My Perfect Podcast: Marc Jennings
In this column, we ask a pod person about the ’casts that mean a lot to them. This month, it’s comedian Marc Jennings, co-host of Some Laugh, a podcast where topics big and small are explored with fellow comedy folk

Which podcast educates you? I like to listen to mad American leftie podcasts like TrueAnon and Chapo Trap House, which help make sense of politics and current events in a refreshingly insightful and funny way. I’ve also been enjoying watching Gary’s Economics on YouTube, for similar reasons.
Which podcast makes you laugh? Bad Boys Done Good. The hosts, comedians Joe Jacobs and Tom Ward, are in character as Tony Soprano and Ray Winstone respectively, which makes hearing guests have to answer probing questions about politics, culture or the ‘stigmata’ around men’s mental health absolutely hilarious. It’s a great send-up of podcast interviews in general and one of the funniest things I’ve heard in ages.
Which podcast makes you sad or angry? The Rest Is Politics. It’s baffling so many folk want to listen to some failed Tory leadership candidate and the guy who’s responsible for selling the Iraq War. As far as I’m concerned, their listeners should be called Weapons Inspectors.
Which podcast is your guilty pleasure? The Rest Is Politics.
Tell us someone who currently doesn’t have a podcast but totally should. And why do you think their one would be amazing? Luigi Mangione. Although I think he might already have one with Mike Rice.
Pitch us a new podcast idea in exactly 25 words A show called Whydeology which explores various different ideologies and how they’ve led us to the state of the world we have now. Don’t steal.
Some Laugh is available on all the usual platforms; Marc Jennings: Marc'sism is on tour until Sunday 29 June; Marc Jennings: Bread And Circuses is at Monkey Barrel, Edinburgh, Monday 28 July–Sunday 24 August.
