What podcasts does Annie Mac listen to?

For The Love of Pod! Which podcasts do our favourite celebs listen to? For Issue #013 of the magazine, we asked Annie Mac, Radio 1 DJ and host of Changes, for the five podcasts she couldn’t live without… 

BROKEN RECORD w/ RICK RUBIN AND MALCOLM GLADWELL

A pod about musicians by musicians. I dip in and out of this one as well due to my varying interest in the guests. I particularly enjoyed hearing Rick Rubin interview Andre 3000. Listen on your podcast app >>

POPCAST

A weekly discussion on the headlines of pop culture by a group of journalists at the New York Times headed up by Jon Caramonica. Listen on your podcast app >>

NICE WHITE PARENTS

An exploration of segregation in New York public schools. There are so many echoes of this process in London where I live that I was interested in listening to this. Have greatly enjoyed for it’s top level production and research and it’s totally immersive quality. You are in the PTA meetings! I also learnt so much about the history of segregation in American public schools. Listen on your podcast app >>

GROUNDED WITH LOUIS THEROUX

I enjoy the mix of guests on Louis podcast – and how much the conversation is allowed to meander to different places. You really get all of the guest as they are on so long that they really relax into themselves. I loved Helena Bonham Carter and Sia. Listen on your podcast app >>

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT

I loved this whole series from Jon Ronson. A real life thriller, where we meet all the main characters and while being brought down this ‘whodunnit’ road, also learn so much of what it is like to work in the porn industry today. Listen on Audible >>
