My Perfect Podcast: Anna Sinfield

Which podcast educates you? I like history podcasts on long car journeys. You’re Dead To Me from the BBC makes diving into the past really fun and accessible.

Which podcast makes you laugh? Normal Gossip. Nothing better than listening in on someone’s calamitous drama, knowing it won’t impact you one bit.

Which podcast makes you sad or angry? I make true-crime shows. If done right, they should make you both sad and angry, not just titillated. I remember S-Town having a profound effect on me.  

Which podcast is your guilty pleasure? No guilty pleasures. I’ve gotten hooked on some pretty cheesy audio dramas though… no names!

Who currently doesn’t have a podcast but totally should? Rihanna. If we still can’t get a new album (8.5 years and counting), maybe she can record a podcast instead?

Pitch us a new podcast idea in exactly 25 words A reality TV-style podcast, where (consenting) adults go to a confession booth in a Catholic church and spill all to the priest… and the listeners.

The Girlfriends: Jailhouse Lawyer is available on all the usual platforms.
