The Football Ramble is a good one, if you’re into football anyway. It’s a more light hearted review of games.

The Luke and Pete Show is good also, basically just 2 mates just chatting about anything and everything that listeners email in with really. It’s a good listen

Quickly Kevin will he score? Is another quite amusing football podcast (if you don't like Josh Widdecome don't bother looking it up).
Its about 90s football and has some great guests.

I’ll search this one out only just seen the reply as I searched for the thread.

Give Athletico Mince with Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson, it’s a very typical Bob Mortimer piss take on ‘football’ ish type stuff. If you’re a fan of his it’s laugh out loud funny.

Does anyone else enjoy My Dad Wrote A Porno? I think it's the funniest thing in the world (have just finished listening to the first book).

Just finished listening to episode 3 series 3.
Not one to listen to with the kids or your Great aunt. Very very funny especially when Belinda blinks

I hyperventilated at “microwaving the mulled wine” - was sore for days.

Just started listening to S Town, it’s by the makers of Serial. It’s brilliant so far.

I generally can't stand Josh Widdecombe, but I think Quickly Kevin is really good. All the guests have been very good.

Series three of Malcolm Gladwell's 'Revisionist History' is up now. Very good stuff.

Am I alone in having difficulty downloading podcasts such as Motorsport and Adam Buxton from ITunes for the last couple of months?

I've found an alternative site to download Adam Buxton, but only a streaming site for Motorsport.

[Mezzanine]

I subscribe to both and have had no trouble at all.

Updated your pod catcher software at all? I subscribed and re-subscribed etc?

[niva441]

Thanks for the tips.

I tend to use my ancient Ipod in the office, so am locked to iTunes (unless anyone has any alternative). The only alternative I found for Motorsport was a streaming site (Acast I think). I'm trying to avoid updating ITunes as last time it just added lots of problems, sorry new features, and never worked properly.

I'll have another go at resubscribing, but think I may have already tried it.

Thanks

I subscribe to a lot but my favourites are;

Risk! - Storytelling, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, usually NSFW, worth a listen if you aren't easily offended
Criminal - A slightly different take on a true crime podcast, and the presenter has the most soothing voice
Serial - As pointed out before, brilliant gripping podcast
My Dad Wrote A Porno - Season 4 soon and I can't wait always listen to it straight away on a Monday morning
Mortified - Similar to risk, my wife has recently started listening and I really enjoy it
Car Talk - Loud americans talk about cars for an hour

The Teachers pet anyone ?

I have really got into Quickly Kevin will he score (great 90’s bit of commentary). Anyone who grew up in the 90’s who loved footy will find it hilarious.

I'm currently working through a podcast called Caliphate.

It's by the journalist Rukmini Callimachi (https://twitter.com/rcallimachi) and it's a fascinating insight into how ISIS came about, how they attract(ed) members and what life was like on the inside of ISIS controlled territory.

It includes interviews with former ISIS members and the last episode I listened was recorded on the front line during the battle to re-take Mosul. It's compelling stuff.

Had a few weeks without a car so got into these. Really good insight into 90’s football and plenty of times found myself laughing out loud.

Ooh. Good thread.

I'm a podcast newb and got turned on to athletico mince off the back of another thread on here. Listened to all 60odd over the last 6 weeks or so. Much more entertaining than the radio.

Lots to go at in here! Nice one.

S1 was excellent.

Excellent. I really enjoyed S1.
There's some great stuff about at the moment.
