

KERMODE & MAYO'S TAKE Film & TV
Yes, Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo’s post-Wittertainment podcast
is brand new, but it’s also reassuringly the same thing they’ve been
doing since 2001, when their Five Live show got going. Kermode
gets exercised about films; Mayo drily undercuts him; there’s a lot
of chatter about stuff that has nothing to do with anything. But now
they’ve got a second, subscribers-only edition too, TV reviews, and
a fancy neon sign in the studio.
BEST FRIEND THERAPY Society & Culture
Two best friends talking on a podcast is not a revolutionary idea,
but when one of those friends is a well established podcaster and
the other happens to be a psychotherapist, the proposition changes
completely. Each week, Elizabeth Day and Emma Reed-Turrel talk
about how to tackle the challenges we all face in daily life with
honesty, compassion, practical wisdom and the kind of chemistry
you'd expect from best friends of over 20 years.
DEVILS IN THE DARK True Crime
Having only just passed the 10 episode milestone, Devils In The
Dark is a fairly new player in the True Crime game, but what they
lack in minutes, they make up for in macabre content. Helen
Anderson and Danni Howard explore the wildest, most gruesome
and totally shocking true crime cases in history. Together, with the
help of experts, they learn more about the killer's origins, darkest
secrets, and horrific desires... but can they handle it?

GARDENING WITH THE RHS Home & Garden
An award winning podcast offering seasonal advice, inspiration
and practical solutions for gardeners of all levels. Gardening with
the RHS speaks to trusted gardening professionals to give you the
latest horticultural advice, scientific research and tried-and-tested
techniques to bring out the best in your garden. With Summer here
and another brilliant Chelsea Flower Show complete, now's the
time to get those fingers green.
PEEL ACRES Music
Tom Ravenscroft, son of John Peel, lets guests loose in the gigantic,
rambling record collection his dad amassed over his life. The likes
of Damon Albarn, Nabihah Iqbal, Adam Buxton and Four Tet have
dug through the tens of thousands of records to pick out eight
they fancy spinning – some are old favourites, some are rarities by
familiar names, and some are complete wildcards. It’s a fun idea,
and ensures Peel’s sense of exploration lives on.
ALAN CARR'S 'LIFE'S A BEACH' Comedy / Travel
Comedian Alan Carr invites celebrity guests to share their holidaying
memories, from dream travel destinations to the holiday horror
stories they tried to forget. What began as a form of escapism
when restrictions left us unable to travel during the pandemic has
continued to make us howl with laughter on a weekly basis, with
guests including Fearne Cotton, Jonathan Ross, Lorraine Pascal and
Louis Theroux.
BUFFERING THE VAMPIRE SLAYER Film & TV
A bi-weekly podcast in which your hosts Jenny Owen Youngs
(professional musician & recreational Whedonverse aficionado)
and Kristin Russo (professional writer & former goth teen) discuss
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, one episode at a time. It's classic TV
show companion pod fare but the hosts wonderful chemistry and
the creation of a new original songs recapping each glorious Buffy
episode make it a particularly enjoyable listen.
DAN CARLIN'S HARDCORE HISTORY History
Right, fair warning with this one: it’s not one to pop on for the
20 minutes that you’re sorting out the washing and doing the
dishwasher. Dan Carlin’s mammoth examinations of some of the
knottiest and most extreme episodes in human history, from the
Roman invasion of Britain to the invention of the atomic bomb,
can run to five and a half hours an episode. He leaves no stone
unturned, and his low growl adds gravitas.

3 THE TWO SHOT PODCAST
A brilliantly simple premise, something shared by all the best podcasts. Craig
Parkinson sits down with a guest and they talk, about anything and everything.
Guests include lots of the great and the good, alongside unsung heroes, from the world of TV and
cinema but lots of other creative and interesting people from so many different backgrounds too. Oh,
and there are 200 episodes to delve into if this podcast has passed you by. One of my favourites.
4 SONG EXPLODER
Hrishikesh Hirway manages effortlessly to perform the most crucial piece of podcast
magic - essentially becoming the listener themselves, transplanted into the studio
with some of the greatest creators of music of our times. That’s where we discover the alchemy, talent
and happenstance that go into making a hugely memorable track. Genuinely full of jaw dropping
moments behind some of the best songs ever. It’s like hearing tunes that you already know but in 3D. An
absolute treasure trove of past episodes is waiting for you.
5 INSIDE INSIDE NO. 9
I’m totally in love with the show that inspired this podcast - the most creative TV
since, well, ever, harking back to classic TV like Tales Of The Unexpected and
Armchair Thriller. The actual show has more Easter eggs than you can shake a stick at, so this deep dive
into the making of each episode, by its creators Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton, is like a guided
tour of their brilliantly warped minds.

