For the second year The List is recording our own Edinburgh Festivals podcast, this year titled Festival City Podcast. It's released throughout August and features recommendations from our reviewers, performer interviews, live music and the musings of our host and theatre editor, Gareth K Vile.

All the cool kids have a podcast these days and at the Fringe you can be part of the illustrious live audience. Here's our pick of the podcasts recording episodes during August
