What do we listen to? Any hidden gems you'd recommend?

I regularly listen to;

The Football Ramble
Serial
This American Life
WTF with Marc Maron
Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (The last series was a bit shit but it's free so who cares)
The Smartest Man in the World by Greg Proops

Any 'Your Mom's House' listeners on here with super high and tight denim?

Other hit and miss ones include Joe Rogan's podcast and Distraction Pieces by Scroobius Pip.

Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast (The last series was a bit shit but it's free so who cares)

Been listening to RHLSTP (as the cool kids call it) for years, I've been a fan since Fist of Fun, which you must be too young to remember. He's done so many podcasts he's running out of people to interview.

Others I listen to:

Kermode/Mayo film reviews
Neil Degrasse tyson - Star Talk (science stuff)
Guardian Football Weekly.
Infinite Monkey Cage (Prof Brian Cox & Robin Ince plus guests)
Book Shambles (Robin Ince & Josie Long plus guests)
Real Time with Bill Maher (just the audio track of his TV show, so you miss the visual stuff)
No Such Thing as a Fish - QI Elves
Comedian's Comedian - Stuart Goldsmith. Lots of interviews with comedians, most you won't have heard of.

The Bugle seems to be back, but monthly now rather than weekly.

I'll give Book Shambles a listen, I liked Utter Shambles from a few years ago.

I wanted to like Neil deGrasse Tyson's podcast but I just found it a bit too pleased with itself, if you know what I mean. The ones I listened to just seemed to get derailed by them always trying to make jokes.

AIOTM (AIOTM) could making a come back. Hopefully Lembit Opik is available to do the jokes again.
