In this column we ask a pod person about the ’casts that mean a lot to them. This month, it’s Seann Walsh whose collaboration with Jack Dee, entitled Oh My Dog!, finds the pair talking about all things canine

Which podcast educates you? 

Real Dictators. Paul McGann really seems to know his stuff when it comes to very bad men.

Which podcast makes you laugh? 

TVI hosted by my friends Julian Deane and Carl Donnelly. It stands for Two Vegan Idiots but has absolutely nothing to do with vegans! 

Which podcast makes you sad or angry? 

Desert Island Discs makes me cry. The ones with Kathy Burke, Ray Winstone and Micky Flanagan really got me. Desert Island Discs is the original podcast and it’s perfect. I don’t think you can top it unless you made one where you got to know people via their relationships with their dogs co-hosted by Jack Dee . . . oh wait.

Is there a podcast you’d describe as a guilty pleasure? 

Wrestling podcasts. I shouldn’t be going public with this but I have an encyclopaedic knowledge of wrestling between 1994 and 2001 and there are several podcasts lasting up to three hours an episode where people in wrestling reflect on the business at that time. I put these on at night to help me get to sleep because it’s like going back to a moment I loved when I was younger. I have shared too much. This is turning into therapy. Do I need to pay you at the end of this session? 

Who doesn’t have a podcast but should? 

Hugh Grant, who would say everything he thinks about every person in the public eye. Excluding myself because I’m too sensitive. 

Can you pitch us a new podcast in exactly 43 words [it’s usually 20, but Seann bent the rules here somewhat]? 

WOTOYF, a podcast hosted by someone from BBC Three (young and pointlessly smiley, beaming with questionable glee and innocence, unburnt by the flaming hardships of life) asking men that have just lost everything in a big divorce: what’s on top of your fridge?

Oh My Dog! episodes can be heard at ohmydogpodcast.com; Seann Walsh performs at The Stand New Town Theatre in August as part of the Edinburgh Fringe.
