As a seasoned podcast listener, I must say that this collection of podcasts caters to a wide array of interests and preferences. From the light-hearted banter between father and daughter in “Object Diaries” to the hard-hitting investigative journalism in “The Bunny Trap”, there’s something for everyone.

Over the past few years, there’s been a growing trend of former cast members extensively analyzing popular American TV shows. Now, it seems this practice is starting to take hold in the UK as well. In this series, we delve into the classic British sitcom ‘Allo ‘Allo!, which originally aired from 1982-1992. The cast members, including Kim Hartman (Helga), Guy Siner (Lieutenant Gruber), and Richard Gibson (Herr Flick), gather in a kitchen to discuss the creation of the show. They share how Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft conceived ‘Allo ‘Allo! as a spoof of BBC’s wartime drama, ‘Secret Army’. This informal discussion has now reached its third series, yet the trio still find time to answer fan questions and welcome special guests who discuss the show’s lasting impact. TOM GOULDING

In the limelight, graced by Lucy Andrews and Holly Mead, this fresh podcast from The Times faced an uphill battle in delivering on its title’s promise as it dove into the first budget presented by a female Chancellor. The discounted pint wouldn’t make much of a difference for the listener I imagine, who is grappling with deciding between contributions to her private pension or another round of Lady Petrol.

From December 10th to the 29th, 2005, Channel 4 viewers found themselves captivated by an extraordinary deception: 12 contestants were led to believe they were undergoing cosmonaut training at a Russian military base. In actuality, they were situated in a meticulously arranged former airfield in Suffolk. The producers spared no effort, even ensuring that no British trash was blown into the vicinity. This six-part series interviews some of those involved. Was it groundbreaking television or psychologically harmful? – ANNA JONES

Rivals: the Official Podcast

If you haven’t been captivated by the delightful Disney+ adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s steamy novel on these chilly nights, I’m at a loss for what could possibly charm you instead. The charismatic podcaster Pandora Sykes exudes joy as she welcomes key figures to reminisce about some of the most enthralling moments, assuming you’ve already devoured all eight episodes. Alex Hassell delves into the “Ruperting” escapades, while Danny Dyer recounts how his former EastEnders director, now the showrunner in Rutshire, managed to convince him to embody Freddie. FIONA HUGHES (paraphrased as) I, a film enthusiast, can’t help but recommend this captivating Disney+ adaptation if you’re seeking entertainment on these cold evenings. Pandora Sykes radiates delight as she invites principal figures to recollect some of the most exhilarating scenes, under the assumption that you’ve already binge-watched all eight episodes. Alex Hassell discusses the “Ruperting” incidents, while Danny Dyer shares how his former EastEnders supervisor, now the showrunner in Rutshire, persuaded him to portray Freddie. FIONA HUGHES

It seems that no matter how much Danny Dyer’s podcast one listens to in a week, it’s never enough. In their first episode, Danny and his daughter Dani discuss family matters (Dani’s recent engagement, Danny’s wife/Danielle’s mother Jetset Jo) before moving on to debating conspiracy theories and kitchen tools. Somehow, they even manage to discuss who built the Pyramids. They share their humor without ridiculing each other. However, if you find their language inappropriate, it might be best to avoid this podcast.

Question Everything with Brian Reed
https://open.spotify.com/watch?v=episode/2bOtajvxAZQSFvAZ25kiTn
Brian Reed’s series on journalism explores introspection on a broad level, or simply put, it’s a deep self-evaluation. Regardless of the perspective you choose, it’s clear that this series is sincere, which isn’t surprising given the somber nature of much of the American media. It’s unfortunate that journalists, not just Donald Trump, face criticism, and as the creator of the popular podcast “S-Town“, Reed feels compelled to respond. SIMON O’HAGAN

Unfit for Service
https://open.spotify.com/watch?v=episode/0Ifpf7DNii9i3PkxXs7YzQ
From 1994 to 2011, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was the U.S. policy regarding those in military service, aiming to avoid discrimination against LGBT personnel. However, as this series shows, it took a significant amount of time for change to occur. Major General Randy Taylor, the highest-ranking openly gay officer in the U.S. military, is the primary focus, but other stories are equally striking, particularly the graphic depiction of the brutal murder of a gay man by his fellow soldiers in the first episode. This is a challenging yet crucial listen. ANNA JONES

The Bunny Trap

This report presents severe accusations towards a glamour photographer from Venezuela, who worked in the UK four years back. His identity and the magazine he contributed to are disclosed. Multiple models have asserted that this individual sexually harassed them during photoshoots. While there’s substantial evidence through text messages, no official charges have been filed against him. After these allegations surfaced, journalist Ellie Flynn started investigating individuals linked to the photographer. The content is quite explicit. David McGillivray

Object Diaries

In our daily lives, we all tend to keep various items close – journals, photos, keepsakes from childhood. These objects serve as tangible links to our past, shaping who we are in the present. Sparked by heartfelt discussions with her deceased father about the contents of his old cigar box, Lisa Weiss embarks on a journey to uncover personal stories associated with an object that symbolizes a pivotal moment in someone’s life. For one mother and daughter, it’s a hidden journal that strained and ultimately strengthened their bond, while for a Rohingya refugee, the cherished item is merely a single sheet of paper.
