My Perfect Podcast: Harry Hill

Which podcast educates you? Gone Medieval with Matt Lewis. He knows pretty much everything about all of history and presents it like an easily digestible food: a bit like a really good soup. Fact soup.

Which podcast makes you laugh? There’s the big one, Off Menu with Ed and James. Their Robert De Niro one was just laugh out loud. He’s a notoriously reticent interviewee, of course, and didn’t really know what the show was, but strangely they managed to get him to talk about all kinds of stuff. Plus you could feel them squirm a bit at the start and we’re squirming with them. The Squirm is actually a really good name for a podcast.

Which podcast makes you sad or angry? Any podcast where dolphins get injured.

Which podcast is your guilty pleasure? I really don’t go for all the ‘guilty pleasure’ stuff. If I wanna listen to something I do. But mainly I don’t.

Tell us someone who currently doesn’t have a podcast but totally should. And why do you think their one would be amazing? CMAT. She’s smart and funny. I can see her with a Saturday night TV show like Cilla used to have. She’s that good. And is also a guest on The Harry Hill Show

Pitch us a new podcast idea in exactly 80 words. Pet Family Trees. Each week, our hosts Liza Tarbuck and supervet Noel Fitzpatrick meet a celeb and their pets. There’ll be a lot of dogs and cats, naturally, but also the odd curveball: Trevor the tortoise, a 30-year-old parrot called Susan and two budgerigars called Ant and Dec. Could they be cousins? What the owners want to know is does JK the Jack Russell have a long-lost sister out there? Is his grandma still alive? Have they always been Essex-based?

New episodes of The Harry Hill Show are available on all the usual platforms every Monday.
