Diane Morgan may be best known as the queen of deadpan Philomena Cunk or for her roles as Liz in Motherland and Cath in Afterlife, but it’s easy to forget how entertaining and interesting a person she is in her own right. Luckily for us, podcasts provide the perfect platform for personalities to shine through. Here’s a selection of our favourite podcast episodes featuring Diane…

AS YET UNTITLED
#ThatlsALie // Feb 2015

There’s been a lot of podcasts inspired by TV shows… but this was one of the first TV shows that felt like it was inspired by podcasts. So naturally, it was also released as a podcast (once upon a time). Four guests join Alan Davies for a round table chat where they take it in turns to share anecdotes. Diane’s choice to discuss the noticeable drop in flashers from when she was young to now is as you’d expect, hilarious. Listen now >>

BRIAN GITTINS AND FRIENDS
Episode 29 /| Diane Morgan // Dec 2017

Brian Gittins and Friends remains a hidden jewel in the archives of podcasts now longer with us, and Diane is the perfect guest for it. Each week Brian Gittins & David Edwards invite a guest on an imaginary adventure (in this. instance a zombie apocalypse)… along with their robot friend Charles. Diane’s willingness to improvise whilst maintaining her deadpan lack of enthusiasm is the perfect recipe. Listen now >>

WALKING THE DOG W/ EMILY DEAN
Episode 46 // Diane Morgan // Aug 2019

Walking The Dog is exactly what it sounds like (unless you’re a yo-yo fan). Each week Emily Dean takes a guest & a dog for a walk. As someone who’s always wanted a dog Diane is audibly delighted to be walking two (celebrity) pugs. As with a lot of the best podcasts, the format is the perfect relaxant for the conversation to flow deeper than a regular interview. Listen now >>

GREAT LIVES
Diane Morgan on Air Chief Marshal Hugh Dowding // Dec 2020

Great Lives is a biographical series in which guests discuss an inspirational figure from history. This episode sees Diane step away from the comical approach heard in the episodes above to celebrate a man she learnt about in a book she read during the first lockdown. Diane’s respect is clear as she discusses the Dowding legacy with his own stepson as well as historian Victoria Taylor. Fascinating! Listen now >>

Lou Sanders is a recognisable face on our TVs, often stealing the show. Seemingly out of nowhere she put in side splitting appearances on Hypothetical, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and, of course, Taskmaster. But to those in the podcast world it wasn’t out of nowhere, because she has been tearing it up as a guest on a wide range of podcasts for years now!

Lou’s unique takes on subjects have been what made her stand out on TV and they’re exactly what makes her a consistently hilarious and rarely repetitive podcast guest. Here’s some of our favourite episodes…

DRUNK WOMEN SOLVING CRIME
15: The Mother of All Criminals and Stolen Bermuda Shorts // Nov 2018

DWSC has been one of the blow up successes of podcasting, and, as luck would have it, two of Lou’s favourite things are drunk women and solving crime! The perfect guest, right? Not quite. She’s now sober. But fear not, as that doesn’t hinder her ability to approach the crimes in question from the strangest of angles. It makes no sense that she’s the only sober person. Listen now >>

UNEXPECTED FLUIDS
E4 S2: Sex tech Fails //Sep 2019

Taking your podcast live can throw up all sorts of issues but going live with a podcast about sexual mishaps and mistakes presents its own set of… unique hurdles. So who better for the London Podcast Festival appearance of Unexpected Fluids than the often uncomfortably comfortable Sanders! Lou gleefully shares tales of Tinder  terrors, fiancé foibles and so much more… Listen now >>

BIRTHDAY GIRLS’ HOUSE PARTY
New Year’s Eve // Dec 2018

The birthday girls bring party after party to the podcast world… but you don’t bring out a party pro like Lou Sanders for just any do. No, no no. You save Lou for THE NEW YEAR’S EVE PARTY! Resolutions, choosing who to kiss at midnight and international New Year’s traditions all combine to make it a Birthday Girls’ House Party you really don’t want to miss. Listen now >>

