There’s a good one from Dimbleby about the Gulf war, the build up, the war and the aftermath, it’s in 9 parts but it’s very good.

I was only joking. 
 

But I’ve read a few times that he’s a consummate professional too.  Turns up on time, knows his lines and is super nice to all the people behind the camera (have I said this before?) I think Frank Skinner was especially nice about him and he’s a right miserable cunt (that’s why I like him). 
 

Ive listened to the Sia one now and it’s good too.  She’s got an amazing voice (this may not be news) 

 

Frank Skinner who was a teacher in a catholic school and fucked a former pupil? With allegations there were ‘flirtations’ earlier.

Frankie Boyle on Louis Theroux is a good listen. The most surprising part is how effeminate he sounds in real life.

[Elite]

Any other good podcasts that focus on interviews with famous people or even interesting people?

 

I already follow James O'Brien, Adam Buxton, Louis Theroux, Colin Murray.

The Comedians Comedian was a good one. Not sure if it’s still going. Does what it says on the tin.

Mea Culpa was a good listen initially, even if just to listen to Cohen take the piss out of trump. 
 

But he’s a fucking scumbag too and I hate the love for him just because he’s going after another cunt.

Doug Stanhope podcast is great if you like him and his style of comedy. And there's loads of them going back years.

An Irishman abroad is usually worth a listen.

I've been listening to radio rental a light hearted podcast of short creepy stories sent in by people all supposedly true. Its a jokey kind of creepy video shop owner playing you his stories. So you hear about people who had close calls with seriel killers and shit.

 

One that made me laugh was a guys workmate went on holiday to Russia he was in his 50s, grey hair middle aged man but when he came back from Russia he had dyed his hair was dressed like an 80s russian mobster, chest hair medallion the works and had a Russian accent, he even spoke Russian. People though it was funny at first thinking he was taking the piss and then they felt uncomfortable when he was still doing it days later and thought what the fucks going on. He got sacked, his kids were fucking terrified of him to the point everyone was thinking this isn't him it must be a twin or some kind of manchurian candidate. He ended up being arrested and it turned out he was a paranoid schizophrenic and when he went to Russia he forgot his medication , over the course of the holiday he began to believe he was Russian and took on a whole new persona.

Just found Ross Kemp has a podcast called Kempcast, quick scan and he's got some great guests.

[Elite]

Just listened the Neil Woods episode on Kempcast, brilliant.

 

One for you @Rico1304 as a fan of his books.

Any good politics ones?

Politics, Theory, Other is prettty good from a serious aspect, and Alexei Sayle’s is good from both comedic and serious viewpoint.

[Dr Arthur De Sabre]

Hunting Ghislaine by John Sweeney is also decent.

Sweeney does my head in at times (when he talks politics), but he’s a good investigative journo

[Elite]

Anything Goes with James English is good. There's quite a few interviews with hardened criminals on there if you're interested in that kind of stuff, like listening to a Craig Fairbrass character coming to life.

[Juniper]

Can’t remember who recommended it as it was on another thread but I’ve been listening to ‘The Gravy Train’ when out walking the dogs and it’s been great.

 

8 part series on the troubled/outspoken drug taking/crack smoking former major of Toronto - Rob Ford.

 

Pretty much details his approach to politics and specifically the role of the press very similar to Trump. 
 

Props to whoever suggested it on this forum.
 

It’s been really good, gutted I’m on the final episode.

Some good ones on there. Darren Gee is in some dire need of mental health intervention. 

 

Billy Moore with Molly 'Meatball' McCann is a good watch. Molly just comes across as a boss person. 

 

Leg It Podcast is good as well. They got a load of flack for having Deano on (I'd recommend anyone to watch those two episodes no matter your beliefs on things) Michael Shields has been a guest as well (if not already mentioned)

 

Some of other shows I find good to have on. 

Tim Dillon Show.

Thank you, have some rep sir 

[niallers]

Stuff you should know,  stuff they don't want you to know,  Daniel and Jorge explain the universe, startalk with Neil degrasse tyson, the naked scientists, the history of World War 2 by Ray Harris and the origins podcast with Laurence krauss. All very good in my humblest of opinions

[Kevin D]

I've been listening to the Age of Napoleon podcast and it's been outstanding so far. There are 70 episodes so far and they come out monthly, although I'm only around episod 23. It's very detailed, but it's about a fascinating time and person so everything still moves briskly.

 

Also been listening to Tides of History, which is really good. Episodes are more of a mixed bag , because they jump from country to country. They've got Vlad the Impaler, War of the Roses, Queen Isabella, the Italian wars, Charles V and the Ottomans, so something for everyone.

Came across this site and podcasts. Might be some little gems to inspire once  we hopefully get back to a world where travel is possible.

Im still none the wiser about what him and James English fell out over. He seemed to love him one minute and then think he was a nonce the next. The Ayahuasca documentary is decent too, watching people taking the retreat really serious and then him, just being fucked and laughing.

 

The first Paul Smith interview with Billy Moore was great. 

[Elite]

The ex-hardman circuit (mostly Shaun Attwood and James English podcasts) are funny as fuck as they are all arguing on YouTube proclaiming to be 'real' and calling each other nonces and all sorts.

 

I prefer the ex-police episodes as opposed to the ex-cons but you do get the odd interesting episode. 

[Lee909]

Al Murray and James Holland - We have ways of making you talk. 

 

Just started listening, good WW2 podcast 

[Lee909]

Listening to a couple of good history podcasts at the moment. 

 

Big 4 parter on the life of Crazy Horse and another 4 parter on Teddy Roosevelt. Quiet a interesting character to say the least. I think he would be getting cancelled by everyone today. Definitely a man of his time but some excellent policies and some quiet horrific thoughts on 'less civilised races'. I guess it shows sometime judging historic figures or decisions tofay is just impossible 

 

Both on the History on Fire podcast
