YassinMoutaouakil Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If I Were You, an advice podcast hosted by Jake and Amir from Collegehumor. A bit marmite and full of in-jokes but it's hilarious if you like that sort of thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Code Severe with Mark Strong. I've listened to a couple now and I think it's serious. He seems to be channeling Steven Toast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 S-Town -- from the makers of This American Life and Serial, a seven-parter true investigation that's been released in one go today. A guy from Woodstock, Alabama (the Shittown of the title) gets in touch with a reporter to investigate rumours of a covered up murder in his small town. Of course, the story goes off wildly in other directions. Four episodes in and it's compelling stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 After a wee break Adam Buxton is back. The interviewee is Steve Coogan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I've been listening to it all day so it must be doing something right Really memorable characters, shows the good and bad of small town life, the alliances and feuds and mysteries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the unsolved murder of a private investigator, in which the red tops play an absolutely abhorrent role. Cross between crime investigation, justice campaign and Private Eye style revelations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerSaint Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Finished listening to S-Town. Not quite what I expected after listening to the preview as it does go off in a completely different direction. However, it is very well crafted and kept me captivated for 7 hours or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree. I loved the tangent it took in episodes 2 and 3, and then it became something different leading up to the end. As you say, though, it's crafted so well and the story is told so effortlessly, it's hard not to just be carried along by it. I've been to Alabama once. I have no plans to return. The maze looks fucking incredible. https://www.google.com/maps/place/33°12'08.9"N+87°07'52.1"W/@33.202464,-87.1318085,266m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d33.202464!4d-87.131145 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowden0 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 If you like your history, Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, as mentioned earlier in this thread, I would recommend. Episodes last 3 hours plus. So it allows proper development of the events that have changed and shaped the world we live in today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernJambo Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Babysitting Trevor with carl Donnelly and Chris martin has been pretty good so far (I'm on the 4th episode so far). Trevor has some stories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Russell Brand's new(ish) Radio X podcast is pretty funny (and long too). Has the occasional good story about his wilder days and gets the piss ripped out of him by his co-host and some guests. Much more lighthearted and knockabout than his Under The Skin podcast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Levar Burton (Star Trek) has started a podcast where he reads some of his favorite short stories.His silky smooth voice is super dreamy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartsmfc Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I regularly listen to the Joe Rogan Experience. He has a variety of people on and the majority last about 2/3 hours. I'd recommend listening to the Randall Carlson ones, he's a geologist who has done research on the claim that an asteroid hit us 10 000 odd years ago. It will scare the shit out of you but it's great 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did listen to the Neil deGrasse Tyson episode(s) as he's just fantastic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSU Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 BBC Five Live have had a bash at a Serial-esque true crime podcast called Beyond Reasonable Doubt. This collection is about a guy who may or may not have killed his wife Hard to put my finger on why it doesn't really work, but Chris Warburton's bland presentation doesn't help and for the first few episodes I wasn't sure if it was real or if it was acted out. Ira Glass presumably not losing any sleep over this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