FLIMS TO BE BURIED WITH
Christmas Special // 2018

After interrupting many episodes while living with host Brett at the Edinburgh Fringe, listeners were eagerly awaiting Lou’s full appearance on Films To Be Buried With. Sadly, things didn’t go quite to plan. As something of a precursor to her own podcast, instead of “first film you saw?” or “scariest/funniest film”, Lou proceeded to change the questions to “first cuddle you saw?” and so on. Ridiculous, but an unexpectedly tender and bloody lovely. Listen now >>

THE COMEDIAN’S COMEDIAN
110 // Feb 2015

Recorded three years before the episodes above, Lou’s chat with Stuart Goldsmith on The Comedian’s Comedian finds her in a much more calm and reflective mood as she discusses her career to date. Although there are sneak peaks of Lou’s performing persona, the majority of the podcast shows a side that we perhaps hadn’t heard before and allows us to learn about her journey as a comedian.

Joe Cornish is one of the forgotten forefathers of podcasting. Way back in the early days of the medium, Adam & Joe’s 6 Music radio show grew a cult following, with it’s podcast version adding classic bonus content that’s remembered fondly to this day. But whilst Adam went on to further cement his pod god status, Joe went off to that there Hollywood. Thankfully he is as good a guest as he was a co-host, as the following episodes prove.

SCRIPT APART
Attack The Block with Joe Cornish / Jun 2020

On Script Apart, journalist Al Horner speaks to screenwriters about their initial screenplays for films that are now beloved. From what changed to what stayed the same, the full journey from page to screen is dissected. In this episode Al is joined by filmmaker and podcast hall-of-famer Joe Cornish to discuss his 2011 sci-fi / action film Attack The Block. Joe is in great form as always as he reveals the real life mugging that inspired the film, the importance of research to tell an authentic story and so much more. Listen on your podcast app >>

THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST
Christmas Episodes | Dec 15 / 16 / 17 / 18 / 19 / 20

For many a podcast fan Christmas isn’t about a white bearded man bringing gifts, it’s about a black bearded man (with increasing grey patches) reuniting with his ghost of podcasts past and giving our ears the greatest gift they could wish for. From the exchanging of gifts to the exchanging of scorn, from yearly reflections to yearly Tom Cruise story segments… it’s not Christmas until Dr Buckies and Cornballs have given their Christmas speech. (Episode numbers – 12, 34, 62, 88, 115, 145) Listen on your podcast app >>

FILMS TO BE BURIED WITH
#71 | Joe Cornish / Nov 2019

Joe is a dream guest for Brett Goldstein’s podcast, the show that asks guests to discuss their lives through the films that mean a lot to them. Not only do we get to revel in Joe’s choices and the detail in which he can remember certain scenes, we also get to enjoy some wonderful tangential chats on acting, directing and comedy in general. Brett and Joe’s get on like a house on fire and their strong opinions on DVD categorisation will have you reorganising your shelves in no time. Listen on your podcast app >>

SOUNDTRACKING
Joe Cornish on The Kid Who Would Be King I Feb 2019

Coinciding with the release of The Boy Who Would Be King, Joe joined Edith Bowman to discuss his musical choices within the film. As well as songs that influenced scenes and writing, we also hear about the score from Electric Wave Bureau. The journeys that lead to every tiny choice in film making can be as fascinating as the films themselves so getting to hear those stories and some of the amazing music provides the ultimate, cliched “podcasts take you on a journey” experience.

As someone who has been producing documentaries for over 20 years, Louis Theroux has a signature style that is often lauded. Preferring to sit back and let the action unfold, Louis attempts to be as impartial as possible while often coming across as falsely naïve. It’s an approach that aims to put the focus solely on his subjects and one that has clearly worked for him given the longevity of his career.

