GENERAL INTERVIEW

We’ve always enjoyed following the progress of Kelechi Okafor. Way back in Issue #008 we knew that her podcast Say Your Mind was only going to get bigger, and the last year has certainly proven us right. Not only did she claim the converted cover star spot for our seventeenth issue, but she stormed out of the pandemic with sellout...

It only launched last month, but Missing Pages is already a chart-topping investigative podcast – with a bit of a difference. This show is focused on reopening “literary cold cases” – from the biggest hoaxes, to fake authors and national apology tours. This is the first Original show from The Podglomerate, and they nabbed a perfect host – Bethanne Patrick,...

We’re really keen to share the groups and individuals that are running on passion with a series of interviews highlighting the indy podcasts who made waves at the British Podcast Awards.

Welcome to the second in our series of interviews about the BBC Sounds Audio Lab shows. This time, we’re talking to Adam Zmith about The Film We Can’t See, a show that imagines hidden queer connections between filmmakers over a century ago… What was your introduction to podcasting as a listener?

The rumours are true! Never content with the number of podcasts in the world (or indeed the number of of their own) two of the Founders of Pod Bible magazine have launched a new podcast. Tell Me About It is the newest addition to the Distraction Pieces Network, and it gives listeners a chance to learn more about Scroobius Pip,...

When The Trail Ahead launched in 2021, it became one of my favourite podcasts. From the beautiful cover art by Shar Tuiasoa, to the friendship of the hosts, Faith E. Briggs and Addie Thompson, it brings conversations around activism in the USA’s outdoors recreation scene to a wide audience in an accessible way. After a short hiatus, I was happy...

Every year, the British Podcast Awards bring new podcasts to my radar, but I’m also pleased when podcasts I’ve covered get the recognition they deserve. This year, one such podcast is We Were Always Here, which I featured as a new podcast back in December last year. The award-nominated series brings together the unheard voices and the untold stories of...

Interviewing people who help us as we die and after we’re dead may seem like a very sombre niche for a podcast.

The podcast won The British Podcast Award in 2021 for Best Interview (sponsored by Pod Bible), and the judges said that...
