7 True Crime Podcasts That Do Women Justice
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…
#PodcastPick – The Butterfly Effect with Jon Ronson
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…
#PodcastPick – Nobody Panic: How to Care Way Less About Life Milestones
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.
#PodcastPick – David Tennant Does a Podcast with…Olivia Colman
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.

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.

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…
#PodcastPick - The Adam Buxton Podcast: Episode 85
Ever since podcasts burst onto the popular culture scene, we’ve been avid audio consumers. To help our fellow podcats stay in the loop, we’ll be recommending a specific episode that we’ve loved every fortnight. This week, we returned to an old favourite, The Adam Buxton Podcast, for a slightly surprising episode with author and journalist, Michael Scott Moore…
Serial Killers and Sequins with Kiri Pritchard-Mclean
Pritchard-Mclean is unafraid to take on subjects that are tricky to navigate, be it trashing serial killers on her podcast, or finding the humour in her experience of volunteering with vulnerable children for her stand-up show Appropriate Adult. What’s brilliant about her is that she is always careful to ensure that her jokes are hitting the right target.
