True crime is having a moment – or maybe more of an hour. From Netflix specials like Making a Murderer to the 2019 Bundy biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, there’s a plethora of grizzly content to consume. If you’re keen to hop on the bandwagon but can’t face being clobbered by patriarchal reporting, this one’s for you. Here’s a handful of true crime podcasts that won’t make your feminism shudder…
This is a podcast about porn. You might think that listening to a (rich) straight white man talk about the porn industry would be eye-rollingly irritating, but in this podcast series Ronson takes a refreshingly holistic approach…
Has early adulthood got you questioning every decision you’ve ever made? Are you having a quarter-life crisis? You’re not alone! There’s a podcast for that.
This week, we’re departing from the celebrity interview and recommending NPR’s podcast documentary, Believed. This series takes a deep dive into the case of Larry Nassar, the Olympics gymnastics doctor who was last year convicted of serial child molestation and sexual assault, in the midst of the #MeToo movement. He’s currently serving 40 – 175 years in a Michigan state prison.
In the midst of the dark January days this year, something magical happened; David Tennant launched a podcast. Former (and arguably, favourite) Doctor Who, beloved Broadchurch detective and Marvel villain, Tennant is a national favourite, and I for one was thrilled to hear his delectably soothing Scottish syllables grace the podcast-sphere.
When I saw that Jonathan Van Ness had interviewed Jameela Jamil for his podcast Getting Curious this week, I knew it was going to be glorious. Queer Eye’s resident hair guru and all-round wholesome shiny star, Jonathan is an effervescent interviewer, but he doesn’t shy away from the serious. He met with the actress and activist to talk body image, self-love, and her role as the loveably snobbish and extraordinarily elegant Tahani, on NBC’s The Good Place.
Happy Place is comforting, reassuring and informative; it’s a breath of fresh air. Fearne has had a spectacular selection of guests (all of whom are public figures), including Matt Haig, Poorna Bell, Russell Brand, Kirsty Young and most recently, Natalie Dormer.
Hosted by author, broadcaster and journalist Elizabeth Day, How to Fail is dedicated to discussing exactly that. Day asks her guests to bring a few of their most significant failures to the table, and in return, she helps them to explore how these failures have led to success. In this first episode, Day meets with actress, writer and director (not to mention, superhero of feminist comedy) Phoebe Waller-Bridge…
This week’s #PodcastPick is episode 63 of Cariad Lloyd’s Griefcast! For a little context about the show, it’s not as sad as it sounds. A comedian herself, Cariad presents the podcast with her usual quick and whimsical wit. She approaches these discussions of grief with both kindness and curiosity; her interest in the emotion stemming from the death of her father when she was 15.