Lucky for us then that when it comes to guesting on a podcast Louis is far more outgoing and open to turning the spotlight onto himself and his fascinating life. Here are five of our favourite podcast episodes featuring the man himself…

THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST
EP.29 // Louis Theroux // Sep 2016

This may be our most recommended episode of any podcast in Pod Bible but you’re damn right we’re going to start by recommending it again. In this piece of podcast gold Louis and Adam get a little squiffy on energy drinks and the results are a thing of beauty. Their duet towards the end is arguably one of the greatest moments in podcasting. Listen on your podcast app >>

DESERT ISLAND DISCS
Louis Theroux // May 2019

In stark contrast to the silliness of his many visits to The Adam Buxton Podcast, Louis is far more reflective as he is lead beautifully through the Desert Island Discs soundtrack to his life by Lauren Laverne. The episode is topped off by a wonderful clip of Louis’ Dad, writer Paul Theroux, guesting on Desert Island Discs back in 1976. Listen on your podcast app >>

DISTRACTION PIECES
#289 // Louis Theroux // Sep 2019

A wonderful conversation with Scroobius Pip that acts as the perfect companion to the episodes recommended above. Not only do they touch on Louis’s appearances on Joe Rogan and Adam Buxton’s podcasts they also discuss his curiosity before judgement approach to documentary making, the infamous Jimmy Saville doc and so much more. Listen on your podcast app >>

HIP HOP SAVED MY LIFE
Series 2 – Episode 6 // Louis Theroux // Sep 2019

If you’ve heard snippets of Louis mentioning his early love of hip hop its fairly easy to predict, from age alone, his love for a Tribe Called Quest & Big Daddy Kane. Well… what wasn’t so easy to call was his love of Post Malone & Takeshi 69 or his tales of getting Fat Joe to do a freestyle about gun safety and hanging with Lil Wayne at a Cash Money video shoot. Listen on your podcast app >>

THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE
#463 // Louis Theroux // Mar 2014

Way back in 2014 Louis ventured on to a burgeoning podcast called The Joe Rogan Experience. Back before it became one of the biggest shows in the world. Lous wasn’t quite sure what to expect. As the conversation unfolds however, Joes enthusiasm for open discussion sees Louis grow more relaxed and, indeed, prompts multiple visits in the years to come.

When it comes to guests on the U.S. podcast scene, comedian Theo Von is hard to compete with – he literally won a “guest of the year” belt, which he carries around on tour with him. His life experiences are truly unique and give him a perspective that is simply incomparable. In the last year or two Theo seems to have gone from “reality star turned stand up” to “every stand-ups favourite stand-up” and his podcast appearances have had a lot to do with that. Having genuinely unique outlooks and takes on things (rather than just telling the same stories every time you show up) is the key to being a consistently great guest. Theo ticks that box as much as anyone else out there.

INSIDE OF YOU w/ Michael Rosenbaum
Dec 2018

This conversation is a prime example of example of what makes Theo such a unique guest. As he proceeds to tell true story after true story from his youth, host Michael Rosenbaum repeatedly thinks Theo is telling a joke or riffing a web of fiction. But, as Theo repeatedly insists, he REALLY isn’t. His upbringing just wasn’t like most. Was it being born to an already OAP father, the result of being breast fed by a small breasted mother or the troubles that come with having an adult penis whilst still a toddler? Well that’s for Theo, and Theo only to theories on. Listen on your podcast app >>

RACE WARS
Hot Mashed Potatoes // Oct 2016

Who would’ve predicted that, on a comedy podcast called Race Wars, a mullet wearing, redneck sounding, Louisiana Native… would end up being the conscience of the group? Any podcast with three or more people battling for mic time can get messy, but in this episode Theo sits back and interjects at all the right moment. Rather than fighting for mic time, he revels in the hit ratio of his observations. Listen on your podcast app >>

TIN FOIL HAT w/ Sam Tripoli
#93 // The Night Stalker and Chem Trails // May 2018

There’s something painfully joyous about podcasts with a little tension. The first 20 minutes or so of this chat are seat squirmingly tense as the two guests have some things to settle over comments made on previous podcasts. Thankfully, if you’re on the same side of them, there is nothing that unites quite like a good conspiracy theory. The subject of chem trails quickly wash over any tension and the Night Stalker kills off anything that remains lingering. Listen on your podcast app >>

THE FIGHTER & THE KID
TFATK Episode 422 // Best of Theo Von // Dec 2018

After being a show stealing guest on the Fighter & The Kid, Theo was asked to step in and co-host with Brendan Schaub when Brian Callen was away shooting a TV show. The success of these guest spots not only won him the coveted “Guest of the Year” belt, but even spawned a spin off podcast (The
King & The Sting) with Brendan! Now THAT is successful guesting. If you’re new to Theo this (along with his Instagram clips) is your perfect starting point. Listen on your podcast app >>

Nish is someone that truly knows how to talk. From panel shows to stand up to the Mash Report, he’s made a career of having informed and articulate opinions on almost everything… which makes him the perfect podcast guest!

