Just thought suggest to you all to give a listen to Fighting Talk - it is just a comedy sports panel show which is also broadcast live on Radio 5 Live on Saturday (but the podcast is way better) [link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0070hvs]
Also would definitely recommend My Dad Wrote A P****, just absolutely filthily hilarious - if you have an innocent mind then this is definitely not for you [link: http://www.mydadwroteaporno.com]
Do you have any suggestions you would recommend to your fellow Monzo members?
I just counted and I subscribe to 91 podcasts. Admittedly I fall asleep to a lot of them, so I donāt listen to every hour I download, but I usually have them playing while I work, cook, shower and run. (I hate listening to music while running, I need to have a conversation going on in my ears to stop me reminding myself how much Iām hating runningā¦) Here are a few I think other people might like
Freakonomics - Iām sure everyone has read their books, the podcasts are brilliant and explain stuff thatās going on in the world really well.
Planet Money - an NPR financial podcast but itās not boring, itās highly entertaining
NPR Up First and New York Times The Daily are really great āmorningā podcasts which summarise the big events in US/world news. They usually publish mid-morning in the UK so handy if you need a distraction at lunchtime.
Can He Do That - from the Washington Post, it looks at decisions Trump has made and whether there is a precedent
Hello Internet - hosted by two YouTubers based in the UK (one is American, one Australian), itās about anything and everything. Lots of internet culture, but loads of other fun stuff. Worth listening from the start so a lot of the in-jokes may be tough.
99% Invisible - Itās about design, but not just the way that first comes to mind.
Slateās Culture Gabfest and NPRās Pop Culture Happy Hour - two weekly podcasts that cover the latest movies/tv/books/cultural releases. Really really good, and often helps me decide to go see movies I wouldnāt have otherwise bothered with.
The Joe Rogan Experience podcast is a great way to lose some time. Heās surprisingly insightful in a lot of really interesting topics, and has a wealth of equally interesting and insightful guests. The conversation can take some very random yet interesting turns.
I used to produce a few so liked to listen to lots of different styles and topics to get a taste for what others were doing, then kept on listening and adding over the years. I do regularly delete any if I go for a few weeks without listening to any new episodes. Marc Marronās WTF often gets taken off my subscriptions until I see a tweet about him talking to someone I really like, then I get back on it.
Debra Newell is a successful interior designer. She meets John Meehan, a handsome man who seems to check all the boxes: attentive, available, just back from a year in Iraq with Doctors Without Borders. But her family doesnāt like John, and they get entangled in an increasingly complex web of love, deception, forgiveness, denial, and ultimately, survival. Reported and hosted by Christopher Goffard from the L.A. Times.
Laura Kuennssberg and Katya Adler join Adam Fleming and Chris Mason for some geeky gossip about Brexit from Westminster and Brussels (warning: there may be some biscuit chat).
Iām a big fan of No Dumb Questions with Destin from SmarterEveryDay and Matt from 10 Minute Bible hour from YouTube, a rocket scientist and Pastor talking about life and views. Might sound boring but actually very interesting topics.
