Podcasts worth listening to

Being cluelessly amateurish, and ignorant to your guests? I’m not sure. American talk shows are a pretty big deal; lots of people watch them, the hosts are household names and they can make people stars.

Skateboarders only talking about skateboarding gets pretty boring so I’m glad they go off on tangents, but again, it always leaves Chris Roberts completely out of his depth.

Anyway, who cares, he’s got bright people around him, and Kelly Hart.

He comes across as a nice guy. I really enjoyed that part he put out where it was him just speeding around doing ollies and shuv it’s wearing shell toes.

Is anyone listening to Today in Focus’ mini series about the Freshwater Five? Really fascinating case which I wasn’t familiar with before now. It’s quite like Serial in many regards. Very interested to hear about the result of the appeal.

I’ll give that a listen. It’s fairly local to me and so I was aware of the case. Also saw this on tv at some point -

It always seemed more than a bit sketchy. It looks like things might work out in the end though.

This one seems to be doing the rounds a lot of late as there are quite a few parallels with the skateboarding programs at big brands in here:

Just enjoyed listening to this…
Mat Lloyd talking to Helena Long.

Great one, Lenoce is really sound.
The Cyrus Bennett episode was weird, dude speaks really slowly and seems so depressed.
Started listening to the Marisa episode today, she’s just great.

Yeah, the Cyrus one was a snooze fest, I couldn’t make it through the EP.

TLB was a good one too.

Yeah, I’ve listened to a few of these. Solid.

Latest Adam Buxton pod with Lee Mack is the best thing I’ve listened to in a while. Might give Mack’s pod a go as well now.

For some reason, I just can’t get on board with Lee Mack.
I just get the vibes that he’s a vile, snide, little scrote.
An unfunny jeans and shoes pub bore wanker.

Really dislike him too. Always seemed massively out his depth on panel shows like HIGNFY.

“Ooh, I don’t know about boring politics, but who remembers square crisps?!”

I dunno, he seems pretty quick on panel shows. I kinda like him in a way.

I wasn’t into him either for a long while but had a complete u-turn a few years ago, forget why now exactly but he’s cleverer than I’d previously given him credit for and very quick as you say.

I like him.

In a world of comedians pushing agendas or trying to go for shock value he’s keeping slapstick and puns alive.