Rather than rehashing the same stories Nish seems to be an expert on having the right tale to relate to almost any subject. Whether you’re after in depth political analysis or bizarre comedic scrapes, Nish is your man. Here’s a selection of our favourite guest spots from Mr Kumar…

Made Of Human [ed. this podcast is now called Who Hurt You?]
38 // I’ve gotta let my freak flag fly! // May 2017

Sofi Hagan’s podcast is always one of the nicest listens you can find so was the perfect realm to get a relaxed and non “performance” pressured chat from Nish. Discussing everything from the revelation that getting up and talking in front of people is fairly unusual to realising you’re a loser and being fine with that. Listen on your podcast player >>

Rule Of Three
Nish Kumar on Darkplace // Dec 2018

On Rule Of Three, comedy writers Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris talk to people who make comedy about something funny that they love. Nish’s episode discussing the one and only series of Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace is a joy to behold. Listen as Nish waxes lyrical about “the comedy nerd’s Valhalla” and why it still holds up over 15 years later. Listen on your podcast player >>

The Birthday Game
Episode 2 // Lou Sanders, Miles Jupp, Nish Kumar // Sep 2019

Richard Osman is the master of simple gameshow formats and his podcast The Birthday Game is a prime example. Along with Miles Jupp and previous Podcast Prophet Lou Sanders, Nish brings the hilarity as they take it in turns to guess celebrity ages. Will Nish go to war, marry Meghan Markle and have a baby within the next 12 months? Listen now to find out!

No Country For Young Women
Coming, comedy and Nish Kumar // Mar 2019

With this episode of the ever growing female led podcast, Nish was the first male identifying guest of the series and his experiences added such a great layer to an already brilliant show. He may mainly discuss the political and social layers of The Simpsons but we promise you he has a point to it all, which is well worth your listen. Listen on your podcast player >>

Tiny Revolutions
Series 1, Episode 1 // Nish Kumar // May 2019

In Tiny Revolutions [ed. now called Catharsis], host Tiff Stevenson interviews fellow comedians about how and why comedy can be a force for social change and who better to tackle such a complex subject than Nish. Nothing is off limits as the pair go deep into Brexit (of course), Trump (of course) and the big ball related beef between Nish and Piers Morgan. Listen on your podcast player >>

One of the beautiful gifts of the continued rise of podcasts has been the new voices they presents us with. But one of the less acknowledged joys is the new platform podcasts have provided to voices that had always been there, but had maybe drifted from the regular pundit or opinion piece guest list of the mainstream media.

Benjamin has been waxing poetically since the 80’s so it should come as no surprise that he steals the show on podcast after podcast. Here are just a few of our favourite episodes he’s featured on….

BLOOD ON THE TRACKS
Michaela Coel, Benjamin Zephaniah, Bez, Mike Bubbins // Jan 2019

On Blood On The Tracks, Colin Murray gathers together four music obsessives to debate their favourite tracks. The exceptional blend of guests on this episodes are asked to pick a song that gets people dancing, the best song under two minutes and modern day classic. As you’d expect from a performance poet, Benjamin’s picks captivate throughout. Listen on your podcast app >>

BUNK BED
Benjamin Zephaniah // Apr 2019

Benjamin’s dulcet tones provide perfect bedtime listening to his appearance on Bunk Bed (the BBC Radio 4 show that emulates those wondering bedtime conversations held with a sibling or friend) isa real joy. From tai chi breathing exercises to pillow positioning tips, you’d do well not to drop off before the episode’s conclusion. Listen on your podcast app >>

EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
What Would We Do if We Didn’t Have A Prime Minister? // Dec 2019

On each episode of Everything Under The Sun, host Molly (the first ever QI elf) is joined by a guest to answer a question sent in by a curious child. The vastness of Benjamin’s career means he has different experiences to draw upon for different kinds of podcast and his time as a children’s book author comes into okay beautifully on this show. [Ed. this seems particularly topical in October 2022…] Listen on your podcast app >>

