Which podcast educates you? The Bob Lefsetz Podcast. I make no effort to hide the fact that my podcast was and is directly inspired by Bob’s. He divides opinion a bit in the industry but to me he’s just an unbelievably sharp analyst, and to be doing what he’s doing at the age of 70 is quite amazing. The episodes with Paul Anka, Shep Gordon and Lyor Cohen are amazing, but there are so many more great ones.  

Which podcast makes you laugh? This Past Weekend with Theo Von. I just think Von is a comedy genius. He’s a rare example, in the current social-media comedy boom, of someone who lives up to the promise of the TikTok clips in his podcasts and stand-up specials. He’s also a great interviewer. 

Which podcast makes you sad or angry? Bundyville. There’s another show made by Oregon Public Broadcasting called Timber Wars which I could have picked for this section too. Bundyville isn’t about Ted Bundy, it’s about Cliven Bundy and his family’s involvement in land disputes in the western US, the militia movement and far-right politics. Listening to it gives a mixture of sadness, anger and complete fascination. 

Which podcast is your guilty pleasure? Hardcore History. This is only a guilty pleasure because I’ve been re-listening to the episodes constantly for well over ten years. The six-hour episode on nuclear weapons would be my pick for best podcast episode ever. 

Tell us someone who currently doesn’t have a podcast but totally should. And why do you think their one would be amazing? Goldie should definitely have a podcast. I don’t think that really needs explaining, does it? Him and Higgsy.  

Pitch us a new podcast idea in exactly 25 words Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn are locked in a room and not allowed out until they have written the manifesto for a new political party.
