Listening to Gossipmonger with Joe Wilkinson this morning and struggling not to crack up on the train when they do the weird song. Basically people send in random gossip from their lives/local area.

This is so, so funny. The space worm tale is a thing of beauty.

I think they've moved on to a new platform for the latest season and are no longer on Spotify, so I haven't got around to listening to it yet.

Oh really?! Need to find it again. Probably my favourite podcast ever.

Mine too, although I've never been much of a podcast person beyond the old Ricky Gervais ones, so there hasn't been much competition.

Looks like they're all available via the official website: https://play.acast.com/s/gossipmongers

This is a fun cast. Kate Berlant is soo talented. Too bad John Early isn’t on the podcast.

I know Sam Harris is a divisive figure on here, but I’m surprised the Making Sense Podcast hasn’t been mentioned yet. Thanks to @Pogue Mahone for opening my eyes to this one.

Have to agree with those that recommended Athletico Mince too — it’s good fun.

The new Hardcore History is up, just an FYI as they’re quite rare.

Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe's Lockdown Parenting Hell is great fun esp. with guests you know are on.

PG Vogt is leaving Reply All but not sure if it's permanent. Their current series prompted a previous employee to do a Twitter thread detailing how the exact same thing happened at Gimlet and how PJ and Sruthi didn't support/actively blocked their attempt to unionise.

All seems a bit sad. The best episodes are when PJ and Alex are telling each other stories and it's one of the few podcasts I can listen to with just two people chatting. Feels like listening to friends, and I don't think PJ is a bad guy.

Anybody listening to Cautionary Tales podcast by Tim Harford? Its absolutely fascinating. Ep 1 is about a super tanker that took a run turn and the get-there-itis that engulfed the captain when easier options with limited delay presented themselves.
Highly recommended.
