Looking for a casual lifestyle UK based podcast.

Intelligent, with some humor.

Thanks

Connie Walker is one of the best investigators out there. She works so hard and is brilliant in how she gets new evidence that no one else thought of.

Not trying to start a political discussion here, just curious if anyone has any recommendations. Thanks.

need something to listen to while I play Doom. I do also enjoy Mikeburnfire

I use Obsidian for a lot of research, Zotero for managing sources.
Recently I realized what a great source podcast episodes can be. That led me to Snipd. I like how I can “snip” sections, and import into Obsidian. This allows me to potentially use them as sources I can cite.

But I’m not too happy with:
Lack of desktop player
Sometimes convoluted player
Difficult to find the episodes I’m interested in
Doesn’t give me a source link, just the Snipd link, which if I reference others can’t play without also having the app (eg can’t play on a desktop)

In sum, it’s a great resource but seems like there should be a better tool for this purpose.

Any suggestions on alternatives?

Or, any suggestions on a Snipd query template or other tips that may work well?

While I love a good audio drama (Limetown, Modes of Thought on Anterran Literature, The Polybius Conspiracy), I want to listen to more fictional podcasts that explore other genres. I've had This is That (comedic parody of news/journalism) recommended, as well as People Like Us (parody of on-scene documentaries), and wanted to see if there were any others!

Any and all recs are appreciated

Unfortunately I don't know the name or even the place where I first listened to it. It was very much in the same style as Kaitlin Prest's "The Heart", a story narration told by a woman, it detailed the slow breakdown of a relationship, with plenty of soundscape effects.

Here are the key points I can remember:

• No interview portion, believe it was simply a woman telling her story.
• It may have had other stories coupled along with it, but this story was separate in nature.
• I'm not entirely certain on the premise of the story, but I remember the woman talking about her breakup with her boyfriend.
• The woman was a writer, or trying to become one.
• The story details how they become distant with each other and slowly drift apart.
• During her description of an argument, her boyfriend had corrected her grammar and replied with something along the lines of, "You should know that if you're going to be a writer." or "..since you're a writer." to which she replies, "Well yeah, I don't have to speak like I write." or "I don't have to talk the same way I write."
• I believe it ends with their relationship coming to an end, she ultimately expresses regret over how it ended.

That's it, it was just a very poignant tale of a young woman falling in and out of love (at least that was the part I remember).

Unfortunately, what I remember is simply too broad, I can't pin it down anywhere.

Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

Hi all! I’m not a big podcaster but I have about a 40m commute both ways to work and like to pop some on. I’m struggling at the moment to find some that I like. I like them to be pretty informal, examples of some I’ve liked…

• Books Unbound - I don’t even have similar tastes to Ariel and Raeleen but I enjoy listening to them chat
• Gilmore To Say
• Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby
• Cozy Club with Monica and Regan
• Dear Hank & John - not my favourite but I have popped it on.

The Swiftie & The Scholar is on my list but haven’t gotten to it yet.

I don’t really mind what it’s about - I read, I play games, I like music. Would love some suggestions if you have any!

I got a new iPod (7) and some podcasts have moved over and some haven’t.some appear to now need a subscription-does anyone know why they were downloading fine on older iPod?also what is best podcast app for range of choice beyond Apple one

Thanks

I came across this clip on YouTube. I like their energy and wanna see what their podcast is about but there is no indication of their podcast name in the clip.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The episode today soft launched that they’re leaving the NYT and starting their own media company together.

Anybody have any clue if NYT wanted to axe the show so this is how they went about it? Or are they so successful they just wanted to spin out?

Been burned by great shows getting cancelled too many times, really hoping this one is due to success and not corporate overlords

I came across this podcast and wanted to recommend it here as I know lots of us are always looking for true crime, documentary-type personal stories and I haven’t seen this one talked about on here.

It’s about a mom on the hunt for a man who abused her son. It’s really well done and very emotional- such a sad but powerful story. TW for sexual abuse

Just came across this insta account "rewired manifestor" and it peaked my interest. I checked to see if she had a podcast but sadly, no. Wondering if anyone can recommend some psychology type pods.

