Yep. It’s brilliant. I’m only on episode 29 !
Me and two mates listen to it all the time. Have booked tickets to their live show in Belfast. 🍺

Bob Mortimer is quality but the bloke he does it with is fucking awful and seriously unfunny.
Cum Town is good

We have ways. The second world war pod cast with James Holland and Al Murray is good.
13 mins to the moon and Tunnel 29 are great
Finally if you are like Iron Maiden. Wayne Maidens pod cast is very funny

I love(d) Gossip Mongers, but I thought it was really shitty of them to just oust Poppy Hilstead for basically no good reason. (although I'm guessing money- as it was about the time they started trying to monetise it)
It's definitely lost something since, Wilkinson and Earl have gone down a bit in my estimation, and it's shit they just wiped the whole back catalogue at the same time because seasons 1-2 were a lot better than season 3

Dear Joan and Jericha- very funny.
Mystery Hour- really interesting listen (just FYI I know James O'Brien isn't everyone's cup of tea, but the concept and content is great)
Star Wars minute- REALLY geeky but it's quite a lot of fun. Each episode is them analysing exactly sixty seconds of one of the star wars films, going off on all sorts of weird tangents like 'when C3P0 kicks R2D2, why does it sound like he's completely hollow?'

As Coffee says the documentaries on BBC sounds are very good.
13 Minutes to the Moon The Missing Crypto Queen Death in Ice Valley Tunnel 29 The Lazarus Heist
There aren't tons of them but the ones there are seem to be very good.

They’re all good ones to listen to while working as you don’t need to fully concentrate on them.
Peter Crouch one is the same.

For humour - some of the early Gossipmongers podcasts were very funny
Football - there is some brilliant podcasts from the magic sponge which is Rob Beckett and Jimmy Bullard with some great guests. Funniest ones being Graham Stack and Tony Warner.
I always download the weekly Frank Skinner podcast to from absolute radio that’s usually funny.

A few I like, not particularly cerebral but fun.
Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster - food based podcast where they interview different people about their dream meal. They work well together and it’s usually pretty funny
You’re Dead to me - bloke behind Horrible Histories has a comedian and a historian on each episode as they talk about different characters from the past
Evil Genius - Also looking at characters from the past and deciding whether they were evil or a genius by going through facts that aren’t always what they’re known for.

I'll give those episodes a go, thanks ivan. I'm sure it's good, and I just caught a bad one.
Athletico Mince is worth a listen to if you wanted a laugh. Bob Mortimer and some other guy.

I've only ever watched the Mike Tyson - HotBoxin Cheech and Chong episode. To be honest, I found it a bit weird watching him stoned up to his tits, saying random things in awkward moments of silence.
Are other episodes better?
