This is a decent overview of every US election if you’re into that kind of thing.

Quite enjoying "Betamax Babylon", which is basically two "geezers" discussing 80's action films. Its all very Cockney-Mockney, but Sam Delaney comes up with a few funny remarks per episode, whilst the other fella is just a movie dork. I chuckled frequently at the Commando one in particular. It's 40 minutes of absolute fluff which i can listen to whilst walking the dogs.

How the fuck do you delete listened to podcasts on an iPhone with the recent update? 

You click on the episode, click the menu button (three dots), then delete from library.

Dolly Partons America

Well worth a listen if you like country music

[Rico1304]

Dolly should run the world.

This weeks episode of Quickly Kevin is excellent. 
 

An hour and a half of Henning Wehn just taking the piss out of the Ingurland national team.

Been listening to a load on new history podcast lately. Some good ones about if anyone is interested. 

[Rico1304]

Rylan Clark on Louis Theroux is good, as is Sia (although not listened to all of that yet).  

[Lee909]

These are the history ones I've been listening to. Not got through all of them yet, The Ancients is brilliant and has been eating up most of my time. Only skipped two or three and done all over them in about 7-10 days. So many interesting subjects especially the ones on Pompei, Marcus Agrippa, Poison, Irish at Waterloo

Bombshell, The Bugle, The Political Party, Politico insider (will start soon, but the guy knows his way around Westminster), Pod Save The World/America, Politically Reactive are all good and detailed, but not too heavy.

 

The BBC, Guardian, Economist and New Statesman all have good ones as well, especially The Economist which tend to be short(ish) but really informative.

Just listened to the Political Party episode with Mandelson, fascinating stuff.

I'm no fan of the reality TV celebrities as they are annoying as fuck but the interview was very insightful into the processes for these shows and the affect it has on the wannabee Z Listers. Rylan knows how to play the system perfectly though and you only have to see his house on celebrity Gogglebox to know he makes a fucking fortune. So fair play, he comes across as a sound bloke as well.

Yeah, Mrs met him a couple of years ago when he turned the Christmas lights on, said he was lovely.

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)

Another vote for Rylan here, seems to be a really good bloke. I like Sia, crazy good voice on her.

In this podcast she sings just a couple of lines about twice, but it’s like FUCKING HELL. As someone with no talent at all it amazes me.
