RECOMMENDATIONS

Scroobius Pip’s current top podcast recommendations!

Published on August 15, 2024

We asked Pod Bible co-founder, and host of the Distraction Pieces podcast, Scroobius Pip to tell us about the podcasts he’s been listening to lately. Over to you, Pip…

My name is Scroobius Pip and I’m a full-time podcast listener. Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently.

Here Comes The Guillotine

Each week Frankie Boyle, Susan McCabe & Christopher MacArthur-Boyd attempt to talk about what’s been going on in their worlds and the wider world, but more often than not just end up talking about stuff I can’t in good conscience commit to text in this set of recommendations.

Either way, this is consistently the first thing on my listen list when a new episode drops.

For better or for worse… Listen here >>

Three Bean Salad

Three Bean Salad* is a podcast I’ve had recommended to me for YEARS but, for some reason, only got round to listening to this year. And boy was it worth the wait.

Well, to be specific, boy was Henry Paker worth the wait. I hadn’t come across Henry until Three Bean Salad and I am now, to be blunt, obsessed.

But that’s not to downplay the joy brought to me by the other two hosts, Mike Wozniak and Benjamin Partridge. Listen here >>

Lucy & Sam’s Perfect Brains

Having adored hosts Lucy Beaumont and Sam Campbell on Taskmaster I came into this podcast with an open mind. But seemingly not as open a mind as Lucy and Sam as I couldn’t have predicted the avenues and alleys of thought that would be explored by these glorious minds.

Throwing in guests like Tim Key, John Kearns and seemingly any random person Lucy has ever met… and your ears have a hell of a ride in store.

Be warned: it also features the most inexplicable but catchy theme tune in the podcasting world today. Listen here >>

Got A Problem Mate?

Each week Got a Problem Mate* (or GAPM if you’re nasty) sees comedians Joey Page and Bilal Zafar solve their own problems, their guests problems and the problems of their listeners.

Do they ACTUALLY solve many of the problems in any functional manner?

No.

Do they actually tend to add to the problems?

Sure.

Is it a joy of a listen?

YOU TELL ME, PAL. Listen here >>

Come Curious

Press play on Come Curious and things will get personal and intimate QUICKLY.

Hosts Florence Bark and Reed Amber have been at the forefront of sex positivity and open discussion and exploration of sexuality for around a decade now and they have the ability to make socially uncomfortable subjects seem like every day discussion points (as they probably should be).

Whether they’re being joined by an array of sexperts and sex workers or simply talking amongst themselves, it’s always an eye opening and positive experience. Listen here >>
