Broken Record is more miss than hit, aside from one episode which was so damn interesting where Rick Rubin interviewed Andre 3000. Andre just let it all out, it was fascinating and you really felt for him throughout it all.

I know it’s been mentioned elsewhere on the boards (and rightly so) but realised it hadn’t been explicitly mentioned here so I thought I’d do so.

There’s a new series of Articles of Interest, the sub-podcast of 99% Invisible, which is ostensibly about fashion. The latest one, about perfume, is absolutely astonishing, properly opened my mind in a way I wasn’t expecting. It’s only about 25 minutes long, so definitely worth listening to.

Supernova V was just released and frankly the stuff at about an hour into it about what soldiers had to deal with is incredibly powerful. It’s a great series though so worth going back to listen to all of it

John Oliver making a return to the Bugle has honestly made my month.

For fans of the wonderfully weird Joe Thomas episode of Off Menu, there’s a short bonus Christmas episode where they get him together with Willie from Willie’s Perfect Chocolate Christmas to discuss the lamb burial. Excellent stuff.

I think there’s a whole thread for this but yeah great stuff. It’s amazing how closely the guy could recreate the song as well

That’s true but also it’s interesting how much better the real one was. Like people hearing his cover were sceptical of it being a song good enough for the radio and rightly so but when you hear the real version at the end it’s like, “Oh yeah, this could have been on the radio”.

It is interesting how popular music changes over the years so rapidly i enjoyed the guy being surprised people thought it sounded like Barenaked Ladies as well when it really did

For the 100th ep of Off Menu James and Ed are doing their own menus.

James gives a big shout out to Tebay services :smiley:

Getting into Mike Wozniak’s podcast, first two episodes have been strong so far

It’s so good, quite fun working out who the guests are too (a fair few of them don’t appear under their own name) There’s one which features a “vape dealer” that’s one of the funniest things I’ve heard.

I posted this in the Taskmaster thread already but I’m enjoying this old one with Diane Morgan too, only 6 episodes though

Nice reminder of what live comedy used to be like

Been getting into the Beef and Dairy Network stuff recently due to Wozniak’s regular appearances as well as some other big names (Miles Jupp, Ed Gamble, Katy Wix etc). Surreal Chris Morris-esque comedy posing as a newsletter all about the beef industry.

Anyway I’m only about a dozen episodes into it so far but this cooking episode with ‘TV’s Mr Beef’ is absolutely wonderful