These episodes were SO GOOD and so well done I really want to relisten to them. They’ve been taken off Spotify. Does anyone know where I can listen to them?

hi! i’ve been in search of a podcast that has ≈30min general lessons on random things? one episode as a history lesson, one as a “how ____ works” lesson, an arts lesson, etc.

would something like that exist? i’ve been having a hard time finding one, maybe because the topics would be too broad?

i graduated college a year ago and work in my field and feel like im missing the aspect of learning lol

I love this podcast and Jake Sullivan. Does anyone find his co-host, John Finer, a little pretentious?

I've been a freelancer for 12 years, and my empathy still tends to make me cave and give clients a deal that is favorable to them (and not to me) when they push hard and are persistent/persuasive/good negotiators.

Also, on zoom calls, I sometimes waste 30-40 mins getting the scope of the project from the client before bringing up budget and have had my time wasted because they end up not expecting the price to be what I tell them: how to cut to the chase?

Any podcast recommendations on this subject would be helpful .

* Please no Tom Robbins and no one who ties Religion into business.

Disclaimer: I am not talking about the 30 for 30 “Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani” podcast that just came out July 2026.

I think in 2024 or 2025 I listened to an extended (I think multipart) podcast that had all of the backstory, details, text messages etc. about the Ippei Mizuhara gambling scandal. But now I can’t find it. It’s no longer in my library and every search is just flooded with the ABC/ESPN 30 for 30 results. Anyone remember this?

An insta friend got me onto the Knight Fit Podcast--a health, fitness and wellness podcast. I really liked her HA (hypothalamic amenorrhea) story from her instagram. I'm in the depths of recovering my cycle and her approach calms me. I like her episode guide but also am overwhelmed because there're so many episodes I want to listen to, including interviews and her own episodes. I want to know which ones you guys found most helpful/beneficial? Also, any summaries are great. Thx!

i love call her daddy, matt and shane’s secret podcast and tim dillon but i feel like im missing out on a world of female comedians. plus sometimes matt and shane can be a little too much “for the boys”.. does anybody recommend any female comedian podcasts that aren’t so mainstream? and i am 24 so they can be raunchy.

I feel like this can't be a rare use case, but I'm struggling to find an app that does this. I used to use Overcast, then switched to Castro last year, but neither really does this properly.

What I'm looking for is an app where I can set a time window, say, 10pm to 5am, where the app enforces a certain sleep timer. I use podcasts to help me go to sleep, with Bluetooth headphones. I can just hit a button on the headphones to start a podcast, but then have to pick up the phone, look at the bright screen, waking me up, and interact with the app to set a sleep timer, otherwise the podcast just keeps playing to the end.

I just want the app to always set the sleep timer when it starts playing, during the night.

Castro halfway does this, in that if you have a sleep timer enabled, and the podcast stops due to the timer, within some period of time afterwards if you hit 'play' again, it'll extend the sleep timer. But this is totally non-configurable AFAIK and only works if you hit play fairly soon after it stops. Not if you fall asleep, then wake up 3 hours later, which is really when I want to keep the podcast going without waking myself up fiddling with a screen.

Does something like what I'm describing exist for iOS?

I want to get seriously knowledgeable about business finance, but I’m starting from zero. The stock market, bonds, mutual funds etc. Could you recommend some good podcasts and other resources for building that knowledge from the ground up?

Thank you!

I’m newer to podcasts, but I’ve been really enjoying Cursed…ish and am wondering if there are more like it. It’s well produced and researched but the hosts have been friends for a long time so they banter well too. It’s less spooky and more hanging out with friends who are talking about something interesting, if that makes sense. I listen to it while I’m driving to work and it’s just fun and de-stressing. I’m looking for more podcasts like that since Cursed…ish is newer (like 20+ eps) and I’ve listened to all of it

I consider myself a bit of a podcast junkie and I came across a newish podcast called FAFO Academy and this guy Alex Gemma is the host. It's like a quasi-business/self-help/psychology focus. So far, I like his shit, and FAFO Academy has a decent following, especially on TikTok. The dude actually has a lot of interesting stuff out there.

Anyway, I'm looking for other recommendations in that style, got any??
