Flintoff, Robbie Savage and Matthew Syed. One of the topics is conspiracy theories, Freddy Flintoff has been viewing a few dodgy websites and seems to argue about the earth being flat.
āMy favourite murderā Podcast ā¦ Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark, 2 comics and a dark sense of humour. Itās really dark and funny.

Listened to Marc Maronās podcast for the first time recently, in which he interviews (separately) Beau and Jeff Bridges. Fascinating stuff. Never twigged that Lloyd Bridges was their old man. Theyāre best mates, and have helped each other out in their careers. Jeff got Beau into the Fabulous Baker Boys. Beau just lost out on a part because he was ten years too old, so he pushed the casting director Jeffās way, who got the part and nailed it.
Maron himself is an engaging host and good interviewer, judging from the tales he eked from those Fabulous Bridges boys. The pair of them are so talented its scary. Beau comes across as a particularly nice chap, the older brother whoās trodden the TV movie path while his younger sibling and father made it consistently in Hollywood.
Iāll pop this in here as I have recommended his podcasts before. True Geordie is a legend.
This is my mateās nipperās podcast.
I have not listened to it myself yet. As such, I am throwing the poor bastard on the mercy of you lot.
I havenāt listened to it but thought the sound quality was poor and the content even worse. Please pass this on.

Iāve revisited the Adam Buxton Podcast lately. Damn, that boy has raised his game. Got the likes of Steve Coogan, Paul Thomas Anderson and Bill Burr on the show.
Iām a long term fan of Adam and Joe, but since theyāre no longer āexclusiveā, largely on account of Joe being a big time movie chap now, and Ads not, itās very cool to see Bucky doing so well on his own. His jingles are fantastic, and thatās largely where he keeps the Buxton we all remember.
In conversation, heās just a nice bloke, irreverently inquisitive at times, but nowhere near the level of Herring when he does the āhave you ever tried to suck your own cock?ā emergency question.
Three thumbs up from me.

Iāve been listening to quite a bit of Harcore Listing recently.
Simple concept, two hosts, get a guest on and they get to pick a top 5. Often music, but others Iāve listened to have included top 5 bbc comedies, dinosaurs, crisps, sex toys and weird celebrity interviews.
Would definitely recommend.
Dipped into the Dirty Sanchez episode (love those guys). Sound quality was absolutely shite. Stories, great though. Recommend me some choice episodes please @krg_
Ah, thatās one Iāve not listened to yet. The sound is usually fine.
Some of my faves have been:
Gail Porter
Hugo White (Iām a long term Maccabees fan boy, so factor that in)
Mike Joyce (The Smiths)
Adam Ficek (Babyshambles)
Jess Megan
Alix Fox (make sure you listen to this one on headphones!)

Oh the Dave Whitney episode is a great listen too.
Iāve just been catching up with Jon Ronsonās Butterfly Effect series. They really are very good - and of course, are about more than just the porn industry. We really get into the substance of the series by episode 3, which I have just listened to.
Does anyone have any dedicated podcast apps they use and would recommend? Iām finding the standard iPhone one basically unusable.
Donāt mind spending a couple of quid for an app that is worth it.
Acast. Itās free and has most of the ones you mentioned. Also used audioboom for a bit for some that donāt appear on Acast.

I use Pocket Casts. Cheap and well worth the money.

Truth and Movies - James Richardson
Quickly Kevin - Josh Widdicombe
I realise Josh is a bit of a marmite character but this podcast is excellent for 90s football stories and interviews. Start with the Le tiss one if you want to get into it, although it is not one of the best it is saints related.
I was literally in tears of laughter listening to Adam Buxton interviewing Charlie Brooker.
Iām not sure what the other people in the supermarket thought was going on
