RECOMMENDATIONS
The best Audible podcasts – from progressive pirates to post-apocalyptic sitcoms
Each issue of Pod Bible magazine, our partners Audible bring you a round-up of the Audible Original Podcasts their members are loving, and press are buzzing about too. Without further ado here’s The Holy Grail of listener favourites, from Issue #013 of the magazine…
HAPPINESS AND HOW TO GET IT
In each episode of Happiness…and How to Get It, comedian Charlie George and anthropologist Mary-Ann Ochota dive into a topic, trend or technique and speak to world-class experts, try some self-experimentation and discuss the science behind the headlines. The result? Practical advice to help make you happier.
“Fun easy points to remember and apply to life”
– Tammi
“Great series with many practical and evidence based ideas”

KURUPT FM 2
The Kurupt FM crew are back. Due to (they claim) overwhelming demand from the fans, the pirate radio veterans return to provide vital insight on six burning issues: Nature, Politics, TV & Film, The Future, History, and Travel. Prepare to come away, if not better informed, certainly with a better understanding of what a garage MC reckons about some stuff.
“Exactly what I need right now!”
– Anon
“This is the funniest show since… well, ever actually”
– Peter M
FASHIONED
Broadcaster Clara Amfo and fashion historian Amber Butchart uncover the secret history of fashion, from the Middle Ages to the 20th Century. The series looks at the legacy fashion has left, to its influence on feminism, civil rights, and the environment.
“Very good series which is also educational and enjoyable”
– Anon
“Recommend for history nerds, fashion aficionados and those interested in women’s history”
– Frankly
SHELTERED
Post-apocalyptic sci-fi sitcom, Sheltered, starring Gemma Whelan, Sindhu Vee, Rufus Hound and Marek Larwood, follows the story of innocent simpleton Gary and social climber Veronica as they leave Fallout Shelter 7421, in search of life in the world outside…they soon regret ever leaving.
“You guys really need to make a part 2”
– S Woodward
“Brilliant sci-fi comedy, immersive production, with a great cast – perfect for getting lost in…”
– Anon
HELL CATS
Hell Cats tells the lost story of history’s most progressive pirates, Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Their tale of cutthroat adventure and an enduring love affair remains largely forgotten – overlooked by historians who prioritised the achievements of their male peers, until now.
“This was amazing. The sound design is like watching a series with your eyes closed”
-Marie
“Brave bold women taking their rightful place in a man’s world”
-L Willby
SOUNDSCAPES
Unlike canned nature sounds created in a studio, renowned acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton gives you the real deal, having travelled the world to record remarkable locations that capture the essence of the place itself. These soundscapes feel as if he has truly brought a slice of the world into your home.
“Relaxing sounds take you to the destination”
-T Neen
“This tape is essential to my getting a good nights sleep and unbroken rest”