CLASSIC EPISODES FROM
THE PODCAST ARCHIVES
BUSINESS WARS Business / Documentary
Pizza Hut vs Domino's // Rolling Out // September 2020 26m
Business Wars tells the stories of the biggest rivalries in business, from
Netflix v HBO to Nike v Adidas, focusing on the real stories of what
drives these companies and their leaders. In this first of six episodes
documenting the Pizza Hut v Domino’s story, host David Brown takes us
back to 1958, a time when, away from the buzz of New York and LA, pizza
was barely available. Cue two sets of siblings with grand plans to change
that, and one hell of a story about how they fought to outdo each other.
BLACK GIRL SONGBOOK Music
Whitney Houston’s Super Bowl // February 2021 34m
The many huge contributions of black women to pop music are the focus
of this one, where each time Danyel Smith dives deep into one story and
how it changed the music industry. It all opened with a look at Whitney’s
still astounding Super Bowl performance of The Star-Spangled Banner in
January 1991, 10 days into the first Gulf War, which became the focus of a
gigantic rush of patriotic feeling. The likes of Jennifer Hudson and Estelle
have dropped by for chats too.
GASTROPOD Food
Of Ghost Foods and Culinary Extinction // November 2019 48m
Hosts Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley examine how food has changed
over time with an emphasis on scientific innovations and forgotten histories
which have silently shaped what’s on our plates and in our cupboards
over the centuries. This one dishes up extinct delights like silphium, the
Romans’ favourite herb, and the Ansault pear, which was apparently the
single greatest pear ever developed. But this isn’t just about the past. It’s
about what we do to prevent the loss of more foods as the climate changes.
24 //POD BIBLE // #021 // JUN 2022
TWO TWOS PODCAST Society & Culture
Ep 76 // 'Grindr is the Deliveroo for gay men' // May 2021 1hr 20m
The Two Twos Podcast is hosted by Rose Frimpong and Nana Duncan,
two black lesbians from London who wanted to create a safe space for
people like them in an effort to bridge the gap between LGBT+ people
and Cis gendered straight people. This episode features the fabulous
beauty influencer Ola Awosika, a true force of nature with an infectious
personality. Tune in for discussions on beauty and skincare, growing up
as a gay Nigerian and the wide range of terminologies used by gay men.
GIANT Sport
English Football's Last Great Rivalry // July 2019 59m
Between 1996 and 2005, Arsenal and Manchester United played each
other 29 times. Each match bristled with a level of animosity rarely seen
since. The managers bickered, the players brawled, and the supporters
bragged as titles and cups were traded back and forth. Episode 5 of
MUNDIAL magazine’s audio documentary series tells the story from the
fans’ perspective, each voice revelling in recounting what’s widely seen
as English football’s last great rivalry. (GIANT is exclusive to Spotify).
SOUNDTRACKING Film & Music
Ep 109 // Bradley Cooper on Lady Gaga & A Star Is Born // October 2018 35m
Broadcaster Edith Bowman's passion project recently hit the 300
episode milestone, so what better way to celebrate than to pick out a
classic episode of the show that delves into movie music, from the scores
that inspired today's movie makers to their approach to soundtracking
their own films. Back in 2018 Edith caught up with a charmingly humble
Bradley Cooper to discuss A Star Is Born, the film he wrote, produced,
directed and of course acted in, alongside Lady Gaga.
BRIAN & ROGER Comedy / Fiction
An Evening With Aggers // February 2019 14m
Brian & Roger is a beautifully simple audio sitcom written and performed
by Toast Of London's Harry Peacock and Dan Skinner (Angelos
Epithemiou). Brian & Roger met at a support group for divorced men and
are finding their new single lives increasingly difficult. This episode had us
in tears of laughter as a trip to a Q&A with cricket commentator Jonathan
Agnew goes spectacularly wrong in the most brilliant way. Dark humour
at it's most charming.
