If you like true crime and investigative journalism then Your Own Backyard, Hunting Warhead and In The Dark are brilliant.

 

True Crime podcasts are all I listen to now.

The Blindboy Podcast is very good. He’s the guy from The Rubberbandits but the content is nothing like you’d expect from their songs.

 

I’ve actually started one with 2 of my mates, nothing special and just chatting about * with a guest each episode. Any rugby fans, had ruaridh jackson on the most recent one (33scotland caps). Called “the back bar podcast”, on iTunes and Spotify. We only started it to get us away from the burds and get a few beers, so will see how it goes.

 

Blindboy in the best podcast on the Internet..... he is a fuking legend. Would love few pints with him if bars ever open ffs

 

Definitely recommend the Blindboy Podcast as others have mentioned.

Any decent sport ones?

 

Bill Burrs - Monday Morning and Thursday Afternoon Monday morning.

 

Blindboy has an excellent episode called “Creaking Ditch Pigeon”. If you are interested in psychology and mental health it’s a cracking podcast very well researched and well worth listening to. Don’t be put off by the title he gives them all mad titles.

 

I enjoy Blind boy, Adam Buxton, Richard Herring, Scroobius Pip.

Can't stand American podcasters they all seem to give me a migraine.

Shameless plug here lads, but I’ve started a podcast with 2 mates during lockdown (aye, one of they *) and just had Tam Cowan on as our latest guest. If you’re bored with an hour to kill, feel free to give it a go, called The Back Bar Podcast and it’s on iTunes/Spotify

 

Aye I've noticed him thinking he's the man a few time's in his podcasts now..

Gets a bit irritating..

That Darren Gee is a total riddy of a guy and James English trying to pipe up was even worse. He's even getting Sam Walker on who is a scouser with big problem's with Darren Gee....basically trolling him even more..

That will be a good watch though..

 

Been listening to Ted Talks (available on Spotify) on my morning drive to work. Find them to be some of the most insightful podcasts I've listened to. This morning's podcasts were about archaeology and climate change.

 

Love Bill Burr he seems a sound * also very funny obviously. When he starts talking about American sports I fast forward sometimes though cos I canny be arsed with that *.

 

IV been listening to that for a few years now, love when Nia comes on the show, IV been going through the old Opi and Anthony show archives recently unbelievable show

Michael Maisey on James English is a good one..

I see he's linked up with a former Tottenham casual and pro mma fighter (lol if only people knew about this guy. So many lies never been run and pro fighter who has fought 1 *) and Danny Simpson from South London off the back of robbing a couple of * and some name's getting thrown about that had nothing to do with him..

Literally just getting anyone on his shows now..

 

I started watching Noah Donohoe's mam on James English but I had to turn it off..

Honestly couldn't take anymore..

His poor old dear man

 

The Rewatchables is great if you’re into films.