BLACK BRITANNIA
Benjamin Zephaniah // Aug 2020

Discussions about police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement featured heavily in podcast conversations in 2020, and rightfully so. In this podcast, Benjamin shares his direct experiences of police brutality, the parallels between the US nad UK and how long these issues have been ignored. Listen on your podcast app >>

DISTRACTION PIECES
Benjamin Zephaniah // Nov 2020

Scroobius Pip is as master of getting his guests to relax and open up and when it comes to telling an engaging story, Benjamin Zephaniah doesn’t need to be asked twice. The conversation flows in all kinds of directions, from coping during the pandemic to his issues with the meat industry, and his interactions with Bod Marley to being in Peaky Blinders.  Listen on your podcast app >>

Do you really Lycett? Is it, is it wicked? Well of course it is. Joe Lycett is a stand up comedian, tv show host, panel show regular and author so of course he is going to be a master when it comes to providing engaging and hilarious variation as a podcast guest!

Joe is effortlessly amusing on any subject imaginable and has a seemingly bottomless grab bag of anecdotes to draw from. We’re loving it, loving it, loving it.

CTRL ALT DELETE
E95 // Comedy, Sexuality and Hecklers // Sep 2017

Emma Gannon’s Ctrl, Alt, Delete discusses work and the lucky people who’ve shaped their careers based on the interests they have. Appearing as part of a prmo tour, this conversation couldn’t feel less ‘promotional’ as Joe speaks of how underwhelming it was to “go viral”, his unintentionally Bond villainesque life goal and so much more.

THE COMEDIAN’S COMEDIAN
E168: Joe Lycett (Live at Machynlleth Comedy Festival) // May 2016

Stuart Goldsmith always does a brilliant job of disarming the comedians he has on his show but sometimes the live episodes are more about performance than introspection. Not in this case. Listen to hear Joe speak honestly about his path into comedy, being a stand up on television and the way in which his sexuality influences his act.

PRIVATE PARTS
E143: Requesting a Hand Job // Dec 2019

A podcast episode that feels more like sitting in on a sleepover than an interview. Jamie and Francis hit it off instantly with Joe as he regales them with tales of the dull reality of sobriety for responsibilities sake the difference between stage Joe and Tesco Joe and the best way to sign off an email. Oh… and they also cover handjobs, hotels and dogs. So that’s nice.

OFF MENU
E41: Joe Lycett (Christmas Special) // Dec 2019

Is there anything better than a guest on Off Menu (the show where celebrities pick thier dream meal) picking a dessert that provokes the ire of co-host James Acaster? We think not. Released as a special Christmas episdoe, you’ll be wanted to reive many of its hilarious moments all year round. Bowl of Special K anyone?

Jayde is an undeniable force. She will go from fast paced wit, to operatic singing, to genuinely crying… all within one podcast guest spot. And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is a versatile guest. Jayde’s ability to go off on all sorts of tangents also means we don’t just get the same stories or subjects on her different appearances. Here’s some of our favourites…

Griefcast – Episode 2 // November 2016

Jayde really set the tone for what was to come with Cariad Lloyd’s amazing Griefcast. Her heartbreakingly open discussion of losing her sister was filled with warmth and humour, making what many would assume to be an uncomfortable listen flow along in beautiful tribute. Listen now on Spotify >>

Celebrating podcasters is a common occurrence, but in this modern world, being a solid, grade-A guest is something that needs celebrating. Our Podcast Prophet for issue #010 of the magazine was film fiend and creator of Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker.

Sardonic, cynical, and world-weary. Not our words but those used by Desert Island Discs in the blurb for their episode with our latest Podcast Prophet Charlie Brooker. Sounds like a great guest right? Well while that description of his on-screen persona may be accurate, there’s a whole lot more to Charlie. “I think when people meet me in the flesh, often they’re surprised that I’m not like this deadpan, horrible, sarcastic monster that I play on television…”. But what about on podcasts? You’ll have to listen to the following episodes to find out…

THIS GAME CHANGED MY LIFE
Charlie Brooker: My Life in Video Games // Apr 2020
