I don't know how many people listen to podcasts. I listen to a lot.
One of my favourites is the Private Eye podcast Page 94.

There was especially a really frank conversation with Dr Phil Hammond ( who has family members with mental health challenges and his father committed suicide ) about Mental Health.

Seems a really fair assessment of the current state of Mental Health care provision.

I didn't know Private Eye had a podcast! I'll have to take a look.

I'm a sucker for true crime stuff, but my real favourite is this one about bad books:

I love true crime podcasts too, my favourite recently is criminal, I’ve listened too all the backlog and am looking for something else to spend as many hours with as possible!

If you want something new, Broken Harts is a really brilliant story. The other one I'd recommend is The Dropout​.

I’ve only listened to Serial in the crime section. Mostly I listen to silly ones or funny - I enjoy Table Manners, Griefcast, My Dad wrote a porno makes me LOL .

Mostly I listen to audiobooks lately.

Thanks folks. Do please post links as Im always up for a podcast recommendation or two.

https://www.nosuchthingasafish.com/ is a great podcast, think its undertook by the QI elves

It's great to hear about these - I usually have at least a few hours of alone time in the office any given week, and I love having podcasts on while I work.

thispodcastwillkillyou.com is really fantastic and very funny, but HA people should be warned that it's mostly about infectious diseases.

This American Life is my favorite podcast and they have over 600 episodes going back to 1995, all available on their app.

I also really enjoy Bookish with Sonya Walger. She talks with someone different each episode about their 5 favorite/most influential books.

And, Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History offers so many fascinating stories!

That Bookish podcast looks good. Im going to hunt that down.
